Hello 

 

just found out my friend and his wife did not have to do an interview during AOS. They did the K1 visa process. Anyone else been that lucky?

How many years ago?

Not even 2  years ago because they have not went to the next step yet. She’s got a 2 year green card. My friend had no clue what I was talking  about When I asked about the interview

Effective May 15th, 2018 the policy changed. Prior to that K1 AOS applicants were usually waived the GC interview. 

Now, nope.

Yup.  Prior to the change no doubt

Thank you so much

USCIS has toyed with the idea of AOS interview waiver several times. We had our AOS interview in November 2012, and got an ROC interview waiver in May 2015. Dodging one interview bullet sounds like a good deal,. Though not sure if there are any advantages to either scenario? 

 

YMMV.
