It's very unlikely you'd have a green card by the end of November. It can take even longer than 9 months. My friend applied in October 2014 and didn't get her green card until August 2015. Just a head up.

If you applied for AP and get that then you can leave the country - However, that is generally used for emergencies only. It's up to the discretion of the immigration officer if he accepts the AP travel document when you fly back into the U.S. The best thing is to wait for the green card if you can.

All the best!

Right now, it shows your local office (assuming it's Milwaukee) as processing GC's from Nov 2015 currently. And in most cases, if you called and said why hasn't yours been looked at, they'll tell you "The local office is currently processing cases from Nov 2015."

Awe man, we will be filing at the end of the month with Milwaukee as our local office. This is definitely not what I wanted to hear aha.

Looks like we will be waiting with you as well OP!

we have applied for AOS from a K1 , they received it on may 7 2016, got txt and NOA as usual, biometrics we already had also just a few weeks after they received case. However now were in the 70 day mark and the online case status with uscis still shows a validation error, says receipt number incorrect,, well its correct, havnt received any rfe or other info since biometric appointment. why cant I track it? I called uscis and the gal said" I don't know why, sometimes its like that" wow how reassuring!

we filed work auth and AP with it too but no info them either. we really are trying to buy our tickets as we want to go back Philippines for 3 months by end November, but with out her greencard we cant. any insight out here why we cant track our case and why uscis cant answer our questions?

We have the same validation error. It's beyond annoying to not be able to track your case online. Once you get to the 75 day mark, you can ask for a service request, and Tier 2 will call you back and give you an update. We called on Day 78 (which was Friday) and were told that the EAD was approved and was in processing. We're still waiting on it in the mail, I'm guessing this week or next. Best you can do.

Incidentally, I'm also not sure about AP and the GC itself for us, because my special little snowflake is not really detail oriented in the slightest and didn't bother to ask. In fact, when he first got off the phone with Tier 2 all he said was "they said it will maybe be the end of August" and I LOST MY MIND. Then he was going on about 120 days and I have no idea what he was talking about. TURNS OUT, he failed to mention the minor detail of it being *approved* and that it can take up until the end of August for them to print and mail it. Yep. Love that guy so much.

Marriage/ AOS Timeline:

23 Dec 2015: Legal marriage

23 Jan 2016: Wedding!

23 Jan 2016: "Blizzard of the Century", wedding canceled/rescheduled (thank goodness we were legally married first or we'd have had a big problem!) :sleepy:

24 Jan 2016: Small "civil ceremony" with friends and family who were snowed in with us. December was a bit of a secret and people had traveled internationally and knew we *had* to get married that weekend, and our December legal marriage was nothing but signing a piece of paper at our priest's kitchen table, without any sort of vows etc so this was actually a very special (if not legally significant) day. (L)

16 Apr 2016: Filed for AOS and EAD/AP (We delayed a bit-- no big rush, enjoying the USCIS break)

23 Apr 2016: Wedding! Finally! :luv:

27 Apr 2016: Electronic NOA1 for all 3 :dancing:
29 Apr 2016: NOA1 Hardcopy for all 3
29 Jul 2016: Online service request for late EAD (Day 104)
29 Jul 2016: EAD/AP Approved ~3 hours after online service request
04 Aug 2016: RFE for Green Card (requested medicals/ vaccination record. They already have it). :ranting:
05 Aug 2016: EAD/AP Combo Card arrived! (Day 111)
08 Aug 2016: Congressional constituent request to get guidance on the RFE. Hoping they see they have the form and approve!

K-1 Visa Timeline:

PLEASE NOTE. This timeline was during the period of time when TSC was working on I-129fs and had a huge backlog. The average processing time was 210+ days. This is in no way predictive of your own timeline if you filed during or after April 2015, unless CSC develops a backlog. A backlog is anything above the 5-month goal time listed on USCIS's site

14 Feb 2015: Mailed I-129f to Dallas Lockbox. (L) (Most expensive Valentine's card I've ever sent!)

17 Feb 2015: NOA1 "Received Date"
19 Feb 2015: NOA1 Notice Date

18 Sep 2015: Medicals complete

21 Sep 2015: Packet 3 complete, my boss puts a temporary moratorium on all time off due to work emergency :clock:
