Dirtyweebesom and Istanbulls - fingers crossed for you both that you get updates soon...

Thanks Marie09

Yeah I saw the same thing as well. What I am thinking is that even though we did a walk-in, it may not speed the process. From other months, I have seen that their EAD/AP approval come in after their actual Bio Appointment date although, they did walk-in.

We'll see

Yes, I have noticed that, too, but I've also noticed that some people do get their EAD card before their original biometrics appointment. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it really. I am really hoping that I'll at least get the EAD approval notice by Friday December 11th, as I will possibly have an interview the day after, and I'll need to prove that I'm authorized to work in the US.

I know, there is no an exact synchronize. I hope you will get the EAD Approval before your interview date. But even if you don't have it by then it should not affect your interview.

hey every1!!!

I just got all my papers sent back to my, received them this morning

Due to my stupidity , one of the checks was for the wrong amount. That's the one for I-130.

And the other one, I wrote out for the amount of $1010 (I-485 filing + biometrics), but they returned, saying, that IT'S RIGHT TO DO 2 different checks - one for the $930 (I-585 filing) and $80 (biometrics fee). Though on the forum I saw that people wrote just one, like I did the first time, and the docs were accepted.

Also, my form I-765 was outdated, though on the site it's said, that previous are acepted.

My thoughts, that the person, who got my papers decided to save us some money, cause if they accepted I-485 without I-765, we were gonna have to file I-765 again and pay ove $300.

nice

Hey Pappillon, I referred my "nice comment" for saving the money portion. But it sucks that you have to resend the forms again and it is causing a delay the process

Just got back home from college and RAN to our mailbox, and as expected: All 4 NOA's were there, WOOP WOOP !! No fears anymore about having the whole paket returned, lol

Seems to also be from Lee's Summit, MO, and I guess they were all "touched" today, since the "last update" date was today's date?

It won't let me quote

ohh... well... I'll just copy it...

"Awww Pappillon that sucks, so sorry to hear it was sent back.

I think since your I-130 check was wrong, they didn't accept the I-485 as the I-130 has to have been filed either before or at the same time, for you to be able and eligible to file the I-485. I think on the I-485 eligibility to says something along the lines of `your relative has already filed an I-130 for you or you are submitting the I-130 concurrently (at the same time as the I-485.)' If that makes sense, By them not accepting the I-130 they probably can't accept the I-485 as it messes up the eligibility thing.

Also even if they'd accepted your I-485 you could have still refiled the I-765 for no charge you'd just have needed to attach a copy of your I-485 NOA to your I-765.

Good Luck with refiling... and again sorry to hear that happened to you Hope you get to refile really soon

I also did the $1010 check for I-485 - no problems..."

I didn't think about the wole eligibility thing, U are right!!!

Anyway, we are donna mail everything tomorow morning. Hoping it's gonna be all right.

THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT GUYS!!!!!

And congratz to those who got the NOAs and APPOINTMENT dates!!!

WAY TO GO, GUYS!!!!!!!

You are so welcome SKY and also thank you for the details. Hoping that you will get your appointment letter soon. I am guessing you could expect to receive your letter later this week or early next week.

My mother-in-laws case is not touched since 11/20/09. Istanbulls and mine look similar but no update yet and NO FP notice yet.

11/10/09: Mailed I-130, I-485, I-864, G325A, I-693

11/12/09: Delivered signed by J.CHYBA

11/18/09: Checks Cashed($1010, $355)

11/21/09: Rcvd Notice for I-130 and I-485

Notice Date on the receipts as 11/17/09

Hope will get FP notice soon....

Istanbulls, can you change the NOA date in the spreadsheet to 11/17/09 for my MIL's case.

Thanks, Raj

So how random I just checked online and it said my I-130, I-765 & I-131 were all updated this past Friday 27th.

Nothing for the I-485 though.

Kindof surprised as I was expecting my case to just sit there until after biometrics... Glad they're working on it though

Same here. Same reaction

Wish I could say the same. Checked online today and my case hasn't been touched since Wednesday. I had a "touch" the same day as my biometrics, and one the day after, so I thought it was "All systems go", but apparently not. :-(

I feel you. I am on the exact same boat. No touch since 25th. I am hoping we'll get some updates this week.

Hey Raj,

I just updated the in for your MIL.

Based on the spreadsheet data, you should get the BIO appointment letter very soon. Probably, it was postponed because of the Thanksgiving. Keep the fingers crossed

Hey Raj,

My biometrics notice was issued on 11/13 but didn't get to me till 11/23. Some are very fast - others i've noticed are like mine and don't get received till 10 days or so after they're issued. I think some sit on the IO's desk for a few days then they mail them in one big batch...

I'm sure your MILs is probably already issued and should be on it's way very soon.

Hope it arrives really soon... Fingers crossed everyone gets great updates soon

Thanks Marie09

Still no new "touches" for me. Bah humbug! If I'd known this was going to be the case, I'd have waited to do my biometrics after getting my hair cut, so I'd at least have a cute picture on my EAD and green card. :-)
