AOS interview

[Preet 0]

I had concurrently applied for I-130 and AOS. My I-130 was still pending; however I got a letter in the mail for an AOS interview.

So I just had my interview for AOS yesterday. The lady was pleasant and didn’t ask too many questions to me (intending immigrant), and made small talk with my wife instead (petitioner). She started at top of my file and as she kept going thru it, asked me for a few originals, employment letters, pay-stubs etc. She also looked at my wife’s and my passport, my EAD and proof of joint assets. She did keep my I-94.

She told us out right that she will approve this petition, however they are still waiting on one last back ground check to clear and as soon as that happens, they will mail me the approval.

Later in the evening I got an email from USCIS, saying that my I-130 was approved and as of April 2nd they have mailed me the approval notice. April 2nd is the same date as that of my interview. Does this mean anything? This background check that the lady referred to was it just the “standard line” and she said that only because the I-130 was still pending?

Or maybe I am just reading too much into all this...

Name checks are quite routine for I-485, and it happens often for AOS to be approved pending final name checks.

Also your profile shows CR-1/IR-1 which has NO AOS those visas are green-card visas you get LPR status upon entry to the USA, yet you are talking about AOS which is a process from a NON-Immigrant visa like K-1 or K-3.

You may want to change profile to show Filed for: AOS-Pending, or AOS Approved. http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...rCP&CODE=01
