Hello guys, hope everyone is well.  Are there instances where people get approved without going through an interview?  I have heard something like that but I am not sure if this is a possibility.

It appears everyone goes through the interview for AOS now. A couple of years ago they would select randomly who went through the interview (especially for k1 visas....probably because k1s had to provide proof of relationship at the k1 interview). But those days are gone......

Well its been a month since our interview and nothing. No approval on the website or denial. The officer said everything looked good and to look for mail in 30 days. I am assume that is 30 business days so I guess I have a couple more weeks before I should be concerned. I guess I better send in my renewal for my EAD as its up in May next year. I am really really worried and wonder if I am not getting the green card. I would be devastated. I have a super great job that I love and I just got a raise to boot after 4 months. Sigh. I am playing off as nothing is wrong to my husband but I am super scared that maybe I am not getting the green card.

 

People who interviewed just before us and after us have all got their green cards so this is why I worry. I am beginning to think I should have stayed in Canada.

@pajobra, they said it could take up to 120 days, so don’t worry yet, they’ve been having issues with their website and this week was one day shorter for them, don’t give up. I’m sure everything will be fine!

I got my card today! 

 

Be strong, I’m sure you’ll hear from them soon.

It could be that there was a holiday in between the interview and now.....(and one coming up)

Did they ask for anything at the interview? Was the I 864 in order (did he make enough money to support the AOS?) I can’t imagine there would be a lot of scrutiny in your case (You aren’t from a “high fraud” country). Maybe they are just backlogged?

Hello,

Are any other Seattle filers still waiting for their AOS interviews? We haven't heard anything since may when we got the EAD. 

Thanks!

Nope they asked for nothing. All the guy told us after our 15 minute interview was how glad he was that I had all this evidence and that everything looked in order and to look for mail in the next 30 days. I guess I just worry so much. I can't imagine not being with my husband.

Guess I just needed more patience. Thanks for letting me vent the other day. Today I got notice from uscis that my new card was being produced. Oh how the weight has gone from my shoulders.

Had the same exact problem. Reach out to your senator, congressman and also ombudsman. I actually wrote to a couple of senators and co congressman. I got approval message literally the next day after my inquires. 

 

Good luck!

Congrats!!! I'm still waiting to hear about my interview date.  Hopefully, it will be soon. I am applying to renew my EAD/AP this week just in case it takes too long.

Congratulations! I can't imagine how that feels!

 

I decided to check in since it'd been so long and discovered your happy news.

 

Nothing new for us since going to the "waiting for interview" status back in March.

 

Looks like AOS in Phoenix is completely stalled.

Hi!

 

Thanks for letting me know. Did you get a text message or an email? Or was it just a notice in the mail?

 

Good luck with your interview!
