Got notice to go for my AOS interview, but i thought it was meant to take forever? I only filed all my paperwork 3 months ago. Why did i get it so quick? And it didnt say anything about my I-130 being approved, or does that happen at the interview? I filed it concurrently with the I-485.
It says something along the lines of " to check eligibility for this benefit an interview is neccesary" on the interview letter.
What are anybody elses experiences with their AOS interviews?
thanks

Anyway, I can't give you any advice as I filed a K1 and didn't need an I-130, but good luck with your interview, and I hope you get an answer for your questions.

Since you didn't post which office this is we can't check to see if it's
outside the norm. I'm presuming it's definitely for AOS and not for an EAD?
It won't say anything about the I-130.

Something seems odd here. Baltimore say they are processing April 2003 and
VSC has to get involved too. Still, if it really is the AOS interview (and
not just fingerprinting, etc.) then you've hit the jackpot!

With K-3, we filed for K-3 and I-130 concurrently, then, when K-3 was
approved, we filed I-485. Of course, the interview date for the I-130 was
scheduled in Moscow 6 months after my wife came to the USa and we could not
go back there for the interview. It only took 18 months to get an
appointment for Adjustment of status.

It was the AOS interview letter because i got a separate paper with it telling me what to bring to the interview. A week before i got that letter i got another one telling me to go get my fingerprints done. This has only taken 3 months. What is wrong? Maybe because i filed the I-130 at the same time? Maybe because i was pregnant? I came into the country on a visa waiver.
Surely if they didnt think i could file for all this they wouldnt even waste their time giving me an interview? (i hope so).

Ok, here is I have very important question:
since as far as I heard that USCIS sends AOS interview letter just in a simple envelope, it is easy to loose it in junk mail, is that anyway else to find out about interview???
like, what ONLINE CASE STATUS CHECK says? Does it say something like:
"the letter inviting you for AOS interview has been send to you blah-blah-blah"?
whoever got that AOS interview, please, share what your online case status check says for I-130?
thank you

I also filed for AOS with my I130 at the VSC - it got transferred to Baltimore 2 weeks later, and a month after that I got my fingerprint letter and interview date. I sent my paperwork in in November, and my interview date is March 18.
Very efficient! was the nicest surprise yet![Smile](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Is it usual to get your AOS interview before your EAD?
