I filed I-485 and I-130 AOS from F-1 Student visa; seems like AOS from K visa is quicker process than F-1.

I am not sure if it's true or just I have bad luck waiting. :whistle:

Any comments are welcome.

I don't think the visa you are adjusting from affects your AOS processing time.

Maybe your local office is just very busy and therefore it takes longer to have an interview (I assume you will be called for an interview since you are adjusting from F1).

I adjusted from F1 and it took 86 days.

Good luck!!

Yea, looks like it really depends on the location.

My local office is Miami; they probably have long backlog and I am one of them.

I didn't even get my EAD yet; it's already out of 90 days. and they told me to wait another 30 days.

My husband (B-2 visa) had his interview 7 weeks from filing, green card in hand about 9 weeks after filing. I dont think it matters what kind of visa, it depends on the office.

Your status is now pending Adjustment of Status. It doesn't matter if your F-1 expires, seeing as you are allowed to stay in the US with your AOS application pending. You don't want to leave the US at all without an AP document or they will consider that as an abandonment of your AOS application.
