Hi!

Actually I was trying to gather some info about the waiting times. I am still waiting for my bio and it has been now 105 days since I sent my AOS out. 

I am adjusting from a K1. 

I would like to connect with other people whose AOS is pending.

Are you done with the process?

Any advice?

Thank you a lot!

hi

 

Not sure about the wait times nowadays due to the pandemic. This is what I experienced 2 years ago. For St Louis it was not bad, not sure how it is now, but back then from filing to an actual interview was around 8 months. Honestly not sure what the current times are due to office closures. I am removing conditions currently so hoping to not get an interview but we will see.

 

We didn't experience anything strange. The interview was firm and on point, but there was no hostility or grilling us on the spot.

I was not approved on the spot because some of my paperwork was missing at the time of the interview. The lady said that it was not sent and she will need to request my medical from storage. (Needed to get an extra MMR shot here stateside before doing AOS and sent that in with my AOS, so I assume that was put in storage?) Anyway got approval in 2 weeks after the interview.

 

Also at the time of my interview they were running behind, so we waiting an extra hour past our interview date, but we were there to check in on time. Parking is interesting around there. There are some street parking right around the office, but keep that in mind and arrive a bit early to ensure if you need to park a bit further then you don't need to run

 

Oh and the biometric appointment is in the same building as the interview location, so you will be familiar when/if you need to go to the interview.

 

Are you from St Louis or just the field office is?

Hi, sorry for being late in replying you.

 

Thank you a lot for the precious info. I noticed that you have adjusted status from a K1 visa, like me. Well, USCIS received my package on January 12th but still no news...so I was trying to create a network of people who are in my same situation. Adjusting from a K1 makes me feel better in the sense that at least I have married my husband and I filed for permanent residency with the "official" visa to do so...however, recently, I have started feeling the pressure of being here, hitting the fourth month and having nothing with me other than the NOA1. 

 

That being said, I live in St. Louis:)

Nobody  will ask for your status unless it is for work or DMV. I never have my GC with me, usually a picture on my phone so I would not worry about it. Not sure how long it should take, check out other AOS timelines. It is the same for everybody at the beginning and it is processed at the same place so it would give you some reference.
