Processing times fluctuate, and VJ 'data' is only as good as reported by members.

 

All AP/EAD applications are processed nationally through NBC (vs in local offices).  You will have your biometrics done locally however.

It should also be noted that not all AOS filers will have an interview.

We filed mid November 2016. She got her combo card in Febuary and green card April 7, 2016, with no interview.

That did happen, but not now, things could change but seems unlikely.

Ok now here's a question: If the AOS takes over a year to process, are the applicants required to have another physical exam again, even though they applied for AOS within a year of theirs at the embassy?

Nowadays all K-1ers get an AOS interview. Think it's been like that for a year already.

Hi there, 

 

My fiance and I recently had our initial application approved and we await details of the interview in London. Our minds have thus turned to the logistics of how we're going to manage the process in between my arrival and receiving work authorisation. The waiting times look pretty daunting but they seem to differ from one USCIS center to another. I note that the guidance on the USCIS office stipulates submitting to the Chicago lockbox. Does this mean such applications are processed in Illinois? Or are they then sent to a centre local, appropriate to the residency of the sponsor (in our case New York). In short, we're trying to get a handle on how long our wait might be by means of predicting which center my application will be processed. 

 

Any help/guidance appreciated. 

 

Thanks

I'm waiting for our AOS, EAD/AP right now. Here is my timeline:

• August 27, 2019: Husband arrived in the US from UK 
• October 5, 2019: Married 
• October 8, 2019: Sent AOS in mail 
• November 11, 2019: Biometrics appointment 
• December 5, 2019: Received RFE on AOS 
• December 18, 2019: USCIS received our response to RFE 
• February 11, 2020: AP case was approved

We are still waiting for EAD and AOS. I'm hoping the AP and EAD come in as a combo card and soon. The wait sucks lol.

That really sucks, I'm sorry. What was the RFE regarding, if you don't mind my asking?

The RFE was about income. My tax transcripts only showed my income from July to December since that's when I was hired. I had my employer write up an updated letter of employment with my annual income.

I see. So they ask for income details from your home country during the AOS process?

Yes. And the minimum income requirement goes up to 125% above the poverty line instead of 100% above poverty line.

So, this is news to me. 

To clarify, they wanted proof of earnings for the year before you came to the US from your former UK employer?

I'm from the US. My husband came here from the UK. For tax purposes, you have to report his income for the tax year. Once your k-1 gets approved and the beneficiary moves to the US, the k-1 is at that point done and then you move onto the AOS to adjust to permanent resident after you marry.

I see! That makes more sense.
