San Francisco AOS Update
Hi All,
So, here's some suprising news. My wife and I applied for AOS in late July. She went this week for her EAD/AP and to get fingerprints. BTW, she was really impressed with the Infopass system that they're using in San Fran. It was much better than her experiences as a drop-in. In any case, today we got a letter from the INS saying that we have an AOS interview in 3 weeks. Now if you're following the timeline, that's only 3 months from the time we filed!
I know that there was a post earlier suggesting that the timelines were faster than what was posted on the INS website, but I NEVER expected this. If all goes well, we'll get approved by the end of the month. I guess that explains the expiration on her AP (only valid for 3.5 months).
Anyways, I wanted to share the news. Wish us luck!

Best of luck with your interview and please post your experiences. We'll be heading in shortly after you and I'd really appreciate any insights you can provide.

Re: San Francisco AOS Update
Thanks to all for the congratulations. I'll be sure to keep you posted on our interview experience. BTW, our notice says the interview is going to be videotaped. Either way, we're looking forward to it.
I'll be posting back with interview details in a few weeks. Take care, and good luck to the rest of you.

other post about applying for my SSN today!). This sounds great!

CSC adjudicates visa petitions, etc.. You get an interview for a visa
application by filling out an I-129F (+ more for K3, I think) via
CSC/TSC/NSC/VSC.
San Francisco District office is for AOS (Adjustment of Status) after
entering on a K1 or K3 (or otherwise, but K1/K3 is most relevant for this
newsgroup).

Re: San Francisco AOS Update
Dang I filed late August through SF, expecting to get word of EAD and biometrics by the end of the month. How long did it take to get NOA and EAD etc?
Congrats

By the way it isn't INS anymore but USCIS
Take care!
