Well, honestly, if you do not like it. Just go back to your country. At least USA allowing you to stay on their land, even though the processes are slow and ineffective and takes ages of time. However

Hi, All,

On 7/7 we got the Welcome notice! It was our 14 months (being married) anniversary!

I was an F1 student.

And we have never received PIW letter. We did get RFE for marital evidence.

After receiving my latest RFE for new medical exam, less than 2 weeks, I got the approval!

It was quite a long wait... My lawyer said she has never seen any case that F1 status got married and didn't need to interview for AOS. But I guess it does exist!

Hope anyone is still under this long and painful wait will soon get great news too!

5/07/2014 Got Married! F1 student with OPT

5/30/2014 I485 fingerprint fee received

6/30/2014 Biometrics done

7/30/2014 OPT Expired

8/11/2014 EAD card approved

2/18/2015 Immigration Services Officer told my congresswoman that my case is PIW

2/23/2015 My lawyer said my case is in NYC field office (not sure if it's true)

Congrats to you too! More and more, the NIPW seems to be for others besides K1. I used to think that's all who got their interviews waived.

Congratulations to everyone receiving their green cards recently. I'm a long time lurker on this thread and it's been a great help and comfort at times to read everyone's stories and know that my turn would surely come. I wanted to add my information to the thread to help those that are trying to keep track of the process and to make sense of the timelines.

I filed for AOS in August 2014, and was fully expecting to receive an RFE for a new medical as so many others have recently - my K1 medical would have been dated February 2013, and we waited an extra few months after receiving the fiance visa before I made the move to the US.

However I was excited to get an email notice that the AOS decision was approved and welcome letter mailed on Friday - I received the NOA "Welcome Letter" yesterday, and should have GC in hand within three weeks. :)

No RFE, no medical renewal, just the NPIW and one Request for Service/update in May (which was useless!). It's almost exactly 11 months since I sent the AOS packet.

I had actually just sent in renewal petitions for my EAD/AP, due to expire in October, which I will now no longer need - I recall reading one user's post who had a similar situation, and wondered if the renewal EAD/AP paperwork somehow jumpstarted the AOS case. I don't know if it's luck or coincidence, and the internal workings of the USCIS will remain a frustrating mystery, but a sensible system would allow cases to be transferred to the Adjudicating Officer if they request it. My thought process would be "why work to approve these two petitions if I can approve just one?"

Good luck to all those still waiting!
