December 2019 - AOS Filers

[Mekusa 6]

Hi guys. I had my k1 AOS interview since February 24th 2021 and till today my case hasn’t changed when last I checked online. I have been very worried as this delay doesn’t seem normal (assuming a case was without fault). I’m freaking out and unsure of the outcome of this delay to make a decision on my case. I read uscis can deny cases without asking for RFE (that’s scary). Much more I’m freaking out cos my EAD expires in 2 months and I didn’t filed for renewal with the hope of passing my interview. I called uscis today and was told a decision hasn’t been made yet.  I don’t know what to do. Should I go ahead and apply for EAD renewal in case my AOS gets denied? Is this normal to have no case update after 2 weeks of interview?

Thanks guys.

They technically have 120 days to give a decision. Go ahead and file to renew your EAD.

This by no means an abnormal delay. You should apply for the EAD extension though.

Thanks Ayrton and Mike. I sent out the extension documents today. I think I feel better now lol.

It took over a month before they processed mine after the interview, a lot of IO dont have authority to give a decision, they have to put it in a pile for a supervisor to approve. If there were no problems at the interview then i expect you`ll be approved before too long.

It's been one year and one month since "Case is ready to be scheduled..." and no progress whatsoever. Filed for EAD/Travel doc extension a month ago and didn't hear from them (no I-797). In a normal scenario this wouldn't bother me, but several months ago my mother was diagnosed with stage IV cancer with brain metastases. I applied to expedite the process, but it's like hitting the wall. I sent USCIS multiple emails, but there was no response. Tried calling USCIS and this new system makes it impossible to speak to a human service agent. Can someone please recommend steps to take? Thanks.

Approved last week!  Interview went smoothly and the officer was very professional. The officer did not outright say it was approved during the interview but implied it was, and the status after the interview immediately changed to “Card is being produced” followed by “Approved” the next day. 
 

Our case was transferred from DC to NJ office (Newark) after we moved last year. Not certain how much delay that added to the interview but I assume it did a bit.

We had our AOS interview on Apr 22.  The original interview date was Feb 18 but because of the winter storm we had here in Texas it was cancelled. Our interview went smooth.  We were both in the office with our daughter.  The interviewer asked us the normal questions which was basically on our application.  I gave her some additional documents.  She basically gave us the green light at the end of the interview but said she is not the approving authority.  The next day our status changed to "new card being produced" and today on 29 Apr my wife received her Permanent Resident card.  It expires in 2 years.  I was reading what need to be done to lift the conditions.  I will be doing that by next year.

keep in mind you can only file to lift conditions 90 days or less before the 2 years is up on the conditional green card.

Any ideas why it took so long? Did you have any issues or RFE after your interview?

Nope there were no issues, no RFE we just didnt get any updates whatsoever which was nervewrecking since most people get theirs the next day or within a week. But it did eventually updated and it all went good! I hope yours does too

hello, dear December CO-Filers 

 

I hope that you are all good and have gotten your appointments and that they went well.

I got mine on Dec 17th, my green card got home on Dec 24th.

I was told I needed to  remove limitations, do you know when am I supposed to do this?

 

Thank you, and have a happy 4th of July

Congrats!

You may file for ROC 90 days before your green card expires. Make sure to continue to gather evidence of bona fide marriage until then. You will need to submit evidence since the date of your marriage. https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-751instr.pdf
