Can you select any field office? I am fling family AOS from H1B.

 

I know my field office is Denver as I am living in CO. But it seems like Denver office takes especially long time, average of 320 according to the stats, until interview. I know all applications are sent first to Chicago, then transferred to each field office. There is a place I enter the field office.

 

The beneficiary is in the United States and will apply for
adjustment of status to that of a lawful permanent resident
at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)
office in:

 

There I selected Denver, but was wondering if you see the stats and select the field office that seems to have shorter processing time. I know this requires traveling, but I might not mind it if I could get approved 100 days sooner... 

 

Or if anybody has experience with Denver office, please share! Thanks!

Hello Koni10,

 

I seriously doubt that you can choose your field office, it is assigned according to your zipcode so there is no way for you to change it unless you move...

Sorry

But your field office is not involved with your case until your case is ready for the interview, when you mail your adjustment of Status package if it is complete, Chicago forwards  to the National benefits Center (NBC) that goes thru your package does all the verification and when its all good  they send it to your field office that handles the interview stage (if needed), very rarely some people get approved without an interview. Thats when the long wait happens depending on how busy the field office is.

 

Good luck
