We checked our mailbox saturday morning, hoping and praying we get our interview letter for our AOS application. We were really not expecting much since Albany is about 4 to 5 months behind the last time we checked, and we were told when we walked-in our application not to expect anything till May. We were thinking about applying for an AP so my wife and I could go to London in early may.
So you can imagine how suprised,shocked,happy,amazed,confused,(insert your own words here, it probably applies :yes:  ) when we opened our box to see 3 separate letters from USCIS. The first was a letter was from Albany, dated in the middle of march informing us that we have been approved for a Permanent resident card and that Vermont will be notifying us later on with more details. The second letter was the notification from vermont,dated a few days after, restating we have been approved and that my wife permanent resident card is on it way. And the third letter, as you might have guessed, was the Permanent resident card.
So to summarize our K1 experience so far, we got our K1 visa in about 6 months, got the permanent resident card in 3 months,with no interview. Total time from the day I dropped the K1 application forms in the mail to the day we got the permanent resident card - 13months. I know this must not be a common experience with everyone in the process, but , I really have not complaints about the USCIS. They have completely exceeded my expectations so far. I just hope they can do the same for more, if not all within the process.
