August 2010 Filers

[dierathy 2]

I understand the frustration but what you really NEED to do relax a little and look at the timelines of people who have gone through the process before you. You'll see plenty of examples where people have gotten bio letter anywhere from 2 days to 2 months. There are some July filers who still have not gotten their bio letter yet. Looking at your timeline, its only been 4 business days since you got your NOA1, I dont see a reason why you need to worry or even call USCIS. If you spend some time on this forum you'll find out that half the time the Customer Rep. dont even know what they are talking about. They have a script and go by that.

That is the problem I am seeing many members already getting their biometrics appointment and we having similar time lines I still do not have mine… I work on a Federal Agency and when I see our workflow and how long it takes for us to process cases…. I cannot imagine being in a similar situation having to wait so long…

Having similar timeline gives a good reference point but does doest guarentee that you'll have similar timeline. There are always outliers, just like you.

i got my Biometrics letter on Friday Sept 10 set for Oct 1. We are going to walk in on Friday as its just in boston and we live about 7 mins outside of the city. THere is no priority date on my NOAS either and my cases aren not showing on the USCIS website but i think that is because im gonna get an RFE for my AP and EAD as i didnt send in my passport pics i onlt sent in 2 pics instead of 6.

So, today I called to the USCIS for information about my case… I know I’m desperate! Asking if something happen that I haven’t received my Biometrics appointment… so they told me I have to wait at least 30 days after receiving the NOA’s by mail, to then filed a claim for not getting the appointment… Aggg… So, anyways… I have to wait…

Also I ask if the work flow was the problem, and she told me that they are working Feb. 7 application… WHAT??????? I ask her if I had to wait for them to finish those cases to get my appointment she said no! Just at least 30 days… in between those days you should get ur appointment… Thankfully our local office don’t work our cases… because that will drive me crazy!

My NOA1 is dated from August 19th and I have not received my biometrics letter yet. I have been transfered 10 days ago to CSC though. I am going to call USCIS on monday because it will be over 30 days that i received my NOA1.

I don't have them either on both my NOA's for AOS and EAD (didn't file for AP).

But on my biometrics letter there's no slot for "Priority Date" .... I'm guessing that's just how it is. I'm going to go to my appointment at the scheduled time and day. --it's the most convenient for us personally anyways

I just received an email that my AOS application was transferred to CSC today. Is this a good or bad thing now? I read somewhere that cases that got transferred are likely to get approved without an interview but I also read somewhere that they seem to be backed up at the CSC so I don't know whether I should be happy or sad now..?

I received my appointment date today, but on the USCIS website nothing changed, but im mostly just happy everything is moving along

Yes my case has been touched a few times since then. Good luck!

I had called USCIS up today, and my call was escalated to 2nd tier. Actually, I had to enquire about my EAD application which has been expedited by my congressmen's office. (My cases don't show up on uscis.gov yet). The officer was polite, and he told me (in a very vague way) that I shouldn't be worried about the expedite as I would get my EAD by 29th of September. What would that mean, literally? Has it been mailed, or has the EAD card production been issued, or..... ?

Any clues, anyone?

My NOA1 is dated from August 19th and I have not received my biometrics letter yet. I have been transfered 10 days ago to CSC though. I am going to call USCIS on monday because it will be over 30 days that i received my NOA1.

All my NOA1's (AOS, EAD and AP) are dated Aug 17, and I have not received the biometrics appointment notification. In fact, my EAD and AP cases are still unavailable on-line in the USCIS website, and my AOS case was available on-line until yesterday! That is how I became aware that my AOS case was transferred Sept 10 to the CSC. I am planning to call USCIS this Friday (it will be a month by then). I think each case is different, so I wouldn't worry to much.

Timeline:

Aug 12: Entered US with K1 visa.

Aug 13: Married.

Aug 16: Sent AOS, AP & EAD package by Fedex to the Chicago S. Dearborn St. address.

Aug 17: Fedex confirmed they had delivered the package.

Aug 25: Received emails and sms texts of my AOS, EAD and AP applications.

Aug 26: Check cashed.

Aug 30: Received hardcopies of NOA1's for my AOS, EAD and AP applications.

Sept 10: AOS case transferred to the California Service Center.

Sept 13: My AOS case was available on-line for the first time! Finally! (My EAD and AP cases are still unavailable on-line.)

I think you are mistaken, 12/03/09 is acceptable as it clearly says in the USCIS website. Its 12/16/2008 the one that they are rejecting as they did for me and many others who filed in July with me.

Whoever filed 12/03/09 should NOT be worried at all, until USCIS explicitly says that they are not accepting it.

It is acceptable, I didn't say it wasn't. However, there have been a few people who used this form and got their packets returned. I believe NewYorkSydney had that happen to them. It could just be that not everyone in USCIS got the memo that it is still accepted.
