AOS interview question,

[Russel1995 163]

For Minneapolis/st. paul, processing time for AOS is 14.5-24 months.

 

Will our case have to be finished processing before we have the AOS interview? O.O

 

And if yes,  if it takes 24 months to process, would the Green Card be 10 year?

 

Just getting ahead of the process a little, Fiancé has yet to have k1 interview in august.

Your AOS application? Yes it will be processed entirely at the NBC in MO and then sent to your local field office to sit and wait for an interview.

 

And if yes,  if it takes 24 months to process, would the Green Card be 10 years?

Generally K1 AOS applicants dont have to wait as long as the USCIS processing time predictions.

I mean, it depends.  If it takes 24 months to process, chances are, it will be a 10 year card--unless we're talking 23.5 months and AOS is submitted the day after marriage.  OP, if you get approved for the green card more than two years after your marriage date, then yes, it won't be a conditional green card, it will be the 10 year green card.  It's a silver lining.

Sorry to bust your bubble but not how it works.  Marriage date and residency since date are mutually exclusive.  Your resident since date is the day they approve not how long it had been since you submitted

Not sure what you mean. Resident since date is when they approve your green card. Whether it's a 2 year card or a 10 year cards depends on how long you've been married at the time of approval. You submit after you're married, so by definition, if it takes 2+ years to approve it, you will have been married for 2+ years.

Incorrect. Straight from USCIS; https://www.uscis.gov/green-card/after-green-card-granted/conditional-permanent-residence/remove-conditions-permanent-residence-based-marriage:

Quote

Your permanent residence status is conditional if it is based on a marriage that was less than 2 years old on the day you were given permanent residence.

Scenario:

1. OP marries
2. Files AOS asap
3. AOS is approved 24 months later (i.e. after 2 year marriage anniversary)

Thus, USCIS will issue a 10-year Green Card.

Gracias for the information!

 

Hoping it takes 2 years to process, and kind of not. its a win-lose situation.

 

But im seeing someone did say they're usually faster for k1 visa.
