Hello everyone. I figured it was time for me to jump into the AOS forums. We mailed our AOS package on January 20th, and received our NOA's yesterday. I am filing for both my wife and my 18 year old stepdaughter. We received the 6 separate letters (NOA)---3 for each--for the work permit, advanced parole, and the I-485. We have not yet received the biometric appointment letters, but anticipate them arriving later this week.

I wish everyone success and speed in the processing of this next phase of documents!

Update again! Yay!! We just received the NOA1 for AP, EAD & AOS. I just tried to search my case number on USCIS and it seems they have my case on the sytem now!!

hi! where can u get the case number for aos status checking online?

You go to USCIS web site and then type in your MSC number without dashes. You will see your case status and

Or you can also create a profile USCIS Create Profile setup ur own email and add your case number afterward and they will always notify you on you provided email address if there is any change.

Hope it helps!

i mean what is the MSC number? wasthat the receipt number we are using when we use to check our K1-K3 case status online? where can u see the MSC number

Hi everybody! We are January filers too. Mailed my documents to Chicago on 3d January, got all three NOAs on January 12th. NOAs were issued on January 8th, so it was a kind of quick. But right now we got stuck with our biometrics appointment: still no invitation letter I am really starting to freak out since most of the peoplle get their biometrics within one month from filing the papers. Well, right now I guess there is nothing else to do but wait...

Same here, our NOA1 was posted jan 20th and up to now we are still waiting for biometrics appt letter while most of the people who received NOA1 within our timeframe have their biometrics appt letter on hand. .. but like you said, all we can do is wait.

here's to us receiving the biometrics appt letter soon. God bless.

[dbears 1]

Sorry cwaf, I missed adding you in the earlier update. Good luck and God bless always.

I see in our time line tracker that at least three people have had their biometrics appointments. I found one review so far...could the other couples let us know how things went. We have our appointment on Monday and I'm really not sure what to expect. I always tend to expect the worst when it comes to our immigration process. Any help would be great!!

OMG I just received my NOA in the mail. So my husband got a NOA for I-130 and I got a NOA for the advance parole document. Am I supposed to get one for I-485 and EAD as well?? and if yes, why do you think they were not sent at the same time?

LeaAndBen,

You will receive another NOA receipt for I-485 and EAD, maybe it will take couple days later for you to receive them.

Dbears, thanks for adding us to the list. We were thinking of calling USCIS but then decided that it would be too early cause it's not even a month since NOA... Well, I guess it all depends on how busy the local office is and on some luck, too (our cases might be at some lazy officer ). Let's give them some more time and just pray that we get our invitations in the mail soon.

OK, here's your Biometrics review,,,,, Tiff and I arrived on time at the ASC in Brooklyn NY. It wasn't too crowded. In the appointment letter, nowhere did it say bring a marriage certificate (But bring it). First we checked in and filled out a simple form to register. Then they checked ID, since Tiff's married name did not match her passport, that's where the marriage certificate comes in to play. After that, they took her fingerprint via livescan, and photographed her. The whole experience was rather pleasant, and I shot the breeze with the ASC manager while I waited on the side. Pleasant fellow, even gave me his card with his email on it. We were in and out within the hour.

Goodluck.

[kcoyclay1 98]

Just adding my timeline for persons who will find it helpful. All the best for each of us who are journeying together as January 2009 AOS Submitters. I have registered on the USCIS website to receive emails regarding the processing of my applications and received an email that intial evidence is required. I don't know what evidence I have left out, as I checked all documents about ten times. Well I guess things slipped through my sight and will find out soon enough. Peace and love to you and the all the best
