Sometimes it takes a few days for cases to appear online. Check again in a few days and it will be there. If it's not, like messybrownhair said, sometimes they don't appear online at all. Nothing to w

Hi,

We sent in our AOS aplication on 4/12, they got it on 4/15 and we are still waiting for the NOA1 paper to arrive by mail. In checking on the case online, it has been updated almost daily since we sent it in. Hoping that the I131 gets approved quickly so that we can head back to Brazil in July / August... I don't think that should be a problem.

Hi everyone! I just joined since I noticed that there were people freaking out about not receiving an NOA. I just wanted you to know that I received my text/email NOAs after 33 days. I called them at 31 days and was told to wait another 15 days. So, the trick is to be patient. It can take 3 days, or it can take more than a month. Worrying will get you nowhere!

On another note, I need to leave the country on June 5th for work. Does anyone know how to expedite the Advanced Parole process? I've been told I should call them after I receive my biometrics appointment.

Hi! from what I know, you make an infopass apt and explain your situation, and they will give you an emergency AP that's stamped on your passport or something. I could be wrong :)

Hi all :)

I received my first hardcopy NOA today, yay!

But when I checked my case status on USCIS website it cannot be found. I'll call USCIS tomorrow, but in the mean time, has anyone experienced similar situation?

Am really hoping for a smooth and quick AOS process, especially for EAD ( I have a job offer to start June 1), if anyone would like to share information regarding speeding the EAD process, would be much appreciated.

Good luck to all the April filers :D

It can take some time for a case to appear on USCIS website, it happens all the time. Nothing to worry about.

K1: June 2010 - December 2010

AOS: April 2011 - June 2011

ROC: April 2013 - August 2013

Naturalization: March 2014 - August 2014

If you look at the March forum, there are people who waited 30-31 days to get a notice so I wouldn't worry yet :)
