Hey all,

I was reading some posts on Apr and May 2016 AOS filers forum, and realized that some of them, who are already approved with their green card, did not have an interview. I did not know it was possible. Do you have any idea who may be exempt from interview? Is it only K-1 status people? Or could it be anyone on any visa status?

Please share your knowledge.

Only K-1 (and probably the ones that went through that process most recently), because they'd already had an interview while applying for the visa.
