Hi Lyoness

 

I saw it.

You are right, but I can't believe that AOS wiil take so long time.

Maybe there is some disturbances in USCIS website?

 

Field Office Processing Dates for Detroit MI as of: November 30, 2016

Form	Form Name	Processing Cases As Of Date:
I-485	Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status	November 30, 2015
N-400	Application for Naturalization	June 24, 2016
N-600	Application for Certification of Citizenship	July 3, 2016

Firstly, these were updated November 30th and secondly they are for the field office. If your case stays with NBC it will be faster... right now there is no way to separate out a timeline for NBC i-485's since it's pretty new occurrence that they process it. It's not on the uscis website and VJ don't have NBC in their list either..

@Jimbob89, @Harold_Oakland congrats on moving forward  and also @Venice1012 congrats on the card! You are just in the beginning of November so it sends a lot of hope that they are moving into November filers...

@californiabear I'm starting lightly...(cause I know I'll just end up staying in bed if I plan too much.. :/ ) so my morning was just to get up make coffee and sandwich, watch the news and then do some small chores... RIght now I'm just reading VJ, but I will also pick one job to apply for

I spoke to my husband and we are going for a walk when he gets off work

I had a hard time going to sleep last night.. I think that's part of my problem...so I had some ZzzQuill after trying for 2 hrs and I passed right out

I've been here for 6 months too. I'm just glad that my husband's work allows him to have 3 days off in a week. We get to spend more time together. When I'm home alone I usually keep myself busy doing chores. I also love to cook so I go online and search for different recipes. Also my husband's colleagues are kind enough to help me out as well. When they go for vacation they usually ask me to watch their dogs for a week and when they get back they pay me. When my husband is at home then we go shopping together,watch movies, go to library and get books to read at home, and cuddles alot. So that helps me get my mind off things. Currently I'm on day 60. I had a job interview last week and I explain them my situation. They reassure me that I have nothing to worry about since they are willing to wait for me. It's a university job so I guess they are willing to wait if you are the right candidate for them. Anyway I hope we don't have to wait for too long so we can actually start living our lives. 

Be careful because even babysitting for a family member paid or unpaid can be considered "work " for immigration purposes.

Yes, it has been discussed on VJ several times.

1.

Immediately, before filing for AOS. As a K-1 visa holder you are technically eligible to file for an EAD immediately when you arrive. However, this EAD will expire when you K-1 expires (90 days) and because of this and the wait time (>90 days) it is a waste of both time and money to bother applying. You will file as category (a)(6), "Nonimmigrant Fiance(e) of U.S. Citizen".

But couldnt one just apply for an extension under the guise of a pending AOS application? Especially if they get married lets say day five and apply for AOS day 6 and already have your NOA 1 for 485 before the K-1 EAD expires?

It's recommended to apply for extension 90 days before expiry  (I think due to recent delays it's even between 120-90 days b4).

[Suss&Camm 2,213]

Actually.. this category ead is non-extendable..

K-1 Nonimmigrant Fiance(e) of U.S. Citizen or K-2 Dependent--(a)(6). File Form I-765 if you are filing within 90 days from the date of entry. This EAD cannot be renewed. Any EAD application other than for a replacement must be based on your pending application for adjustment under (c)(9).

I believe, I pointed all that out.

I didn't say rely on it as gospel.  Just providing what's showing out there.  

All anyone can do is look at the processing times charts, review similar timelines, and read posts.  It is what it is and will all come eventually.  If there is anything I've learned through our K1 journey its that it all works out in the end.  Some ends are quicker than others but we all get there eventually.

I know.. I re-iterated since they didn't seem to read/get the part about the NBC being faster...or the November latest update.. I think they just looked at the processing time..

Just cant win lol

Detroit's processing times are very slow.  We were just looking at that the other day.  Hopefully we can all be handled at NBC and not have to play Detroit's waiting game!

Good Luck everyone!

Hello All,

I applied for the K-1 in November and I have yet to hear if I am approved or not. Am I the only one waiting? I am new to this sight and wanted to see how it works. Thank you

In reference to K-1 visa application? 

Noone in this thread is waiting for K-1 visa. Everyone has already gone through that process and are in the process of adjustment of status... 

 

This is the correct Thread for k-1 visa applicants.
