Pink melody: Or if your case gets transferred to CSC. Well, you'll probably get the approval for AP and EAD so that'll probably be the first you hear.

Knight_tz: Not quite Chicago, I'm in Valparaiso in Indiana. Am mostly only in Chicago when going to the airport.

@moomin

Will they send me hard copy to inform that or just email/text? I shall check my mail box everyday then lol

@RandyN

When you got the email about transfer, would it show on the updates for USCIS website with the receipt number?

Indeed! Hope you've had good experiences so far. At the BMV they had my husband sign an affidavit so I got a state ID quite fast after arriving. SSN only took 3 days from applying until it was at my doorstep. Wasn't expected but that's what I call service though. :)

@moomin

Will they send me hard copy to inform that or just email/text? I shall check my mail box everyday then lol

:D If your case gets transferred you'll get an email(if the update system is working) but also a notice in mail. The little blue dot changes on the check my case file on USCIS when card production has been ordered. USCIS won't write anything "personal" in emails so if there are further details with an update you'll get the notice in mail.

Hello All

We are december filers too. I'm in. Our Biometrics appointment is on Jan 25. My hubby was a little down today as they would not give him a State ID at the DMV because he was "out of status". They wouldn't even look at our paper work. Anyway looking forward to the bio date.
