AOS, EAD, and AP application sent to Chicago Lockbox- where does it go from there?

[herself 0]

Hi all,

I sent out the AOS, EAD, and AP application to the Chicago Lockbox about three weeks ago. I tracked it via USPS and I see that it was delivered about 3 days after I sent it. We have not received a NOA as yet, but I know this can take awhile- My question is what happens to the application after it is received in Chicago? Does it get sent on to one of the National Service Centers like where our K1 visa application was processed? Or does it go to a "local" office in our state, and where would that be? Do the different parts get sent to separate offices?

Thanks for any help!

It gets processed at the office where they check for completeness. If you have not received your NOA's by now you should check to see if your check was cashed.

From what I understand, your file go to NBC in Missouri. But for the AOS, sometimes your file got transfered to California, sometimes it's sent to your local office right before the interview.

hiya

be looks of your timeline you have received your biometrics appointment...sit tight on the NOA1 it will eventually come....your approval notice is more important than the first notice...

by getting your biometrics appointment you at least know they are processing your application...when did they cash the cheque...

the biometrics is a quick and painless process just dont forget your ID eg. passport or state id...and the biometrics notice...

good luck on a quick approval..

Thank you for your replies!

We got the NOA's for all three parts as well as a biometrics appointment letter- coming up fast on the 19th already We also got an email that the AOS case is being transferred to the California Service Center, but it didn't mention anything about the EAD or travel AP. Does this mean it got separated, or will they process those parts at the National center? Is there some sort of follow up we should do to make sure it all gets processed? Also, does anyone else have an AOS pending at California? I don't see a processing time on the website for an AOS based on approved, completed K-1 visa at CA...

Thanks again!!

great that you received your NOA's told ya it would come soon enough...

when I was doing my Aos mine was also transferred to California..I ended up receiving my greencard with no interview...but that doesn't mean you may be called upon to have one..if ya get me.. majority that transfer to CA get their greencards quicker and with no interview..

I also go my EAD approved after my greencard was approved...

good luck on your speedy greencard approval coming your way..

take care
