AOS Filers October 2009

[MikeInWyoming 2]

I've added many new entries to the spreadsheet. Everyone please check your entries and let me know if there are any additions or corrections.

Specifically, please let me know:

- Did you filed the I-693 with your AOS package

Hi Greg,

We submitted an I-693's with just the Vaccination pages filled in plus the signature pages. We had to go to war with the local health department - they wanted to give the full physical again even though Beth and Nicole (age 11 daughter) had them just a month earlier.

BTW - I filed TWO I-485s in the same packet. One for the k1 and one for the K2. The check was for $1,610.00.

So do we get two lines in the sheet! ;-) NOA for both come at the same time each time but in separate envelopes.

Thank You!! The website thing is so frustrating- I mean how much does it really take to have a system set up that would automatically scan records and leave "touches" or prints on your file when it is being reviewed!?!

From my experience on K1- I only got few touches that was when I rcvd NOA1 and NOA2 only, while some other filers seemed to have a lot more touches than I had. Maybe it depends on the adjudicator when reviewing our case and get in to the system for updating it. (I hope someone would correct me if I am wrong). For AOS I only got one touch so far.

Wow ! Monday brings such a good progress for Oct Filers!! Congratz BabylonFari!!

You're so right SnS.

Woohoo!! We just got our biometrics appointment letter in the mail today!!

Notice dated: 10/19/09

Notice received: 10/26/09

Appointment: 11/12/09

Woohooo!! Congratz Greg for your bio appt.!! Great news , hope the ball keeps rolling and rolling!!

Good luck everyone

Thanks Mike, that's seems to be a common story with people just wanting the vaccination supplement. Thanks for the update. I'll keep your data on one line in the spreadsheet unless the dates start to diverge.

Hi Greg. Thanks for the work on the spreadsheet. It's awesome. We filed the I693 just needing the vaccination supplement part as the exam was done in Juarez for the K1.

Thanks

Hi guys, this is my update

I just did Walk-in Biometrics yesterday (Oct 26, 2009)

I got Biometrics Appointment on Oct 24

My original date is November 10,

I just wanted to try I would do it or not, and it's done!!

I went to USCIS Wilshire, Los Angeles, CA.

This is my experience:

The guard was Mexican guy and he sit with an American lady, just only two people at the reception desk.

I gave him a Biometrics Appointment Notice, he asked me to show a passport and a marriage certificate.

He didn't even look at my appointment date, he just checked my name in the passport and my last name in the marriage certificate.

Then, he gave me an application form and waiting number.

During I filled out the form, he called my number, and I told him I've not finished yet.

He said, it's ok, he would finish it.

He filled out the rest of my form and stamp the Biometrics date and sent me to the guy who did Biometrics to me.

After I got the Biometrics, he gave me a small yellow paper, and tole me to put it in the box .

That's all, it took only 15 minutes in the office.

When i went to check the statues online i had a touch today, am not sure what it is? Does anybody knows if they send you the biometric apponitment if there is any touch or not?

Anisa.. just wondering.. where do you check if your application has been touched or not? 'cause I can't see it online.. It just says that it's still on the initial review..

Anisa, we got the biometrics appointment without any touches. In fact, we called the 800 number last week and they said the biometrics appointment had not been set. In fact, when we got the letter (yesterday) it was dated several days before the call. I think a touch is good, but no touch doesn't mean anything. Their online system is pretty unreliable.

Same here km24. I don't see anywhere says touch on my online status. just initial review... Reading from lots of postings, their system is very inconsistent....

A touch is when the "Last Updated" date changes. The Last Updated date shows on the My Portfolio page after you log into your account.

Welcome to everyone who just sent out their AOS package!!! As an update to my case I got my Biometrics done today since the Application Support Center I went to wasn't that busy and the security guy up front was kind enough to let my wife and I walk-in without an appointment!!!

Goodluck to you all :-)

A touch simply means your file was looked at or reviewed. They may or may not send the bio app after a touch.

Nick went for his biometrics today! He was originally scheduled for November 6th, but decided to try and walk-in. There were no problems and we're so happy to have one more step of the process complete!!!
