I was wondering if there's any current AWA couples out there who want to pool the knowledge we all glean from this process and support each other through this stressful time? I'm not sure my case will fall under AWA yet (arrest but no conviction) but I'm trying to prepare for the worst whilst hoping for the best!

AOS from VWP

21 March Priority Date (day 4)

27 March text/email NOAs received (day 10)

31 March hard copy NOAs received (day 14)

11 April successful biometrics walk in (day 25)

29 April Testing and Interview ? (day 43)

12 May received hard copy NOA of interview scheduled 16 June! (day 56) :dancing:

27 May email received stating EAD card is in production and my AP has been approved (day 71)

30 May email received stating EAD has been shipped, should arrive Monday! (Day 74)

2 June received EAD in the mail (day 77)

16 June INTERVIEW :dancing: APPROVED!!!! (day 91!!!!)

20 June email received stating Green Card picked up by USPS due to be delivered on Monday 23rd!!!

Because the conviction may (or may not) happen before adjudication/interview. We are trying to get the DA to hold off until my green card is on hand. However, she wants to settle this ASAP and I have read that even if my green card is approved, uscis can revoke it if they become aware of a conviction post approval. So it's a bit scary as we don't know exactly what we are dealing with. The offense is definitely an AWA offense. I've not found anyone else who's gone through this same scenario though where the us petitioner has been arrested but not yet convicted at the time of AOS.

This is a legal perspective of the AWA as it relates to the way the USCIS has chosen to implement it prepared by the American Immigration Lawyer's Association.
