Congrats! Have a happy and safe journey. :thumbs:

How did you manage to bypass the interview? What are the circumstances required for that to occur? My husband and I are still awaiting the interview date as he had his medical more than a week ago in London.

If you're on a CR1/IR1 visa, you can't avoid any interview, the interview for the K1 visa can't be avoided either however K1 have to adjust status in the US and have a second interview - that interview is often "bypassed" by the application being transferred to California service center however there's no recipe to avoid the second interview.

OP, out of curiousity, which address did you send your RFE to?

I sent it to the Po Box 648004, Lee's Summit, MO, that's the address that was on the RFE pink paper they sent to me.

Like moomin clarified, I adjusted from K1 Visa and I am in the US.

Congratulations! That is awesome! We just submitted my husbands AOS Sept 4. Keeping our fingers crossed it goes smooth.

Thank you, good luck :)

Alrighty - What could've been the case is that you got RFE'd and sent the response to that address, then it got transferred/routed to CSC without online status showing or updating. There are a few cases who get RFE'd only to be transferred to CSC shortly thereafter, yet before the they received the RFE response. Anyways, just a question out of curiousity. :)

Congratulations!!!!!! :dance: :dance: :dance:

Hope my AOS Journey will as "easy" as yours :)..

It seems like after a month of receiving EAD people are receiving news from USCIS either an interview or Green card in production. I pray to have the same luck.

I am excited!!!
