[Vexie 4]

Much more help it you join the already established March 2016 AOS that has over 17 pages and and over 200 comments find it her: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/587344-aos-march-2016-filers/page-15?hl=%2Bmarch+%2Baos#entry8066126

My understanding is that is the thread for AoS from family based visa's (like K1) and this is for adjustment from work/student/tourists. They have different timelines as K1 visa holders can get interview waivers and such?

I had my AOS interview March 8, 2016, I came in on F-1 visa 12 years ago and I am filing for AOS with my wife who is USC. There were two IOs in the room when my wife and I walked in. We went through the security check and sat for a few minutes before we were called in. The first thing one of the IO said was how amazed he was about how organized and detailed the folder we brought in for interview was. The interview itself went pretty smoothly as we answered every question appropriately and as asked. IOs were shocked and excited when they learnt I shattered a jumbo jet and proposed to my wife while in the sky. I blanked out when he asked me about my sponsor and I told him I met him in Texas, but IO was insistent that my sponsor filed his taxes in Virginia, but I held my position and told both IOs that I met my sponsor in Texas and I don't know all his business ventures and states that he works. IO took my I-94 and said " You can have your passport back but I am going to hang on to your I-94 and send this to NBC" he then stapled it to my documents and folder he has with him and all along during the interview process, he kept on stamping something on my pile of files with him but he never stamped my passport. The final thing he said after asking the YES and NO questions was " We will get back with you if we need additional information, but the time it will take you to hear back from me will be way shorter then what you had to wait to get an interview" My wife then asked " we plan on traveling and going to visit Africa and stop by Jamaica, are we able to go and return without problems ? IO responded "If you have to travel, I will get with you attorney and have him file for AP for you before you travel" It's been 14 days since my interview and my status online has not been updated from "interview scheduled " I am confused and don't know what to think.. Is this a normal interview and I don't know what to expect next. Interview was in Dallas Texas office

No it has a number of visa types, anyone starting the AOS process in March. The OP has not specified this being for family based visas. Just thought I'd help you guys out by instead of having two threads, I'd point you to the one that is well established rather than this one, to help answer all your questions and see other fillers timescales.

It will be all okay.. sometimes io are cant decided by him/her self. They need to talk to their superviser, to approve ur case. Trust me I know it from my previous experince..

So just be relax and am sure that u ll be get good news soon.

Thank you very much. I guess I need to relax as you said. I am over here reading how other folks got an update wishing a few days and mine is 3 weeks plus already. I just gat to have faith and try to stay positive. My EAD expires in June, do I renew it now or wait till I get the GC approval at which point I wouldn't need EAD no more? Or do I just go ahead and submit for renewal while I wait for my AOSto be adjudicated??
