I see it says nearest CIS office for I-485. Is this where the possible interview will take place if it doesn't get waved for AOS? How do I find the nearest office to us? Also, we sent the AOS paperwork today, so, when will we know when we have to do Biometrics?????

Thanks!

You can find field offices near you here: http://www.uscis.gov/about-us/find-uscis-office/field-offices

Once USCIS has accepted your forms, you will get your NOAs in the mail. Then you will get a letter from USCIS with your biometrics date and location.

Yes, it should be your local office, which would be the one closest to your address.

I'm not sure if it's different in every state, but here in NYC the biometrics is done in different places depending in the borough you live and not in the local office. You should receive biometrics notice in a month, I would say. The notice usually comes soon after the NOA1.

Congrats, anyway. The local CIS in Detroit usually conducted interview AoS for K-1 visa which means your husband does not have to wait at least 6 months to get his green card. Many people get potential interview waiver letter have to wait at least 6 months to get approval for green card. My husband has to drive 4 hours to Kendall, Miami, if I had one.

I shouldn't complain lol Detroit can be a bad area. Hopefully the office is in a nicer area of Detroit, if we have to go to the interview. Thanks again

My friend, she's from Indonesia, went to CIS local office in Detroit for biometric and she was lived in Lansing - I have no idea how far it is-. She said it was nice CIS local office. She has her green card now though she filed I-485 only 3 days apart from me.
