AOS Question

Question??????

Do you get three individual case numbers (one for I485, I131 and I765), or is there just one number for the entire file? I got a number on the back of the check...but the status check online is not recognizing the number. Does it start with MSC?

when i tried mine at first it didnt work either. When i got the NOA in the mail the numbers were off by 1 number so it was actually onenumber higher then what was actually stamped on the check. Even then it didnt show up for a few days.

You will get individual NOA's (and unique receipt numbers) for each of the AOS/EAD and AP. Presumably only one could be printed on the back of the check - the CRIS system is notoriously inaccurate so it may take a while before they show up online. Once you get your NOAs, you'll know they have them and are processing them.

Does it start with MSC?

Yes

Me too lady...me too! How long is biometrics typically? I know the USCIS site states about 30 days...but does it normally take that much time based on VJ cases?

hey jaws.. the biometrics does usually take 30 days for the appt, u usually get the appt letter few days after you get the NOA. and can walk in most offices as long as you have the letter.

we did walk in but im not sure how much it helped.. looking at timelines.. you usually still rec the EAD 1-2 weeks after the original appt date, i did see a few ppl get it sooner, not sure if it was becuz of the walk in or just blessed LOL ...

i think its worth a shot tho..

you should check out the AOS forum.. its really helpful!

also, that online status was VERY misleading.. i have been approved and i think mine still says intial review LOL

i did much better looking at the status of other filers to tell when i would or wouldn't get something.. almost predicted stuff to the DAY!

be blessed mami, hope it goes SUPER FAST!!!!

Thanks LadyC and Quana...

I still have not received NOA1s in the mail. I'm not sure why it took them 6 days to even cash the check...so I guess I have to count 7-8 days out from the date the check was cashed.

I just wish this process was all behind me...I'm tired of the waiting game and red tape already. Maybe, its because I went through this before with ex-husband. I am ready for him to start working too. I have been very diligent about not making him feel bad because he can't work...but it has been an extreme hardship lately.
