congrats Rosie!
I had my interview yesterday and they told me that "adjudicative review" is needed. The IO told us he believes we are married, but he needs to review the case. Ever heard of this?

It seems one of the moderators has deleted that thread...don't know mistakenly or knowingly...but sometimes some stuffs do get deleted mistakenly on here...and it's also not sure if the moderator who deleted that thread was assigned on this forum...because if the moderator who deleted that thread was from other forum then I wonder why that moderator interfered on here when s/he isn't assigned on this forum...Unfortunately, that thread can't be brought back as it has gone permanently by the moderator who did delete it.

I tried searching for it myself... but to no avail. It beats me though, why would anyone want to delete a thread like that? also (the initial poster in that thread could have deleted it too... but Mods could still find it).

anyone else heard of this? I read on other posts that it was just a supervisor-needs-to-approve thing, but I want to make sure... I know I'm stressing too much over it

October 2008 filers --I485, I130-- Seattle,Wa
I hope this is the right place to start a new thread.
I am a US citizen and I filed I485, I130, I765, I131 in early October 2008 for my wife. Sent to Chicago lock box. Then they forwarded to MSC.
Location: Seattle,WA
NOA 10/10/2008.
RFE for one evidence: I sent the evidence 11/11/2008
Finger print: 11/10/2008.
I131, I765: approved in early Feb 2009. I have to contact USCIS twice because it is over 3 months.
I485, I130 : Still pending.....waiting for news...140 days and counting.
I want to know if anyone in the Seattle area who filed the same time frame as me and has got an interview or interview letter already.
The processing time for Seattle is now May 17,2008. I do not think that date is accurate at all after reading a lot of thread here.

I was the initail poster.. but I have not deleted it. I searched in the deleted threads myself and could not find it
Thank you Mici!
Don't worry, some IO's don't have the authority to approve right away, so they need a supervisor to give the final ok. You should be able to get a response soon. Good luck!

Thank you rosie
I hope that's all there is to it.For some reason the original October 2008 thread started by myself was deleted by another moderator (not me).
Gladius started a new thread yesterday, so I am merging the 2 together.

I have another question - surprise
I am currently on F-1 and I was wondering - since I already got my interview, but I am waiting on the outcome, do you know if I can drop some classes at school? I took them to be full-time student in order to keep my F-1, but I would like to lighten my load now to be able to work a little more.
thanks!

The F1 visa specifically exclude immigration intent. As soon as you applied for adjustment of status, your F1 visa became null and void. You can drop classes.

great... I wish I knew that before I spent 3 thousand on school and now I cannot get any of it back
Yes, I'm sure.
What you were before F1, and where your I-94 was created doesn't change anything.
F1 and AOS are mutually exclusive.
The interview you mentioned was for AOS, right?
When was it? What was the outcome?

thanks whaledad
sorry for questioning you, but I called attorneys, school officials and everybody says something else. I just found an article containing what you were probably talking about: http://www.hooyou.com/f-1/140filing.htm
whaledad is neither right nor wrong. F-1 is a visa with non-immigrant intent, and so being in AOS-pending status and F-1 status concurrently is contradictory. however, USCIS has not clarified this issue, and as long as you did not leave the US and re-enter on advance parole, you should still act as if you are in F-1 status and abide by F-1 rules (you will remain active in SEVIS) to be safe. if your AOS is approved then this is irrelevant, but if it is not then you're better off showing that you never broke F-1 rules. this is what i would suggest.
Yes, you broke the "F-1 rules" when he applied for AOS, clearly and undisputedly showing immigration intent. Your status changed from "F1" to "pending AOS".
Yes, you can continue to maintain active in Sevis for the (hopefully unlikely) case that his AOS is refused, but your F1 visa value becomes very shaky to say the least. This would really become apparent upon returning from your first trip out of the country. The IO will see the denied AOS and will likely interpret this as immigration intent and will likely deny re-entry on your F-1 visa.
But, indeed, as long as you would not leave the contry, you would be able to stay here and finish your studies on F-1 even if you were denied AOS. You would not be deportable. Whereas if you cut your studyload now, you lose your "backup" F-1 status, and it would be nearly impossible to get it back.
You should expect to get the outcome of your interview in days or maximum weeks. Better indeed to stick with your study load for a little while longer.

I hadn't seen that article before, but it very clearly and very extensively discusses what I'm talking about.
This is the clearest summary of the issues:
