Today 9/26/13 my wife contacted me and let me know that the NOA2 letter from the USCIS arrived in the mail today. It stated simply "Welcome to the United States". I immediately went to the USCIS site and looked up her status and it said that the new card was mailed to her yesterday, 9/25/13. Hopefully we will get it in the next few days. We started the process on March 29, 2013 and received one RFE for supplemtal medical information on her immunizations.

The whole process has been aggrivating but in the end it is well worth the effort. I now have my asawa here and with a legal presence in the USA.

The AOS filing fees were $1070.00. The supplemental medical for her immunization records was $180.00. So in total it was $1250.00.

Nice!Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!.

How much did it all cost?From AOS to GC?


We filed the AOS petition along with EAD and Advanced Parole on March 29, 2013. We received the letter of approval today 9/26/13. Just shy of 6 months.

Alright! Thanks! I guess average processing time is 6 months. Here's hoping our AOS journey would have the same processing time too.

That is so cool ! Has your wife been in contact since that last contact on the 26th, though?

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.
