Am confused by AOS!

[clairerubunda 0]

As with the K1 process it took me ages to get my head around all the ins and outs, and lots of reading and posting on the boards!

So, I get married on December 1st and then where will my AOS go? To the same place (CA) as my K1 or where?

I will be living in Ohio.

I am trying to figure out how long it will take to get my,

1/ travel doc (EAD???)

2/ Green Card

3/ AOS

Thanks all in advance

You need to send it to the Chicago Lockbox address.

AOS - local office in your area (or if your a k1 might get lucky and transfer to CSC)

EAD and AP is at missouri... I think

Yes the AOS application goes to Chicago.

Are you in California, or have you already moved to Ohio?

If you are in the process of moving consider filing the AOS after moving to avoid trying to change the address while they are processing the application to avoid loosing paperwork, I have heard of people ending up in deportation proceedings for not attending a scheduled AOS interview, due to a lost appointment letter.

Also if you have moved remember that you have to file an AR-11 within ten days of moving, and after getting green card, if you move you have to file and AR-11, and an I-865 to show change of address.

USCIS states that they will approve your EAD (work authorization) in 90 days and for the most part they usually meet that goal ... I am unsure of AP (travel document) as we didn't apply for it so I didn't do much research for it ...

The time to get approved for the AOS (green card) can vary from a few months to a year or longer ... It really depends on which local office you are going through and if you have any delays do to the FBI name check ... I some cases if you are a K-1 Visa you have a chance to be transfered to CSC and if you are lucky enough to get this transfer then you could have your approval in a few months without an interview ...
