Welp.... guess what came in the mail.
 
our receipt for all our AOS stuff dated BEFORE the rejection letters.
 
tight hand doesn’t have a clue what the left is doing!
 
Still going to follow the advice of @Wuozopo and the other fine folks who helped me in such great detail.
 
Also said his biometrics letter is on the way.
 
This process tests your sanity, for sure.
 
Thanks and love to you all.

May the 4th be with us! Haha, yes! I can use this with SERIOUS context now! 

Hiya, K1 May filer here. Been married for a week and ready to submit our AOS. Just gotta print everything out, so most likely will have it prepared and sent out on the upcoming Monday.

Same, May 4th - here in Illinois. 

Same as me. Received the hardcopies today (April 20) and biometrics on May 4th which is our 6th year anniversary as a couple. Haha May the fourth be with us!

Received hard copy notices today, with my biometrics appointment set for May 4th.
 
Waiting for these bad boys....are torture!

Finally! We received our NOAs for the EAD, AP & AOS on Wednesday and Biometrics appt scheduled for 2 weeks from now. Fingers crossed the AP doesn't take as long as the timeline estimates. Would be great if she's got it before end of July.  Anyway, just excited to share. 

Just found this thread, coming over from June 2017 K-1 filers. My new home!
 
I received email & SMS confirm on the 18th, Case status on USCIS case tracker has April 6 as received date and waiting on NOA1 to arrive in mail. Saw my check was cleared from my bank yesterday (19th), I placed it in the mail on the 4th. 
 
Hello my fellow April AOSholes!
 

Hey everyone, I just received the e-notifications (by email and text message) this morning and the check was cashed today too. - They received the package last Tuesday, April 10th. That was quick!
Hopefully the combo package will come quickly too for us all. Good luck everyone, we keep in touch for next steps!

Sent my AOS/EAD/AP on March 30th and I have just received my 3 notifications (April 17th)
 
Is it just me or is the wait excruciating? Haha!
 
Im an emergancy advanced parole applicant so fingers crossed everything from here goes smooth. 
 
Good luck everyone! 

Hi everyone  -  My hubby filing AOS this month to adjust from K1.   Happy to find this forum so I can see everyone’s progress.  I have looked through the prior month threads to get an idea of whether all K1s are getting interviewed given the new policy from Sept. that
employment-based AOS were to be interviewed. My impression from older timelines was that not all but most K1s were interviewed. Seems like Interviewing all employment plus K1s and others might slow down the process if before some were not getting interviews. Looked at Oct. filers (month after policy change) but are not necessarily at that point yet, so it is hard to tell if there is any change for K1, except of course that adding employment may slow the process. Looked also at timelines but not sure if some people simply didn’t put interview date on it.  Curious if anyone has any insight on that.  Hoping it doesn’t slow the process if they are adding all these interviews to queue!!!!!
 

That is something very personal to the couple - I (the immigrant) would have been very upset if my husband had that attitude. I have lived independently my entire life, spent years gaining advanced degrees to further my career, always made my own money and have a passion for what I do. So one of my first priorities was getting a job in my field. Otherwise I don't think I could have settled here. Took me about 3 months of full time job searching (started about 2 months before the EAD arrived).

MY INTERVIEW APRIL 16 EXPERIENCE
 
Hi guys! I just want to share my interview experience yesterday and hopefully it helps in you preparation in your upcoming interview! Good luck! 
 
My interview was scheduled at 8:00am, I arrived 25 mins early. I was checked in and called by the officer around 7:50am. 
Documents I brought with me
- Interview Letter
- Green Card/ Driver's License
- Passport (expired and renewed)
- Husband's birth cert & passport
- Updated form of recent travels
- Marriage certificate
- IRS we filled joint
I  brought the original &photocopied them as well
 
Documents that the officer asked
- Interview Letter
- Green Card/ Driver's License
- IRS tax that we filled joint
 
I started with the English test and just have to read 1 sentence and then write the sentence he asked me to write. That was it! I then proceed to the CIVIC questions. They gave me this red booklet about the 100 questions to study for Naturalization when I did my biometrics. Everything is on the booklet.  The officer probably asked me 10 questions total. Like how many supreme court justice? What does declaration of the independence entails? Give me one branch of the government? etc. I got them all right. Then we proceed to the next part of the interview...
 
So, Its kinda like adjustment of status interview but w/o my husband. lol. I was asked about our relationship. Me and my husband are together for 4 years and no kids yet. He asked me like maybe 5 times if I have kids. I said "we don't have kids" and I" don't have kids". So he asked for more evidence. Health insurance, bank accounts, life insurance etc. But I didn't bring any with me. Luckily I brought the IRS tax we filled joint 2014-2016  with me so I gave it to him. So that kinda stopped him and then he write notes in his computer. I was then asked about the yes or no questions in the N-400 form that we filled up and questions about pledging loyalty to the United States. I also wanted to point out that the officer also asked me if I have arrested or had any traffic violations. So I kinda paused because I just had a recent one, its obstruction of control/vision. From holding my phone! lol. Anyway I told him that I went to court and pay the fees so I wont get the points. Its my 1st ever ticket. So he put that in his computer again. Kinda freak me out because I thought its gonna be the only reason that I wont be approved. The officer is nice and professional. After that, I was asked to review infos he typed in his computer in this IPAD and signed couple pages. And then he told me Congratulations! I will send recommendation in your case for approval ! He congratulate me 3 times. Yeyyy!!
 
I just checked my status online when I woke up today and it says 
 
We approved your application
Your final step to becoming a citizen is to attend your naturalization ceremony
We will mail you a letter when we schedule your naturalization ceremony.
 
I'm over the moon. I'm gonna kissed the USCIS good bye soon. Over all it was a smooth process. Our field office here is very organize and not so busy. I wont be able to complete this journey w/o my VisaJourney family my no.1 source of information  . 
Let me know guys if you have more questions. Good luck to everyone!!!  

Us too, tonight but only for 485 and 765
 
aos and ead, I think

Surprisingly, I received 3 text messages tonights with new receipt #'s for each petition. Now, for the AOS petition, it's listed as "Fingerprint fee was recieved" vs. "Case was received".
 
Anyone else who has received their NOA1s see the same on the USCIS site?

Please correct me if I'm wrong anyone, but I think it depends on the county, or city you're getting married in. 
 
I wasn't able to obtain my marriage certificate until 2 weeks after the wedding date. And I filed two weeks later that after obtaining all the necessary documents, and forms. 

Based on all the comments my husband has made about the DMV, I'm bracing myself for the worst customer service lol.

OK! I'll keep an eye out for the notifications! I am checking both app and site, but I wasn't sure of the WAC# we were assigned still applied.
 
Thanks!

When we sent AOS, EAD, AP we attached G-1145. And then we received 3 notification NOA1 on the text and email.
5 days later we received Hard copy of all of them on the mailbox.  

I assumed the medical for the K1 visa was a part of this application, or would still show in our immigration records but the process for it is different. The I-864 form needs to be completed, stamped and sealed by a civil surgeon here in the States. 
 
So what you received for the K-1 does not qualify for the AOS process, as that would have been verified by a physician outside of the US.
 
Hope that makes sense. 

helloooo everyone! I arrived in the US mid Feb (on a K1) and got married early March, so it's about time I filed for AOS! I got the forms 95% completed and I'm compiling a list of final questions to ask here before finishing everything. wife still has to file her taxes (hopefully today) and we'll send everything
 
good luck everyone!!
