The AOS meeting came before the EAD and AP which was really surprising, the interview went smoothly (20 to 30 minutes) with the officer confirming some information from the form, looking through the evidence and asking a few questions about our wedding. We were approved on the spot! |

Be sure to arrive early! Everything was quick, officers are very helpful and correct lines are easy to find.
Fiancee waited to be called after getting her documents ready, then had a very easy interview that went smoothly and was over in about 5-10 minutes. She asked:
How long have you known each other?
How many visits?
If she had met petitioner's parents, and
Where will you be staying in the US?
Afterwards, she said everything was all good, and my fiancee received her passport with the K1 visa in about week via mail!

Very easy entry! Fiancee gave herself 5-6 hours before her connecting flight to be sure she wouldn't be late, but she was able to get through customs in about twenty minutes.
Simple process, officer simply asked where she would be staying in the US before reminding her to be married in 90 days and saying "Welcome to the USA, baby!" |

Timeline Comments: 3Congratulations to you both :-)
So happy for you two! It must be amazing to finally be together!
*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
** Not all cases are transfered
