Hi All 

Has anyone else experienced a long delay with the AOS process?

Little background. I originally filed my AOS back in Dec. 2017 and received an RFE and the USCIS received my response within a week. 2.24.2017. Now, I've been waiting and waiting and nothing. My husband received the Bio-metrics already and he's received the work permit back in May 2018. We have called, requested info and we have shown up at the Field office by our home and no solid responses.  The field office mentioned they we going to "start looking at our case file 1.5.2018 " and nothing yet. How long does it really take for them to process our paper work? I'm afraid it can be lost. We called USCIS yesterday 1.21.2018 to get an update and again the rep sounded like a robot reading a from a script.  I hope i'm not the only one going through this, It's coming on a year now in 2 days since they received the RFE and nothing.  any advice on what else we can do for our case?

 

Thanks

My AOS was finally approved last week.


We filed early January 2017, so took over 14 months to be approved.

 

Sucks, but you hopefully shouldn't have much longer to wait :)
