If you try to adjust her status now then she has to stay in USA until AOS is approved. And risk denial... Did she come to visit you with her lugguage of all her belongings and documents? The officer in the interview might have a hard time believing she came for a visit with all her lifelong documents.

Yes you can try to adjust status from inside usa. You will probably need to cancel the I-130 or something that you already submitted

May 24, 2011 NOA1

Sept 11, 2011 NOA2-took 19 days to get case number

Sept 30, 2011 NVC number and IIN received Friday-gotta wait till Monday

Oct 13, 2011 Case Completed- 13 days from receiving case number Took 32 days from NOA2

Nov 30, 2011 Notified of Interview date

January 19, 2012 Interview- 240 days from NOA1

INTERVIEW RESULTS-APPROVED WITH 14 WEEKS AP--but he got his visa in 56 days!!!!!!

PLEASE EDIT YOUR TIMELINE IN YOUR PROFILE SO OTHERS CAN LEARN HOW LONG EACH STEP TAKES IN THIS PROCESS

That the NVC/embassy will contact you and the non-USC to fill out forms http://www.visajourney.com/examples/NVC_Process_Flowchart_v1-2.pdf

Then an interview will be scheduled once that is all done and hopefully you'll have a CR1 soon after. :thumbs:

It's a lie, really.

Or a very long wait.

NVC takes about 3 months to contact people.

Many people here at VJ, want speed instead, at NVC,

so they read LingChe's NVC Shortcuts in the wiki, and GET Speed when following the shortcuts.

Suggest you study the links that Caly posted, as they are the exact same links I would have posted. (Yay Caly! You Rock ! )

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

-=-=-=-=-=R E A D ! ! !=-=-=-=-=-

Whoa Nelly ! Want NVC Info? see http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/NVC_Process

Congratulations on your approval ! We All Applaud your accomplishment with Most Wonderful Kissies !
