AOS from a K-1 Visa - NIE - National Interest Exemption

[HolaHola 15]

Hi, 

 

Just wondering...how many of you were granted a National Interest Exemption K-1 Visa?

Did someone notice any differences in waiting times? (EAD approval etc.)?

 

Thank you.

NIE is for gaining entry into the USA.  Not aware of any NIE for AOS.

Yep. Maybe I expressed myself incorrectly. I was just opening this thread to understand how many K1 - NIE visa holders have applied for the AOS. I hope that the fact we have been granted a NIE, it won't extend our AOS process (?).

I expect you will join the queue in the same fashion just like everyone else
