Hi All,

My wife entered the US on a K-1 visa this past December. We got married at the end of January and filed AOS in February. Searched the forums for advice/tips and followed the guides on VJ to prepare the paperwork. We found out today that her AOS was approved without an interview and should have her Green Card soon.

We were expecting EAD and AP to take 3 months and AOS approved in 6-12 months. What a pleasant surprise to have AOS approved in a month and a half

This is a great site! So much information and everything you need to know about the visa process regardless of the type of visa you are applying for.

Thanks again VJ!!!

Wow, congrats!! Do you mind sharing what you included in your AOS paperwork (other than the standard forms)? We'll be filing soon and would like to try and avoid an interview if we can.

All we sent was the required documentation. We didn't send any evidence or anything else. Actually, I was half expecting an RFE because we kind of through everything together at the last minute.

I think it's crapshoot who gets an interview and who doesn't. I have seen people send it lots of evidence but still got called for an interview and others, like us, who didn't send evidence and got approved without the interview.

Good luck and wish you a speedy AOS approval.

No, they won't be since the AOS is approved. EAD status says "case terminated benefits received by other means"

EAD/AP are only used in the interim until AOS is approved
