i haven't sent in my AOS yet, i will be doing that in the next 2 weeks or so. i have been reading into this more and more and i have two questions.

first off, is it uncommon for K1 Visa people to apply for AP while they are waiting for their adjustment of status? and how long does it usually take to be approved?

secondly, i looked up the processing timelines for the AOS. the government website (https://egov.immigration.gov/cris/jsps/officeProcesstimes.jsp?selectedOffice=18) says that in Chicago they are currently processing cases recieved in November 2004. IS THIS FOR REAL? is the wait that long? does it really take a year and a half to get your green card?

oh and, does everyone file in Chicago for this? i am not sure.

thank you in advance for any advice/comments.

take care.

K1 visa

K1 Visa process took about 1 year, got married on January 13, 2006.

Got my green card on October 5, 2006.

November 1, 2008: Received NOA

Januar 13, 2009: Biometrics appointment in Buffalo

May 2009: Notice of case transfered to California

August 3, 2009: received RFE letter; sent in evidence 2 weeks later, USCIS confirmed reception

March 03, 2010: Filed form DHS-7001 with CIS Ombudsman, and contacted my local Congresswoman to try to get my case pushed through.

June 5, 2010: Letter from CIS Ombudsman telling me USCIS is not ready for a decision yet. They didn't give me a timeline for when to expect a decision... this is getting worst...

August 2, 2010: Infopass appointment for I-155 stamp in my passport. Agent who helped me is going to get my file from California and process it himself!

August 10, 2010: Email from my Congresswoman's office, USCIS still not ready for a decision, told to wait another 90 days. And email from agent at local office telling me that his request to get my file was denied by California...

Yup, the wait is that long. Get your AP.

DOn't check Chicago unless you live there though - check your district office.

aah ok. i wasn't sure where that was filed, to be honest. i thought everyone filed in chicago.

so one's district office is determined by which is closest to you? that is reassuring. looking at Pittsburgh, they are processing August 2005. i like the sound of that.

cheers!
