AOS Approval Without Interview?

[DariusCole 0]

Yesterday I received an I-797 Notice Of Action, which starts with "Welcome To The United States Of America".

It goes on to state that the application to adjust permanent status has been approved. Further down it states that they will soon mail out a new Permanent Resident Card which we should recieve in 3 weeks.

However, we never went through an interview, just the biometrics. I did a search and haven't seen any new threads on this subject for almost two years (perhaps I didn't look hard enough?) Do we really not have to go through the interview now?

It's not a fluke, because I recieved the same letter for my wifes son (K-2). We filed around the last week of July, before the rate increase took place - could the flood of applicants have anything to do with that? Very odd - of course, I am not complaining in the least!

Anyone else have any experiences like this?

It's not a fluke - happens often - ours (and now you too) is just one of many examples..

Celebrate! Yep, people can get approved without an interview. My husband did.

Most people who are approved without an interview have their cases transfered to the California Service Center. They get a letter stating this (usually!) before the actual approval. If you search in VJ for "CSC Transfer" You will find lots of other people who were approved without an interview.

Congratulations!

Yes, we did get the letter stating that our case was transferred to the California Service Center a while back. . .

What criteria do they use to determine the need for an interview?

If you live in California, are all the AOS transferred to the California Service Center?

Of those transferred, what percentage are scheduled for interview versus no interview?

:praying: get transfered to the CSC, get transfered to CSC

congrats on your approval!!! B)
