It is insane. Yay for another Springs filer. :D I am anxious too. I hate feeling like I am in limbo. So glad to be working though. :) I will have to put in my renewal EAD request at the end of November but I expect my interview February or March. I would love it to come earlier but be patient I am trying. haha. 

I see some people whose local offices have a processing time of over a year, just like Denver, receiving interview in 6 months or 8 months so. Like San Diego or Baltimore or Los Angeles. Even for Denver, current processing time is 15.5 months to  21.5 months for family-based AOS. But most people expect to receive the interview in about 12 months to 14 months? It says receipt date for an inquiry is November 2016, but they can't be really processing the cases from November 2016 right now, can they? 

Marriage-based AOS from H1B

(Employer filed H1B extension before I filed AOS with spouse)

4/4/2018: AOS package (I-130, I-485, AP & EAD) sent

8/24/2018: Received combo card in mail

11/19/2018: Interview notice in mail

When did send in your application? We filed for my husband in September and he got his EAD card in December. Hopefully you will get yours soon!!

Hey there. Honestly, processing times seem to have almost no rhyme or reason to them. There are folks on this forum who applied for AOS back in March of 2016 and just got interviews in March 2017. The

Forgot to reply to you and I guess they could be for difficult cases. Just an update. My interview is coming up in Denver for my AOS on November 8th. I filed end of December 2017. :D Super excited cause I really thought I would have to wait a year for the interview.

Great news! I am very happy for you! Another friend of mine who filed last year just had their interview. It seems like it is taking about 10-11 months for most cases. I am expecting mine in February or early March. Thanks for the update!

I got an email update from USCIS's website saying our interview is scheduled too. Haven't received the actual letter yet though. NOA1 was 9/28/18.

Hey!

If you don’t mind, when did you receive the email and when did you receive the actual letter? We got our email today and I’m trying to get an estimate of how long it will take because we’ll be out of town. Thanks!!

Hey! I don't know if this is the right place but I am confused. What are the conditions for a drivers license? And how long is it valid?

I entered the states last week coming from Germany, I already got the Info, that my test will be waived coz of my german dl. But what kind of documents do I need and will the dl be a limited one? My fiance is military, if that does matter. Thank you in advance!

We had our AOS interview on 3/6 (yesterday) with Officer Dana Lindauer. It went pretty smoothly, but he didn't say at the end whether we were approved or not. That evening, our immigration attorney called and let us know she had checked online and the green card is being produced! Woohoo! :dance:

We just brought everything the DMV states on the website to get a driver's license. We didn't get it until about a month or so after immigrating as we were mainly waiting for the Social Security card to be issued. It's basically the same exact thing as a regular license just that it has writing above the picture stating that it can not be used for Federal Identification purposes. She's gotten onto Buckley with the license no problem, so I think its just to prevent voting. 

 

I would also call the License office you plan to go to. We made an appointment at the one in Centennial only to find out they don't process the foreigner licenses, we had to go to the office in Parker.

Thoroughly review your I-485 together because they go over this in detail. Know where each other's family lives, their names, their work. Review your "history" as a couple and know important dates--when you met, when you got engaged, when you got married, birthdays. Be confident. And relax--this isn't nearly as stressful as the consulate interview! If you're in a real relationship, you should be fine. :)
