Hi guys,
My case was approved just today, no interview. AOS from F1. I submitted July 12th 2021, so it took 2 years and 3 months. I haven't submitted the n400.
It's coming for ever one, just be patient.
The deed should show both name if the property is in Texas. When we bought the house, the deed shows both names even though it was only me who is responsible for the mortgage alone. Both of us were required to show up on closing day, and signed a bunch of papers with both names on them. She has low income and low credit, the going rate would be higher if I add her as a co-borrower.
I follow some facebook group and apparently AOS takes only 2, 3 months nowadays. When I applied for it a few years back, it took 1 year 2 months to get interviewed.
My ROC was submitted July 2021, and there's no update. Received the 48 month extension letter a few weeks back.
Sigh.
You can call them to ask for an Infopass appointment to get the i551 stamp that is available for one year. You can use that stamp in lieu of the green card.
In my experience, they called me back after 2 days I made the request for a callback.
They won't let you in without an appointment, that's for certain. They won't even let you in if you arrive too early. When I was there two weeks ago, there were a lot of people being asked to stay outside until their appointment time.
I got the first stamp last year, and have just renewed it 2 weeks ago. They did call me within 48 hours to schedule an appointment at the field office (Houston, TX). It only took them 15 minutes to verify my case and stamp it. I've been traveling in and out of the country 4 times and each time when I'm back, I always got sent to secondary inspection where they double check if my stamp is legit. They also put a pause on my Global Entry. It's a bit annoying but really not that big of a deal.
