I have tried reading around this website which I found very helpful on K1 visaissues but am getting a little lost when it comes to trying to understand AOS and AP. So...

1. What length of time on average does it take for the AOS to come through after sending off an application after marriage?

2. With AP - do you have to apply for a specific trip or does this allow multiple trips?

I want to be living with my hubby in the USA but as I work in international health and am finishing off a PhD I will have to travel.....

Can anyone help?

Thanks!

1. There is no average time.... you have to check with your local office to see how long they are taking to process AOS applications.

2. AP allows multiple trips for one year.

AP can be renewed frequently if AOS hasn't happend yet.

AOS could take a faster track (transferred to CSC) or a longer track depending on who reviews the docs and when they review them....nothing set in stone here!

Good luck!

Presumably I can apply for an AOS AND advanced parloe simultaneously? Do you know where I can check to see stats on processing times for both of these?

Thanks

Try the timeline search on your local office

yeah but I do not know what to look under on this timeline.... it's obviously not called AP - do you now what name the form you submit for AP application has?

You have to either apply for both at the same time, or the AP after sending in the AOS -- the reason why you need AP is because you're in the middle of adjusting your status.

Look for AP processing times at your district office under the title "I-131 Application for Travel Documents"
