Hi Greg

Thank you for your advice. My husband and I have been worring about the biometrics letter but we decided to be patient little bit more

Yes, we did submit the I-693 with the AOS package.

We hope you will get the biometrics soon.

Nikki and Brian

It's been 11 days and I haven't received my NOA's... whats going on?

By the way, the checks were cashed already but still no NOA's...

I'll wait until tomorrow.

new update from me..

On October 21, 2009, we transferred this case I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS to our CALIFORNIA SERVICE CENTER location for processing and sent you a notice explaining this action.

oh yeah, that means, I can see my case status update online for i485.. .. not for others, but all good!!! and I haven't received the notice in post as yet!

... tomorrow is biometrics appointment!!

@Djohn : I believe your NOA will be in your mailbox by tomorrow. Your timeline is pretty cloes to mine. My packet reached USCIS on 13th, NOA was dated 20th and delivered to me by 23rd. So dont worry

@Simbafuzz : Congratz on transferred! I read on forum if your case is transferred it means NO interview.yay!

Thanks! I'll try not to worry about it and just patiently wait. I'll keep you updated! thanks again ---

Hi Nikki and Brian, your biometrics appt is scheduled with your local ACS. I don't know how the scheduling is done, but I wonder if the local ACS is involved in the scheduling process. Maybe those located in larger cities are able to schedule more quickly. Our ACS is in Honolulu and, judging from VisaJourney activity, does not process as many I-485s as other cities. What is your local ACS?

Thanks! I'll try not to worry about it and just patiently wait. I'll keep you updated! thanks again ---

This week should bring all of us good news. I hope you get your NOAs early this week Djohn.

I hate to say it but just because someone is transferd does NOT mean they will have absolutly no interview. CSC can kick back the case to the service center and request that the person does an interview. It is all up to them and what they feel needs to be interviewed or not.

Inky, I agree with you, there is a chance the transfers gets moved back to local for interviewed!! This is what the online case status says, "During this step, USCIS initiates the background checks of the applicant/petitioner and identifies issues that may need to be addressed either during an interview or by asking the applicant/petitioner to submit additional information or documentation."

Just fingers crossed, thats all!

I see your making a spreadsheet my AOS timeline is in my signature my case was transfered to CSC after i got my biometrics notice but I havent even gone to biometrics yet.

Hi Inky, welcome to the group! I've added you to the spreadsheet. Your case is moving right along.

Did you send in the I-693 with your package?

Greg

Hi Greg

I was just wondering if you could please pop over to the "Adjustment of Status from Work, Student, & Tourist Visas" and include the rest of the October filers to your spreadsheet? I noticed you already have some of us in your spreadsheet, so there will only be a few more to add including myself.

Will be greatly appreciated

...still waiting for my biometrics letter

Inky is it just me or does your timeline for 129-F look right to you? I know it doesn't have to do anything with AOS but i was just curious.

We didn't get a chance to do our walk-in since they told us on Friday that walk-in day was Weds and I had to work that day

As of this morning we are still unable to check our status on the uscis site either, and I was about to throw something again, when guess what came in the mail today? Our transfer to CSC letter!

Our case was transferred on 10/21 and our bio appt is still this Friday.

Congrats and welcome to everyone I missed!

Hello all,

I wish that I could be on more often to share with you, but with 2 young children (2 and 1), it's not always easy...I just wanted to share that I got my NOA1s in the mail today! I was a bit worried because I wrote my money orders wrong (wrote USCIS instead of US department of homeland security). i was able to confirm with western union that they were cashed, but still I felt I needed my NOA1s to feel more at ease.

I'm glad to see people getting transferred to CSC. I hope it will be our faith, but if we have to go to an interview, so be it!

To Greg, thank you for the spreadsheet! It's always great to try and find patterns. Just to add to my info, I did NOT send the I693.

I'll try to stay in touch more...Happy continuation everyone!

Hi shenan, does your case number show on the biometrics appointment letter? Was it the same one from your cashed check? Is it online yet?

I'll trade you one of my NOAs for your biometrics appointment.

Hi Mayjs,

Do you still have your old passport with your Visa and I-94? I think it was a good idea to get your passport renewed. Some people have had problems in the process with a passport that was about to expire.
