Good luck for all F2A members.

Things are going good and bad on our side. Our priority date is Sept 2, 2010 for F2A. But recently I became a US Citizen and I e-mailed my naturalization certificate to NVC in Oct 12. NVC is still processing it. My spouse is already in the US for five years under F1 visa. We have been waiting for visa over two years. And she has a very tight schedule for consular processing interview as she has only 2-3 weeks during winter break and also her OPT is about to expire. It seems hard to travel to home country and show up to interview so we decided to go for Adjustment of Status. It's safer but definitely longer path at this point of time.

We haven't informed NVC yet about recent AOS application. Waiting times for phone is killing.

PD- September 17 2010.

Good luck. I'm sure you know this, but in case not, spouses of US citizens can do adjustment of status even if they overstay so don't worry about OPT expiring.

I'm curious, why does AOS take longer than consular processing? It was my impression that for most AOS cases, interview isn't even done?

B/c we have just filed AOS and if we hadn't done so she would most likely got an consular proc interview sometime in dec or jan 2013. Based on processing times, AOS would take five months which is march or april.

oh, I naively assumed that you would get your papers soon after filing AOS

you can file for advance parole and EAD in the meantime though right? Isn't that fast?

Why don't you just send a copy of your naturalization certificate along with I-485 of your spouse to USCIS? I don't think you need to email NVC at all since your spouse is already in the US.

I was thinking as a courtesy But I don't want to wait an hour on the phone to do the things I don't have to do.

Yes, we did those, too. Only drawback I can see of this is the time to apply naturalization.
