My (now) husband arrived to the states on December 31, 2011 on a K-1 fiancé visa. We were married on Jan 9, 2012 and rushed our paperwork to file for adjustment of status out. The USCIS received our paperwork on Jan 20, 2012 and sent us a notice date of March 6, 2012 that our fingerprints had been accepted and that my husband would be issued his work authorization/advance parole. We received this card on March 20th. Now, here is my question. How much long should we expect to wait for the green card? If we do not get it this month, or next, we will have to file for an work authorization extension in January and pay an additional fee. This just seems absolutely ridiculous to me - as we followed all of the rule and guidelines. The last "touch" we have on the 485 is April 30th. I have called to put in a service request, twice, and both times the women say I'm within the processing times because CSC is only processing green cards from March 2011!!!!!!! Insane! So, what is my next step? Do I just wait it out and pay the extension fee - or do we contact our congressman. Is it taking other people this long?

Thank for any insight!!

Don't ever do anything you're not willing to explain the paramedics.

I'm fairly certain if he does have to renew his I765 the fee is waived due to the pending AOS. You just have to include a copy of your NOA.

Good luck!

What is the normal time to get them? I have a friend who sent hers in the first week of Feb (a few weeks after we did) and she got her notification of green card being mailed today...

We applied for EAD, AP, GC on Aug 19. We got the EAD & AP on Oct 27 and GC on Oct 31. My wife did a walk-in for bio as the scheduled appointment fell into the week we would be in Hawaii. I'm not sure if that sped things up.
