I-485 (EAD, AP, FP)

Aliens who are physically present in the United States already are allowed to immigrate without leaving the United States to apply for an immigrant visa. This process is called Adjustment of Status (AOS).  The USCIS will permit an application for AOS to be filed only if an immigrant visa is immediately available to the alien. Section 245(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) governs the general AOS provisions.

Seattle DO AOS Interview Experience

I went for my interview, which went well. No surprises with a nice officer.

The common, have you ever questions...no no no no!

We were asked about the spouse's siblings,our honeymoon, when and how we met, how long we'd been dating before marriage, but nothing tricky.

Quite easy I would say.



The officer checked Id's, last taxreturn with W-2s, updated address (because we moved), marriage cert.
