Only had the EAD a week before our AOS interview. A complete waste of time and effort since a green card supersedes a EAD. |

So much for the 10 minute AOS interview other people have been raving about with a K-1! Interview was hell!
We arrived at 9:45 for our 10:15 interview, didn't get called until 11:45. Our adjudicator was young and somewhat inexperienced and NIT-PICKED almost every document! We were very prepared, had copies and orginals of every document, to the point he said he was impressed. Despite that, he found several "problems"...
1)POE was Los Angeles, yet I-94 stated Toronto (had to explain to him that US Customs check is on the Canadian side, not the US side).
2)No grounds for wife legally using my last name (as if he'd never seen a California marriage license before! I actually had to explain it to him!)
3)Improper immunizations...dash instead of a check mark on the form (Are you serious? I had to point our that the USCIS-appointed Civil Surgeon had signed off on my wife's immunizations. What possible problem could there be?! He was actually going to deny her on this point! What a punk!)
4) Joint bank statement had lots of transations, but balances were redacted. (I blacked them out since I was only using income to qualify. Therefore, account balances are not USCIS's business. Nevertheless, I let it go and gave him the original statement to photocopy.)
5) No photos of our parents at the wedding. (Like we rented some wedding clothes and got strangers to stand behind us to make it look like we'd gotten married. Please.)
Interview was about 1.5 hours and the adjudicator's supervisor apparently overruled him on several items...thank god! Overall, a totally draining experience.

*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.
