Nebraska then sent to California Service Center is so slow! Things move much faster at NVC and Kiev Embassy. Scheduled for interview Feb 21, then received email 2 days prior cancelling it saying that due to unforseen circumstances with embassy construction or security, your interview has been rescheduled to March 13, 2007. More delays by Grand old USA government. Interview was piece of cake, she got to be let in early since she was K1(so the man outside told her), waited about hour or so then went to window gave documents then waited another hour and then man in room interviewed her, only asked two questions - "How we met" and "when do you plan to leave after you get K1". Then he told her to go to courier and pay for service and he took her passport and papers. She is fluent in English so she interviewed in English, and applied in English so it went fast. She asked them is that all, and man said yes. And she asked do I get my K1 and he smiled and said yes congratulations. She asked about getting copies of her medical records and vaccinations made, he agreed to let her but she would have to come back in again and reapply that same day so she did not and went on, we will deal with it later in USA somehow, all that is supposed to be in that sealed brown envelope she gives to POE officer who is supposed to send on in to Chicago office so we shall see later this summer.
MARCH 13, 2007 - K1 GRANTED by Kiev Embassy at 9 am. :) Received by FEDEX March 21, 2007 - Passport with K1 visa stamp and brown envelope and instructions. |

AOS application Case transferred to California Service Center on October 17, 2007.
AOS GREEN CARD approved November 21, 2007 without any interview, no I551 Stamp, card production to be completed and mailed within 60 days! We did not file for AP or EAD, total waste of time and money for they arrive at about the same time as Green Card! |

Took 113 days or about 3.76 month this time, much longer than the 2 yr GC wait. No rhyme or reason, even went in early 2 weeks to take biometric. Just slow in processing at CSC now for some reason, more of the same process or documents from last time 2 yrs ago for 2 yr GC, remember to keep all your documents with each spouse name on it so you can send it in 2 yrs later for the 10 yr GC. |

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
