I've never heard of that...you might try asking in the forum specifically for AOS from other visas...I think all/most of us are from K1/K3 so I doubt we'd have experience with that!

Today is my hubby's bday..if the EAD came through today that would be the best present ever....hey I can dream right? haha

We got all out NOA1's in the mail today but the check still has not been cashed...maybe later on today it will clear the account.

I tried to enter the receipt numbers but it says that they were invalid. Maybe we just need to wait a day or two?

I guess I should join the discussion on this thread too.

We filed our AOS in Sept.

We got the three NOA1 letters in the mail last week, all 3 are dated Sept 23. I opened an account and tried to add the case numbers (all start with MSC-xxxxxx), it is still telling me "Attempting to add a case that does not exist. Check the app receipt number." It won't accept the dashes, so of course I'm putting in the numbers without the dashes.

Has anyone else run into this? I'd like to be able to track the touches and get the CRIS emails etc., like y'all are doing.... I remember doing this back during the K1 process, but I don't think I had a problem entering the receipt number as I do now.

we got ours in the mail today and I was trying to add the case numbers too and got the same message. Keep me posted on when you get it to work.

OK I need a favour off everyone in this thread, I need you all to access the spreadsheet (in my signature) and check over the entries I've put in for you, look for any possible errors I've made and any missing pieces of data for your case such as:

1) Type of visa adjusting from

2) Whether you sent off a I-693

3) NOA date

4) Biometrics date

5) Whether you will attend Biometrics on the date given or will you try an early walk in

6) If you have been transferred to the CSC yet

7) Whether you filed for EAD or AP or both on top of your AOS application

Thanks :thumbs:
