The AOS process

[Ameridien 0]

Does anyone know the steps upon them recieveing your AOS packet to the finish? I heard they will not start your papers until fbi check comes back, and now i hear people getting the interview and waiting for fbi to clear....

No, they do the FBI name check as they process your application.

The steps are pretty much:

1/ You send your application

2/ You receive a NOA (notice of action) AOS, AP,EAD

3/YOu do the biometrics (fingerprints & picture)

4/ You wait until you either receive an appointment letter for interview or get transfered to CSC (california service center)

5/ You go to your interview and they decided if they approve you

or you are approved by CSC without interview

6/ If not yet cleared you have to wait until FBI name check is finished to receive your GC

What type of visa did you apply for?

We did the K-1 route and did not have an interview at all.

We sent in the paperwork, got a biometrics appointment, and got a green card in the mail...all in 5 months time.
