I am posting in this thread too. It seems like there are two September threads. Will they be combined?

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!

Hi, I'm in this boat too!

Sent my package on Sept 16th, express USPS mail, with return receipt. I checked the USPS website and it indicated that my file has left Houston already. As things here are still a little slow due to the hurricane recovery, I hope to get the NOA by next week.

Good luck to all! :energy:

There are two threads, its getting confusing as to which I posted in last! (so if they are combined then I apologize for double posts. I think I'll stay with this one from now on though.)

I got my biometrics appointment letter today, my appointment is on Oct. 1st. I may need to reschedule but hopefully not. We'll see!

Good luck guys/girls!

I'm a September filer too :)

Sent my application on the 9th and received my NOA1 on the 16th. I haven't checked to see if my check was cashed yet, but it should be by now. I hope the wait will be as short as possible for all of us. Good luck!!

They have probably deposited them, but your bank just hasn't cleared them on your side yet. Mine took about 10 days to show on online banking that they had been cashed. (but they were deposited the day my package was received)

I need a little help from you guys who are doing AOS now after getting a K3.

I don't know what to answer to the question 2 of the form I-485:

]Application type

I am applying for an adjustment to permanent resident status because:

a. An immigrant petition giving me an immediately available immigrant visa number has been

approved. (Attach a copy of the approval notice, or a relative, special immigrant juvenile, or

special immigrant military visa petition filed with this application that will give you an

immediately available visa number, if approved.)

b. My spouse or parent applied for adjustment of status or was granted lawful permanent

residence in an immigrant visa category that allows derivative status for spouses and children.

c. I entered as a K-1 fiancé(e) of a U.S. citizen whom I married within 90 days of entry, or I am

the K-2 child of such a fiancé(e). (Attach a copy of the fiancé(e) petition approval notice and

the marriage certificate).

d. I was granted asylum or derivative asylum status as the spouse or child of a person granted

asylum and am eligible for adjustment.

e. I am a native or citizen of Cuba admitted or paroled into the United States after January 1,

1959, and thereafter have been physically present in the United States for at least one year.

f. I am the husband, wife, or minor unmarried child of a Cuban described above in (e), and I am

residing with that person, and was admitted or paroled into the United States after January 1,

1959, and thereafter have been physically present in the United States for at least one year.

g. I have continuously resided in the United States since before January 1, 1972.

h. Other basis of eligibility. Explain (for example, I was admitted as a refugee, my status has not

been terminated, and I have been physically present in the United States for one year after

admission). If additional space is needed, use a separate piece of paper.

I am already a permanent resident and am applying to have the date I was granted permanent

residence adjusted to the date I originally arrived in the United States as a nonimmigrant or

parolee, or as of May 2, 1964, whichever date is later, and: (Check one.)

i. I am a native or citizen of Cuba and meet the description in (e) above.

j. I am the husband, wife, or minor unmarried child of a Cuban and meet the description in (F)

above.

None of these seems to apply to K3. Maybe it's because this form has been around before the K3 visa has.

So, should I use h. and explain in a separate sheet that I have a K3? What did you guys do?
