My hubby got his biometrics appt for the 30 th yay!!

no problems with any of the forms ;)

i cant add my case online ! do u guys know why?!??!!

Hi all, I got a little behind due to waiting for my transcripts but im sending the AOS packet this afternoon, FINALLY!

I think im the first one doing this thread so hop in ! and share ur experiences ;)

The web service is unreliable at best. Some people (like me) can add their cases as soon as you get the NOA's yet others never get to add theirs.

Besides, it all comes down to the people who handle your case whether they update it or not. It's very common to have no activity for months and then all of a sudden get an email saying your card is being produced.

It seems that most people are able to add their case after biometrics though. :)

I found out something from CIS today. Arriving here on a K-3 Visa, your paperwork will be taken from you at the airport Immigration including your medical papers (I-693). Since it's a K-3 you obviously don't have to file the I-693 as part of the AOS petition. You have up to a year to file the AOS without the I-693...and since you don't have it to file it makes sense.

Interestingly as has been noted here, although our I-129F and I-130 were both approved in August, the website was last updated in July saying they were pending! So don't rely on USCIS website for your updates---it's always better to call and speak with them.

Cheers and good luck!

No appointment letters here, (I eagerly checked my mail today and all I got was junk mail :/ ) although here is some good news I tried to enter my receipt numbers today at the USCIS website and all three were entered sucessfully!

Although I don't know what good it will do me, because in my portfolio it still says my K-1 visa status is "recieved and pending". :P

best of luck to everyone!

My wife submitted her packet on September 9, it was received on September 11 (there will now be good meaning for us connected to this day), and yesterday (September 17) the check was cashed.

Here is hoping that she receives her NOA1 and her biometrics appointment soon!

Good luck to all September filers!
