Good Luck!

Does it ever tell you online that they have sent the biometrics notice? Or you just find out when it shows up in your mailbox?

Thanks!!

They didn't say anything about whether they sent the letter yet.

but I think when they put your information into the system, they sent the letter out right away.

so I think your appointment letter should be there by the end of this week. :lol:

I just got a text message with the 3 case numbers (AOS, EAD, AP). Happy to, finally, after 15 days, get some news.

The I-485 case status on USCIS website is on the "Acceptance" circle and the statement starts with "On May 21, 2012, your fingerprint fee was accepted and we have mailed you a notice describing how we will process your case", however the other 2 ones are on the "Initial Review" circle. Is that normal? Thanks everyone :)

Awesome! Congratulations! I know that's a relief for you.

Now, if I could just hear something from my case...

It doesn't speed up your application. Sometimes an applicant cannot make it on the scheduled biometrics so a reschedule is needed

Some people think it speeds things up. I think the jury is still out though. The little bit I've reviewed people's timelines, it looks like they don't get their interview date until after their scheduled bio date, no matter what. But, it MIGHT help.

I think the reason lots of people did early walk-in is because when you know you can do something about your case, you don't want to just sit at home and wait, you want to get it done right away. And an early walk-in doesn't hurt at all. :lol:

It really depends, if it's not difficult for you to get there, you may just go have a try.

The lady at our ASC is not very happy about me trying to do early walk-in,

but she let me in coz it was a very slow day, there were only 5 people waiting.
