Greencard approved in 58 days!?!

[Michael2017 368]

I do not know the person myself, so I relied on the lawyer's comments. So maybe it is lawyer's BS, yes. I have it in written in emails. The lawyer is a big number in Florida and not some paralegal. Charged me 400$ just for a first consultation with the advice to get B visa and Adjust Status (he also predicted visa bulletin to be current in 2016 for F2A - did not yet happen, too ) First and Last contact of course with him.

Parents of a USC can also have their interviews waived.

https://www.uscis.gov/policymanual/HTML/PolicyManual-Volume7-PartA-Chapter5.html

1. Waiver Criteria​

USCIS has the ability to waive an interview.​ Adjustment of status interviews are generally waived for applicants in the following classifications:​

•Applicants clearly ineligible;​

•Unmarried children of U.S. citizens, if not filed as part of a family pack;​

•Parents of U.S. citizens;​

•Fiancé(e)s of U.S. citizens who married within 90 days, and their children;​

•Asylee and refugee cases in which the applicant has previously been interviewed by an asylum or refugee officer;​ and​

•Unmarried children (under age 14) of lawful permanent re​sidents.​

Hmmm, our gc was approved on the same day, after only 57 days from NOA1. Our status for the ead/ap has not been terminated yet, although I keep watching to see when it changes. Our situation is a little different though. My husband is came in on a K-1 visa and had already done his interview etc for the K1. We did not use a lawyer, although I felt quite confident that both our K1 application and AOS was complete. There are no other family members involved.

Makes sense.

Can't deny based on intent alone. With marriage-based applications, there is the need to convince the officer there is no fraudulent marriage to gain US residence. Not relevant to parents at all. Parents are parents.

Hi all, to close the loop on this, we did indeed receive approval on GC and received them in the mail via Priority Mail on Friday 10/28 (1 week after it said it was approved)....I guess anything is possible!
