MDUdall: Detroit K-1/AOS'er filing news
I just received the AOS questionnaire and supporting materials from one of my
former K-1'er couples who live within the jurisdiction of the Detroit INS office.
They want me to help them prepare their AOS submission for filing with that
particular INS office.
Since many INS offices have stopped allowing in person filing, I though I'd call
Detroit to ask them about a few things. I got right through and spoke with
officer Lin.
He indicated that yes, for the time being they are still allowing people to come in
and file their AOS submissions in person. I then asked if Detroit was still doing
same day adjudication for K-1'ers. He replied that yes, "for a little while longer"
they will be adjudicating them on the day of filing, however "because they are now
getting too many of them" he is coincidentally personally revising the procedures at
the Detroit office (apparently he was given the task of doing this), and soon they
won't be doing this anymore.
Guess I'd better prepare and ship this to the client for a "one-way" trip (instead of
having them sign forms, send it back to me, then my assembly of the finished product
for in person filing). It's a little more complicated to organize it when doing a
"one-way" shipment to a client, but if I can beat the change in procedure at Detroit,
I'm going to do it.
So, for others falling into this situation, better get it while the getting is still
good :-). Good luck with your cases.

Re: MDUdall: Detroit K-1/AOS'er filing news
Why are they discontinuing the same day adjudications in Detroit. Is only Detroit being affected or would the other two offices be done for as well?
Has this been a failed project for the INS?
just curious

I know from first hand experience that Dallas has stopped doing same day AOS for K-1'ers. However, they're still really fast...I had my AOS interview (from K1) a little over 3 months after filing.
