Yeah, I'm pretty blown away by how fast it has gone. Portland is a quicker office (according to stats on the USCIS for average wait times), so that might have something to do with it.

Those of you who have either been scheduled for interview or gotten approved. Could you please tell me if you are removing conditions from CR1 or CR6? CR1 is for those who moved to the USA with immigrant visa while CR6 was issued to those who came on non-immigrant visa and then adjusted status. I am trying to find a trend here. Thank you

We are a CR-1

Thank you, it does seem like CR1 is getting scheduled for interviews as someone earlier observed. Mine is CR6, I hope we get updates soon 

 

Wow, some of you are going really fast!

 

 

I am a CR6, and I haven’t heard anything since case received.

 

However, when we did AoS, we were observed, too. Just hoping that this doesn’t take too long, and why should there be such a big difference.

Seems like it depends on your local office as well as your processing center. Which center did your case go to?

I got the WAC receipt as well. It means it is getting processed in California service center. No update since the NOA since April.

Hello! We are also at EAC for processing. My husband did his biometrics on June 4 and it's been crickets since then. We have the same online status as you. 

 

Hubby arrived on a K-1 and AOS took nearly 17 months. At that time, we were living in Minneapolis, but relocated to DC last year. I was hoping ROC would move faster in our new location, but not holding my breath at this point.
