Is AOS denial common?

[MariaElizabeth92 5]

Moved to US 11th September. Married 1st November. Currently going through AOS process. Sent all evidence early September, however have been sent letter requesting further evidence (due to fact that we supplied form I864A for joint sponsor, not form I864). In the process of redoing forms etc.

My question is, how many people are denied AOS after being approved the K1 visa. Me and my husband have a very solid relationship and marriage, solidified mainly by the fact that we have a son together. My son, though born in the UK, obtained US citizenship at birth.

There are no holes in our relationship and we did not break the terms of the K1 visa. I am not particularly worried about the AOS either, but it has been such a lonjustaunting, and expensive process, that I am beginning to become a little nervous. Is denial of AOS rare, or does it happen often? And does a child together affect the decision? Our son is 9 months old. I fell pregnant only a few months after applying for the K1 visa, but he was 3 months premature (on paper it seems like we only applied for a marriage visa because of a pregnancy!)

My husband recently finished his contract with the US Army and enrolled in college. From being in the army he receives a GI bill. His schooling is paisd for, alongside his books, and he receives $1050 per month BAH.he also receives grants every term. The amounts vary. On top of this, we both have savings. We have been temporarily living with his parents who are acting as joint sponsors, collectively making far more than the 125% poverty line needed. Would it help our case if my husband was to take up a part time job? He was working, but quit to spend the summer in the UK to help me with our son. We saved enough money so that he could spend his time away from school with me and our son when we arrived in the US.

I am just rambling on with my concerns, but do you think our case looks to have a positive outcome? Thanks!

As far as I know, there are very few denials when adjusting from a K-1. I am not sure why you are worried about a denial if you have a qualifying joint sponsor. If you now sent all the correct forms and required supporting documentation for a joint sponsor when responding to the RFE, then I do not think there is anything to worry about.

In the absence of negative factors, AoS is usually granted as a a matter of course, although it is technically a discretionary benefit.

Thanks for your the replies! I am not worried that our case will be denied, just curious as to how common a denial is. Thanks though!
