Rather than ok the visa the letter would take a month to deliver which would place the NBI and med exam taken in April within striking range of the 6 month expiration! Med exam and new NBI clearance submitted 2010-11-16. So now wait again for Visa since original interview passed on April 29, 2010!

Adjustment of Status Event Date CIS Office : Honolulu HI Date Filed : 2011-04-19 NOA Date : RFE(s) : Bio. Appt. : AOS Transfer** : Interview Date : Approval / Denial Date : Approved : Yes Got I551 Stamp : Greencard Received: 2011-09-07 Comments : Amazingly after almost a month(one day short) we find a note online when checking why it is taking so long. Apparently the mail was sent to us at a street address. Lucky for us we have no street delivery from the postal service as we live in a rural subdivision. So we list all mail under the "CARE OF" box located right below the street address section on the application for AOS I-485! Yes after spending a thousand dollars so the forms can be processed fast and efficiently we are victim's of the bureaucracy of the inept federal government. I am glad our brave military special operators do NOT work for Incompitano or the Hill. Called and submitted a CHANGE? of Address for our POSTAL BOX so they would not continue with the same mistake! So now we wait again since the online notice stated errors like "WE"? made will only delay our process! How do we get those poorly supervised employee's out of that agency and out of the federal work force? Happened again , mail sent to the wrong address and not to the properly submitted one. Oh well here we go again. Success at the interview in Honolulu, Hawaii the lady agent interviewed us and at that time corrected the address malfunction! She also approved the green card and it was received as expected. HOORAY FINALLY!

*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.
