Congratulations Atif,

I think the embassy will send you a packet telling you to get your medical done and police certificate(s)? Not totally sure since I did marriage visa. Your fiancee will need to send you all her copies of the NOAs and paperwork that was submitted to the service center as well as any proof of your relationship. I can tell you the interview will be out 2 months or longer. Good luck and congratulations again.

Mary

Hi all

Hope everyone is doing fine.

I got my k3 visa on 30 sep 2005 and arrived US on 20 dec 2005 .Now i am in the process of preparing the application for AOS. My first question is how soon one should apply for the AOS after arriving US on k3 visa?

My second question is in I-485 part 2 which option i should select? there is no option stating like "i entered as a k3 spouse of a US citizen". instead it gives the option for k1. Should i cross off "h" that is " other basis of eligibility"???? which one will work for me?. any suggestions

thanks for any help in advace :)

univted 11, Congratulations on your approval and welcome to the USA. I researched for you and here is the link on the AOS guide and process. It says that most K3s and K4s start adjusting status as soon or right after their arrival into the states. http://www.visajourney.com/faq/k3k4visa-aos.html

If this link is not helpful I would maybe repost the same questions in the AOS forums as well. Good luck on the remainder of your journey.

In the off topic posts there was more good news to share from Islamabad today. :dance::dance:

Dood Wala's brother is finally off AR and will have his visa in hand within 2 weeks hopefully.

Shonjaved also was blessed with their CR1 case should have visa in hand within weeks.

Good luck to everyone that is waiting and hopefully the embassy will continue to release AR and AP cases. :thumbs:

Also heard they needed visa stickers and that is the holdup.
