  1. No. After biometrics I noticed Nashville’s AOS was taking a year from biometrics to interview. We were planning on moving to Los Angeles in November, so right after biometrics we’re taken I changed our address to Los Angeles. 1.5 months later we got an interview in Los Angeles field office; we actually had to move up our planned move from November to October because they scheduled it so fast. The officer said they would’ve approved without the interview because our file was good but we were missing the medical…which we weren’t because we handed it over to CBP and they lost it and told no one, so the same day of the interview we went and did another medical and then mailed them the results, they approved a week after the interview.
  2. If you look on the list of visa types that are entitled to an EAD based on the visa status alone, you will see K1 is on this list. This means a long time ago when applications didn’t take months to process, a k1 could come, apply for EAD and work up until the 90th day. They would need to submit another EAD before the 90 days when they do AOS because they K1 EAD cannot be extended or renewed because the K1 status is expired. So you would need to file another EAD application based on AOS status, this is why if you file EAD with AOS, the fee is free, because by the time you get it, you usually get your Green card a few weeks to a month later, which negates the purpose of the EAD because you don’t need it anymore. So long story short: -you can get EAD based off K1 status alone -it will expire the same day your I-94 K1 status expires -it cannot be renewed or extended -the only way to get it before the 90 day k1 status is up, is to expedite it, and then expedite the expedite. -It can go a lot quicker if your fiancé already has biometrics on file from a previous visa or petition, so they don’t need to schedule a biometrics appointment. Our 90 days was up this past weekend, we expedited the second EAD, based off having a current job, when we filed AOS paperwork and it should arrive in the next couple of days.
  3. Medical/Financial reasons. But the EAD was based on K1 status, not on AOS status. So we paid the EAD fee, he got a 3 month EAD, which expires soon. Now we need another EAD for pending AOS, which will be “free.”
  4. Mine was received on March 2nd. Just called my bank today to trace the cashier’s check, and they don’t see it being cashed yet. But hopefully soon. They are a lot slower now than they were early January.
