November 2011 AOS FIlers

[castillo007 0]

Hey guys, how is it going? I'm a November filer as well. I filed my whole package (G-1145, I-130, I-485, and I-765) to the Chicago lockbox on 11/16/11 via USPS Express mail and it was delivered on 11/17/11 at 1:52 pm, signed by R MERCADO. Have not recieved any email/sms notification so far but it will eventually happen. My only concern about my applications is the fact that I enclosed them in two separate USPS Express mail envelopes(I-130, I-485,and I-765 in first envelope and I-864 plus I-864A in second envelope) due to lack of space. Do you guys think that this scenario could cause any delay or confusion when USCIS starts processing my applications? I'm the beneficiary of these applications and its based on marriage.

I am starting to get worried about Pui's AOS package. We sent it 11/04 delivery confirmation 11/07 and nothing since. I think it might have gotten rejected. Does anybody know how long it will take to find out if it was rejected?

I am about to mail my application by the end of the week and officially be a November AOS filer but I had a question about my i 485. I am married to a US citizen and came here through an F1 visa and still in status. I am a little confused on what to choose in Part 2 in regards to my eligibility should I pick other and say married to USC? Please helpppppppppppppppp

My walk-in biometrics in Seattle was successful today! I walked in and the information desk handed me a ticket number to be seen - he then noticed that my appt was for later but let me through with much hesitation. At the checkin desk the woman stamped my appt notice and also told me to have a seat when she too noticed my appt date (12/09/11). She told me to have a seat and that there was no guarantee that I would be seen. 15 minutes later my name was called and my biometrics were taken. I was so nervous but all went well! All in all I was out within 45 minutes of the office opening. My recommendation: arrive 30-45 minutes before the office opens (the parking is open at 7am) and try to get a ticket - the ticket is the key to get seen quickly. Best!

Congrats!

Ok, I went early in this morning. Tuns of people, I think they put together Thanksgiving and today. Anyhow, lady was saying that no one without the right date appointment was supposed to go in, at all. I made her my sad puppy face, and she said she would ask the manager (Who looked M A D). She said to go back today between 1:30 to 2:00 and that they might let me have my bio today. So I'm hoping for the best, gonna go back later and see how it goes.

the sad puppy face goes a long distance - USE IT! Good luck today, if you have some sort of trip coming up just mention that you'd like to get it done now because the rescheduled appt will probably be in january and you'd don't want to delay the process. Also mention that you're willing to wait, even if they can't promise they'll get to you, maybe that will help....

I think the right selection in your case would be "h".You may want to read the I-485 Instruction though first. Hope this helps.

Good luck.

Is there a reason why people want to do their bio metrics early? Will it make the process go faster if you get it done earlier?

From that i've read it will likely make the EAD card application go faster, since progress depends on biometrics being completed.... but I'm not sure if it makes the green card progress any faster. If anything, I'm willing to bet that it doesn't make things go slower

Happy to finally be in Nov Fillers

Hoping it brings goodluck...lolol

Thanks Carlos EA. We were on the same time line until Pui's paper work sat there for two weeks. Well when Pui get's her biometrics appoint we will do a walk in the next day. I will make sure she gives them a puppy dog face if they say no.

I'm back! Everything was somewhat complicated. Went in, told us to sit down because they saw it a little impossible to let do a walk in since they were back logged by 30 people. Then I got called to tell me they couldn't, and I started doing puppy face again. I told them it was only me and explained the circumstances as to why I couldn't wait. (I did not lie about a trip, but they did ask if that was one of the reasons, seemingly if you say you have a trip you do have more of a chance of getting a walk in.) The receptionist told me that if I wanted to wait 30 minutes to see how the speed went, I could, and ask her again. I did this and she said that just because I waited. Hahahaha. I told her she was going to heaven, so I WAS ABLE TO DO A WALK IN!!!! Kinda stressed, waited for an hour and a half, but worth it. I was the last person to have a Bio by that officer, they were supposed to close at noon today, but for some reason somebody scheduled appointments when they shouldn't and TADA!!
