Hey Guys we are in the process of filing AOS and I just wanted to give everyone a heads up. If you are still in your home country make sure you bring a copy of your medical exam (DS 3025) and if possible, even after your medical exam, get ALL the vaccines needed here. For example the measles vaccine (MMR) is a two dose vaccine, get the second dose before you come.

Vaccines in the US are EXTREMELY expensive. Make sure you have all the required ones for AOS. If you are already in the US, do your research and find clinics that offer low cost or free vaccine shots.

We just got some vaccines my husband was missing in NYC for free (only paid admin. fee of $8). If anyone here is living in NYC go to the Fort Greene Health Clinic in Brooklyn, staff is very friendly and the price is the best.

Everyone I need some help, my future step daughter lost our NOA2. I've got a picture of the full sheet, just not the original. I read on here to get a copy of the original it costs $405 and could take 6 months to receive it.

My question, do you think the picture in addition to the email from USCIS will be sufficient? Please help

8/10/2015 - Married

9/15/2015 - Mailed AOS packages

9/16/2015 - USPS Tracking confirms delivery

It is not true that the NOA2 copy original will cost you $405. Please go to the local USCIS office and they can print you one right there. Kindly do not stress out about that!

Not sure if this has been addressed here but does anybody know the approximate time it takes to obtain permanent residency after adjusting your status from a K-1 visa?

You mean the temporary green card? If so it varies. Some people wait 6 months and some over a year. I noticed that those who received an interview waiver waited even more than 1 year.

Yes the temp green card. Cool thanks for the information, I'll have to do a little more research.

Our visa status changed to ISSUED! Can't wait to pick him up from the airport and start marriage preparations! Not looking forward to this AOS journey but I'm happy he'll be here with me for this part ☺️

The total amount of days from the date I mailed in our K1 Visa application to the day my fiancé stepped foot into the USA:

1 year, 3 months and 8 days.

The amount of days from the date we mailed in our AOS to the date everything was approved (after 3 RFEs):

7 months & 5 days

Which makes our journey a total of:

2 years, 3 months, and 8 days

I have two Case numbers listed on CEAC website...one for my fiancé and one for my step son. Only one changed to AP and the other still says ready. I know I'm one step closer, but why aren't both of them in AP? Lord...one more thing to worry about, or is this normal???

Just yourself and your wedding plans :)

Is the envelope huge? I'm going to have two of them. I hope I don't have to give up a whole carry on bag for our visa paperwork :o

Lol exactly what I was thinking. It's like a normal form size but pretty heavy.

So I think I don't need my other forms. All of the k1 and 1-129F forms?

Oh, take them with you. You might need something for AOS. I'm taking mine in case. We might need to build a library for all these forms, haha.

I just won't carry them in my messenger bag. Who are you flying with?
