Screaming crying throwing up - our AOS got approved today! I had pretty much stopped checking, and was getting pretty disheartened because people who had applied after us were being approved. I was at least hoping our EAD would come quickly but we just didn't seem like one of the lucky couples. Just decided to absent mindedly check while on the phone to my parents and nearly gave them a heart attack from my screaming!!! Our timeline was:
Arrived: Oct 25 2022
Married: Nov 25 2022
Package sent: Dec 22, 2022
NOA1: Dec 28, 2022
RFIE: Jan 21, 2023 - so frustrating. Even though we sent the package in before the new form came in, USCIS wanted the new form anyway
Biometrics: Jan 25, 2023
RFIE received: Jan 31, 2023
AOS approved: May 13, 2023
I arrived on a K1 and so had done my medical in July 2022. However our lawyer recommended to redo the medical and send it with the package so we did, since they said otherwise we could get a deficiency notice.
Can't wait to have a break from USCIS again haha, at least for a little while!
