What order do the uscis process cases?

I have one of the earliest NOA from our FEB batch but have heard nothing. NO TRANSFER AND NO INTERVIEW.

I am happy for people who are done with this part........cause I don't wish immigration process on anyone.....

I wouldn't be too worried. I have the same NOA1 date as you and I still haven't heard anything either.

Hi,

Had my interview in NY this morning and was approved!

The lady was very nice, asked how we had met, asked where my wife worked, asked me to describe my wife. She looked at my wifes pay stubbs and employmet letter. She spent along time looking at our photos, and chatting with my wife about them. She took the joint bank account info and utilty bills as evidence.

Was slightly nervous when she asked me why I entered on AP when i was on a H1b, but the H1b has expired, she looked puzzled and not happy about this, then it was ok.

She approved me, and knowing i`d traveld recently for work asked if i needed to again soon. I will be traveling for work next week so she said she would try and stamp my passport with the 551. She went and asked her boss and came back with the stamp, stamped the passport and explained what it meant. She told my wife it was very very rare for her to give a stamp. I would be receivning the card in the mail within 60 days, likely to be 2 weeks. Explained the conditions of the green card and that was it.

Completly happy, my visa journey has been 10 years now, since i forst applied for my H1b, so happy to able to live a normal life with my wonderful wife.

cheers

ours is a marriage based K-3 visa AOS. I was thinking it would be processed faster than others.......... guess i was wrong. :crying:

i am seeing people who filed in march getting greencards. Not fair

Some people on here have waited YEARS for their green cards.

You haven't even waited six months which is supposed to be the average wait time according to the USCIS.

JaEnglishGirl, You don't have to be rude....Everyone has greater anticipation to receive their approvals quickly..

neel06, compare K-1 AOS approvals vs. K-3....Most filers with K-1 visa get transferred to CSC and that maybe faster...

I see that you are from CA too. I think maybe cases in CA are going a lot slower, but that's just a guess.

Congratulations.

10 years is a long time. You deserve a medal.

I am wishing you a life time of happiness.

Congrats Peter! So they didn't ask you whether you had worked as a prostitute in the past 10 years or engaged in illegal gambling, whether you had been a nazi, a member of a Communist Party, guilty of genocide, or were planning to overthrow the US government? I thought these questions were standard fare (I recognize some of them from applying for F-1 visas) but now I'm thinking that maybe they had some concerns about my case.

We really are more or less on the same track (not just the same office) I too started my visa journey 10 years ago, and have progressed from F-1 to H-1B and now the GC-- well, still no official approval on the USCIS website but I think I'm pretty close. It will probably get approved 1 day before our second wedding anniversary-- but I'll take it.
