How long does it take for USCIS to make a decision for AOS?

[Lynxwarden 28]

I'm feeling frustrated. We had our AOS interview for me on the 8th of March - at the end of the interview, the person interviewing us said that he was approving us and that we would be getting the green card within 2 weeks. But since then, nothing.

 

How long does it typically take? My work permit ran out on the 23rd of March and I feel like I'm back to being in limbo again after waiting almost 2 years to crawl out of it since filing in 2019.

I’m not sure honestly. We are in the same boat. I had my interview since February and nothing has changed. We recently contacted the office of a senator to help contact uscis on our behalf. 
It is very frustrating!

I believe it should not take that long, has the online status changed to approved? I would recommend trying to reach out to USCIS any way you can, even Ombudsman.

Sadly no, it just says "Case Is Being Actively Reviewed By USCIS" still. I've thought about maybe trying to call the place we had our interview but I feel like they'd just say "we can't give that information without an appointment" or something

do they even published local field office telephone numbers?

I just looked it up to double check, doesn't look like that's possible which isn't surprising. Still, a girl can hope 😥😪

You can call customer service and ask for a tier 2 officer. They can actually open your file and see where the case is at. 

 

On the bright side, as it has been over 2 years since you filed, so you'll receive a 10 years GC instead of the conditional one.

No.  OP's marriage is less than two years old.

I think you should all hold your horses. For citizenship, USCIS has 120 days from the date of the initial naturalization interview to issue a decision. If the decision is not issued within 120 days of the interview, an applicant may request judicial review.

 

Although not explicitly stated for adjustment of status, I would expect similar time for them to adjudicate your petition. You’re not even at the two month mark, in my unsolicited opinion you’re not yet in a position to demand anything of USCIS.

yeah, they don't even give out appointments without an emergency. I agree though that reaching out to tier two officer will be helpful. Maybe if your EAD/AP is close to expiring that might be enough of an emergency?

I’m in a similar situation, we had our interview March 24, she didn’t say approved and didn’t give me any paper saying RFI etc.. just said she’d look at it later and make a decision.. a week later our file updated to “interview complete, case must be reviewed” and nothing since... it’s soooooo frustrating..

That's actually kind of comforting to hear, it really sucks but I'm glad I'm not alone in this, it's really frustrating

No- those can be renewed free of charge.

Wait, really? I thought those were only free of charge while filing for AOS. Am I mistaken about the renewal process?
