I received a Welcome Letter from the USCIS stating that I was approved and have to wait 3 weeks for the card but surprisingly after 3 days my card is in our mail box. No Rfe, no interview but we waited 340 days.

AOS June 2014 filer here.

Have a nice weekend everyone!

I'll give you LOVE to last for a lifetime.- Bob wub.png

Good feeling for sure to finally have the green card in your hand!! :thumbs:

Now start getting all your bills, deeds, titles, bank accounts and such in both your names, then keep copies over the next two years for when you file ROC.

I've noticed a trend on the AOS timelines, that when an interview is required, the green card is approved quickly, usually at the interview. However, when NO interview is required, the process seems to be close to a year. What gives?!

Hi :)

I guess based on being a March 2015 AOS filer and have read a lot of experiences on my co-filers, there seems to be a gray area on that one. But what I think is, it is based on how busy the local USCIS office is on your state that's why some of us got Interviews quickly and approved right away. It may also consider some factors like the completeness of your AOS paperworks, if you have submitted it on time, if you didn't have any RFE or Request For Evidence at all...correct me if I'm wrong but that's some of the observations that we have on our batch. Regards :)

To OP, congratulations :)
