Hi members! How long does it take to get EAD and Green card ( conditional) after doing biometrics basing on k1 visa Adjustment of Status ? Thanks a lot

You can check I765, I131 and I485 timelines on the processing times website.

They fluctuate often so you'll have to keep monitoring them. 

 

Both I765 and I131 are processed at the National Benefits Center (so you'll select that on the drop down menu when you check). I765 and I131 have separate timelines however they will usually come as a Combo Card, provided you filed them at the same time and provided you didn't expedite either of them. So because they are separate, you'll be expecting your Combo Card to take the longer of the two timelines. 

 

I485 is previewed for completeness at the National Benefits Center but is transferred to your local field office to await your interview so you'll select your local field office on the website. 

 

Don't know which one is your local field office to check your I485. No, it has nothing to do with where you did biometrics. 

Scroll to the bottom HERE to the Field Office Locator and enter your zip code as your local field office determination is based on zip code not city. 

 

The Estimated Processing Times website is THE most important website you will ever need for your process. LEARNING how to use it is important. 

Save it and you can monitor your estimated processing timelines up until you become a citizen:

PS. Seriously:

We filed for AOS in Feb. 2021, got bio 5 months later.  And EAD/AP soon after.  Now it's been a year without any change until this week.  Just an auto-renewal of the EAD/AP card being sent out.  No news on an interview for AOS yet.  Over 500 days since filing.  If you are in a smaller city, then you may have better luck than we have had though.

OK, so I need to update this.  wow, it turns out the new card wasn't an auto-renewal for EAD/AP.  It was the 2 year Green card!!!  So this big part of our journey has come to an end, and we didn't ever have an AOS interview.  Maybe others will be so lucky!  Good luck to you!

I’ve learned it varies greatly. We are in Los Angeles & (EAD) it took 27 days after filing. We were definitely expecting it to be 5+ months. Other members in the July AOS group have had their EADs approved quickly as well.
