 Hello To Everyone!

Question Regarding AOS Form I -485 

- Do We Need To Complete Supplemental A for Form I-485 Adjustment Of Status Under Section 245 (i)

are you referring to Part 2 item # 2? Got advise from here that is should answer no. In reference below is  the Section 245 (i) of INA.

K3 is obsolete, for all intents and purposes it no longer exists. CR1 is the option they want. Even if they applied for K3, it would get denied and automatically converted to a CR1.

Thank you Pedro.

So some news. My biometrics letter was sent out two days ago. I know this because I called USCIS and spoke to a tier two officer to see what would happen in the instance that I was away during the appointment date (we're on vacation in California for two weeks in August). We're in the Outerbanks right now but the letter should be there when we get home, and I can just do a walk in. Failing that I have an infopass appointment set up for the 2nd August at the Philadelphia field office which also acts as an Application Support Center.

What did they say to do if you cannot make the appointment? I'm in the same situation and will be away August 5th-13th and am due to get my biometrics letter any day now.

So following my story, my packet was delivered on July 12th at the Chicago Lockbox and I haven't heard anything yet. Today I called and this man told me that it can take from 25 to 35 days to answer (when previously on Friday they told me they have 10 days to give a response). He told me to call back in 10 days if I haven't heard anything, so I'll call next Thursday if I have no news.. :(

I hope you hear good news soon! I am so sorry about your case, it might just be too much paper works and they're trying to do as much as they can. I understand how you feel if I am in your shoes. Be positive! 😊

My understanding is it's not a huge problem, and you can do it when you return.

Hi guys. I just checked USCIS website about the processing timelines and saw that my field office ( Phoenix, AZ ) is currently processing cases from October, 2016. How about yours?
