AOS interview

[Dusty B Shah 0]

Hi, my question is, how long does it take to get your AOS interview letter? Our last update was in March. Saying our case was ready for my husband's interview & we'd get a notice in the mail, nothing has come. Our status hasn't changed. Is this normal?

Probably normal. You can look at the USCIS processing times

It's normal to not get the letter by now? We thought since nothing has come that it's been waived, but we'd get a notice for that too. Ugh very frustrated!

Unfortunately, every case can be different. Averages, are just that, averages. There are some people who wait over a year, others that get it done in a few months. Most, tend to fall right around the average. Did you have any RFE's or RFIEs?

it is normal, mine has been on that notice since August 15, 2016. I would suggest you call USCIS CSR to speak with a level 2 officer. Ask for Service Request. It won't hurt to ask though.

Nope, everything has gone smoothly, he got his EAD and has been working since June. We're just waiting on his green card, we were told most k1 don't get an Interview, but nothing has come in the mail. Not sure if it's cause to worry?

Some K1 don't usually have interview, but USCIS changes like the weather depending on your case. It is normal and nothing to worry about. 

Just the patient and worry is what you have to worry about lol .....

I have heard numbers from 50/50 to 90/10 on who gets the interview waiver and who doesn't for K1. The truth is, USCIS is intentionally opaque about these numbers (but nobody knows why).  In general progress on EAD/AP is independent of progress on the AoS; those are handled by different offices. This is why some people, who get their GC processed so fast, that their EAD/AP have yet to complete (which are then cancelled/denied as unnecessary). 

 

My point was that it taking a while is not a cause to worry. That it is well within the realm of normal.

I am still waiting for the interview for the GC although mine is through marriage to a USC.

Mine too, did you have RFEs? Did they tell you why the hold up?

I did not receive any kind of RFEs, I only found out I was suppose to be scheduled for interview in March 2017 but they never sent the notice, as confirmed by a level 2 officer. So they were supposed to reschedule me for an interview after 45 days of contacting the local office. I called today again to speak with a very rude and arrogant level 2 officer, she seems to have woken up on the wrong side of the bed. Others before have been nice and helpful, but the one today, not the best experience.

I've tried calling but can never get through, so I did the online inquiry. It said by Aug 23rd I would hear back.

How do you call them? Do you call the 1-800-375-5283 number? I usually pick, 1, then 2, 2, 2 and then asked to be transferred to a level 2 officer. I also ask for a call back from them.

No! I'll try this way, I wasn't sure which numbers to choose, thanks for the advice.
