Washington DC field office people out there?

[KMR&MHAH 11]

Hi all,

I'm wondering if any of you are in the greater DC area and applying for AOS. We are and the National Benefits Center has not yet sent our information to the field office but wondering if anyone else has been and where you are in the process.

Please let us know!

Thanks.

We are in the greater Washington DC area too and my husband has been waiting for his green card since March 5, 2013. He did his biometrics at the end of March and had his EAD/AP approved on May 8. 2013. He received the Notice of Potential Interview Waiver letter on June 10 and has been waiting since then for his greencard approval.

Oh wow. I really do NOT want to wait that long. You guys have waited more than 1.5 years! I really hope they actually interview us. For some reason I don't think they will....

Sorry I just realized that I entered the year incorrectly in my previous post! All the dates were in 2014! Sorry again!

HI halil.

I couldn't see a timeline for your profile. When did you submit your AOS application? Are you applying after receiving a K1?

Hi Derwood,

Because I do work for an organization that serves immigrants to the US, I will try to go to this and justify it for work. If I can't go in person, I say we all register to join the call. We don't have an interview waiver, but I'm quite disturbed how long the timelines look for AOS, especially in light of an executive action opening USCIS to the prospect of more than a million applications for something or other. I support immigration reform, but there needs to be support to open capacity for that. They are clearly already over capacity, so I'm interested to hear their plan...if there is one.

Awesome! It will be great to have somebody there in person to see what is being said and hopefully to try and ask a questions. I agree that as many people as possible should dial in too. Thank you!

Halil,

I don't think you should be concerned at this point. Most September filers are moving along a similar timeline as you are. For example, my husband filed on Sept 5, completed fingerprinting Sept 30, and received the EAD on Oct 16. We are VERY close to your timeframe and have also not heard more about the I-485 application. From what I can tell we will be waiting a few more months.

Keep us posted if you get any updates on your I-485 and we will do the same!

Welcome to our country!

I see that most of the people here as k-1 visa . i want to ask you this . is there any difference between dv lottery and any other visa when you do aos in us . The reason that i am asking this question because some people are getting their green card in 3 or 4 months .
