Hi,

I thought i would try it again to ask it,last time i tried i got wonderful other
advice from several people,still want to thank them for it,but i never really got an
answer to my question:

What is the timeline for the K-1 through Seattle office?

i would appreciate any insight on that greetings Ron

I came into the US at Seatac on a K-1 on 9/4/01. I married in Oct 2001 and then applied for the AOS on 12/3/01 at the Airport Way Seattle office. I didn't receive any NOAs until 5/1/02, which was the notice of AOS interview. The interview wil be on 6/28/02. So from filing I485 until the interiew - nearly 7 months.

Ron

and what was the timeline from the day of application for the K1 till the day
you married?

IN CAPS ON PURPOSE

YOU DO NOT FILE THE K-1 THROUGH SEATTLE INS OFFICE

You will file the I-129F at the service center, which for you would be Laguana

You will use the Seattle office for adjustment of status after the K-1 recipient enters the US, you marry and have to apply for adjustment of status.

Hope this helps clear things up
