I attended a CFO seminar around the end of March this year and when the officer discussed the AOS and Green card part, she said that for Filipinos, getting a GC is now as quick as a month and a half. Judging by the signatures of some members here, I think it took an average of 4 months. Has anyone experienced getting a GC in a month and a half after applying for one? Thanks. :)

As far as I remember I received my GC a month after I arrived here in the US. That's year 2012. I was under F2A though. Not sure if that's different or same with K1.

The other poster was an F-2 visa the process is different for immigrant visas. For K-1 it is still taking 4-6 months after filing AOS.

Hank's right.... taking 4-6 months for GC for a K-1. I hope you don't leave your patience behind in Philippines as you still need it once you arrive in USA. Long way still to go.

File AOS, include I-131 (free to file w/I-485) 2-4 months later you get your EAD card

It takes a while for some, generally. In my case I got my GC in less than 2 months after filing AOS so I guess I was lucky.

"There are eight million stories in the naked city; this has been one of them" Your mileage will always vary. K-1 compared to CR-1 is different. Don't mix them up otherwise your giving someone unjust hope for their personal situation.

And just to be clear, I WAS ON A K1 VISA. Not giving any "unjust hope" just sharing my OWN,PERSONAL timeline.
