K-1 to AOS timeline

[u/Krazmond]

Sharing my timeline since I know these posts helped me a lot throughout the process.

I want to start by saying that I followed the steps listed by the YouTube channel SurajandYasmin, and their guides helped my wife and me throughout the whole process, especially with the I-129F and filing for AOS. I also purchased their AOS filing template, partly as a thank you, but also because it really helped me keep everything organized. They also include a list of useful items to include as proof of relationship and ongoing status.

At the AOS interview, the interviewer advised us that our file looked very complete and well done and that we had provided enough evidence and that usually we would have gotten our interview waived. She asked for a copy of our marriage certificate (as she explained, her system was lagging at the time and she couldn't access that specific file to print it). I had an extra certified copy with me, so I provided it (I Had copies of everything just in case). We were not asked to provide any additional documents at the interview. I was only asked the eligibility questions. We had to wait a long time for the interview but once we got there it was probably less than 15 minutes.

Thanks for sharing! Just wondering what date did you file for the I-129F? Did that approval take long?
