Hello everyone,

 

We had our interview yesterday and all in all it went quick and seemingly well. The officer asked us some basic questions about our relationship, was interested in seeing only basic proof (didn't even look through our photo album and such). At then end however, he mentioned that the K1 file wasn't sent in together with the AOS file (apparently they should be coming in as a nice big bundle). They said that they will request it and it will take ~ 30 days to receive that from the MSC (in Missouri) plus another 60 days after that for a decision to be made - so another 90 days in total. 

 

Did anyone have this sort of situation before? Everything I've searched usually turns up situations with USCIS acknowledging lost files or portions of it, but not forgetting to send the K1 portion. Any sharing of your experience would be appreciated.

 

 

Thank you

Thank you. I am really hopping this won't set back the whole things by 3 months... but given how timelines are moving and the upcoming Christmas holiday shutdowns, I'm really not expecting any miracles.

It happened to me. I got to the interview on july 25th 2017,everything was fine and the co same the same thing my k1 visa package was not sent to the co. It was sticker with the customs at the airport.  so decision can not be made. Fast forward yesterday 12/06/2017  I got the approval notice by post. But no update on the USCIS website.  Don't worry everything will work out.

It took 5 months for USCIS to find my file. And it's just 50 minutes drive from the airport where  the customs collected it to the USCIS office.🤣🤣🤣🤣 6  service request,5 infopass and frequent visits to Congress man's office

Wow, that sounds straight up excruciating. 

 

 

Just a quick update: much to our surprise we received our approval letter on December 18th (with the approval letter dated December 13th) and then even much more to our surprise our green card today, December 21st. I am beyond relieved and wish everyone else going through the worries and anxiety of this process as much patience and positivity as there is. Sometimes, good things happen.

Also , I should add - our case statuses online did not update at all. the I-485 still sits at "interview is scheduled".
