Hey guys,

We are going to file for AOS (EAD and AP probably too), based on a k1 visa, soon. Just wanted to ask how soon do you get the green card after filing the AOS package.

Please share your experience, if any.

Thanks in advance!

Good luck to everyone.

I can tell you my experience....

I too did a K1 Visa

My husband arrived in the US on 9-30-13

We got legally married on 10-26-13

It took me a while to file the AOS stuff, I'll be honest...We sent it in on 12-30-13

He got his Green Card in the mail on 4-1-14.

He never had to do an interview or anything like that. He just went in and did his biometrics when the appointment was scheduled and that was it! So really, it only took 3 months which was an awesome surprise because the website says that the average wait time is 6-9 months. I think it was quicker because we did the K1 Visa and as you know, immigration is already privy to the beneficiary's information and situation. I think it takes 6-9 months if the person were to be already here in the US on like a visitor visa or a student visa and then they happened to get married to someone, THEN I think that is when it takes forever, because immigration wants you to prove the legitimacy of your relationship. With a K1 Visa, you've already done that. So I think your husband should have it in no time. Good luck!

EAD/AP, up to 90 days. However a GC can take up to a year with current processing times. If you get an interview it will be a lot sooner, if you get a interview waiver letter then up to a year or more.

Removal of Conditions..  TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK

 

Time to reset the tick tock clock again.   Roll my eyes.

 

GC  Conditional date:  05/26/2015

N400.  Application:      02/28/2018       

Biometrics:                    02/22/2018

 

Waiting............    Roll my eyes again :(

What's the quickest Greencard produced for a NPIW recipient?! I haven't seen many who've just had their GC mailed 2-3 months after getting NPIW letter.

05-18-2022: Filed N-400 online. Received online NOA and Biometrics re-use.

06-03-2022: Interview scheduled (online notice).

06-10-2022: Interview letter received via USPS.

Well someone I met at my medical in London received a letter in either June or July and was given her GC in December, so around 5 to 6 months, although I am sure there is an exception to the rule, some will no doubt get it before and as we know some a long time after.

We got an interview waiver and were approved in just over 5 months.

Just looked at your timeline. You mean from filing to Greencard production it was 5 months?

And you received your NPIW letter AND your GC went into "Card Production" on the same day?! How the heck does anyone get that lucky!

Things have slowed down significantly since early 2014. I'm approaching month 11, and it's been just under 7 months since my NPIW letter.

According to USCIS, 9-12 months is the current expectation for processing times, and it seems much further toward the 12 than the 9.

2013 7/15 I-129F sent, 7/18 received Dallas lockbox, 7/22 NOA1, 10/22 NOA2, 11/15 NVC Case Created, 11/20 NVC Shipped, 11/25 Consulate received, 11/28 Packet 3 received/returned, 11/29 Medical, 12/9 Packet 4 received

2014 1/9 Interview - Approved, 1/15 CEAC - Issued, 1/17 Visa in hand, 2/5 POE: LAX, 4/4 Married!, 4/8 AOS/EAD/AP filed, 4/14 NOA1, 5/7 Walk-in biometrics, 5/19 EAD/AP approved (expedited), 5/22 EAD/AP mailed, 5/23 EAD/AP received, 7/29 Interview waiver letter

2015 4/13 AOS approved (no interview), 4/22 Green card received

2017 1/17 I-751 ROC filed (VSC), 1/23 NOA, 2/28 Biometrics

2018 1/31 ROC approved

2020 1/14 N400 filed
