Hi, my personal feeling is that it highly depends on your field office workload + many other unknown stuffs.

You can check the "Immigration timelines"section on top of Visa journey we site , then choose "AOS", then select your field office,  and you will find a processing timelines of your local field office. I personally feel that this timelines are accurate.

Like my field office in San Bernadino, cases are proceeded generally from 3-6months.

Good luck!

Thanks! My field office is San Antonio so looking at about 8 months.

Just got my biometrics appointment in the mail.

Hello,

I am adjusting from F1,and here is my timeline:

07/05/2017 USCIS received my response of RFIE

08/31/2017 Interview is scheduled 

                   (Interestingly, On the Notice of interview, it indicates that the letter was sent on 08/25/2017, but the  

                   online case status changed to " interview is scheduled" on 08/31/2017, which was the same date I

                    received the letter! )

09/29/2017 Interview date

 

Good Luck everyone!:)

Is this an out of the ordinary super quick turn around or are processing times just great right now? 
I was expecting/heard on the grapevine that it was generally a year before an interview!

I filed using the old form, I don't remember seeing anything about the DS-2019 on the old form or the instructions for it. Out of all of that, the only thing I am missing is the DS-2019. I hope I don't get an RFE either, but even if I do, it's just a matter of sending in the missing form right?

Yeah, you would just have to send the DS-2019 form in. It will likely delay the process a little though.

Hi guys!

 

Filing for AOS from J-1 (with no 2 year residency requirement luckily). Received our NOA1 on the 15th! Didn't even think to include the DS-2019 in the packet though, will that just require a quick RFE does anyone know?

 

Thanks!

Did you use the new I-485 form? It specifically asks for all documentation regarding J1 visa, including DS-2019, in the instructions. I don't think the older I-485 form was as clear on this though... It was this newer form that made me realise my own J1 home residency waiver issues! Hopefully, you don't get a RFE. 

" 13. Documentation Regarding J-1 or J-2 Exchange Visitor Status
If you previously held or currently hold J-1 (principal) or J-2 (dependent) nonimmigrant exchange visitor status,
you must submit copies of all relevant Forms IAP-66 and/or Forms DS-2019, Certificate of Eligibility for Exchange
Visitor (J-1) Status, ever issued to you (if available). You must also submit copies of all available J-1 or J-2
nonimmigrant visas issued to you, and copies of all available Form I-94 and passport pages with entry stamps
showing your admission to the United States in J-1 or J-2 status.
In addition, if your J status made you subject to the 2-year foreign residence requirement of INA section 212(e), you
must submit documentation to show that you complied with the foreign residence requirement, have been granted a
waiver of the requirement before filing Form I-485, or were issued a favorable waiver recommendation letter from
DOS before filing Form I-485. You can show you complied with the requirement by submitting evidence to prove
you resided in the appropriate home country for at least two years since your exchange visitor program ended. For
information about waiver of the requirement, see the Instructions for Form I-612, Application for Waiver of the
Foreign Residence Requirement."

First post for me!

F1 AOS spousal filer. Had to apply for J1 home residency waiver which was approved last week.

I have now sent in all of my AOS documents including EAD and AP.

Recieved confirmation that it arrived at the Chicago Lockbox yesterday - 08/14/2017.

I did all my of my applications myself so fingers crossed that I did everything right and that everything runs smoothly.
Looking for other recent F1 filers to gauge what current USCIS processing times are looking like and also to help answer other peoples questions about this exhausting process!
