Title: green card Post by: Apk1 on September 29, 2002, 04:00:00 AM My wife and son recieved thier green cards today, it was interesting to note that it arrived on our one year anniversary of her POE.
We had our AOS interview 2 weeks ago, and were told to expect the green card withen 6 months. We celebrated tonight with a rare romantic evening alone...both of us could not be happier. Good luck to those that are going through this "process", it appears that once your fiance is here...the paperwork goes a little faster than it used to. I remember looking at the time line for AOS almost a year ago, and it was an 18 month wait through San Francisco INS office...for us it was a rather quick 7 months start to finish. My time line to date: submit petition= 6/20/01 Good luck everyone!

You didn't file AOS paperwork until ~5 months after she arrived? I know that you must marry in 90 days but I wonder how long one could wait to file the AOS paperwork after mariage. BTW, my wife got her greencard about a year after filing through the Indaianapolis office as of this summer. -Bill Title: Re: Question about AOS Post by: Apk1 on September 29, 2002, 04:00:00 AM ... in response to Question about AOS, posted by Bill P on Sep 29, 2002
INS allows up to 6 months after marriage to file AOS. We were married 2 months after she arrived, and finely filed AOS 3 months after that. Title: File It ASAP Post by: SteveM on September 30, 2002, 04:00:00 AM ... in response to Re: Question about AOS, posted by Apk1 on Sep 29, 2002
There is still a benefit to filing quickly--you speed up the clock on getting adjusted and being eligible to apply for citizenship. The advice about hand-carrying the marriage certificate is correct; that is the single thing with the greatest potential for causing delays. |
