I received 2 letters also, the first was only for I485 & I765. It wasnt until I completed the walk in appointment did the 2nd one come in the mail for Advance parole. But while I was at the ASC they went ahead an issued me another letter ahead of time for the advance parole and did all 3 at 1 time

Good to know! My daughter's biometric appointment on the 17th is just for her I485 and I765, as well. Hopefully they'll allow her to do all 3 at the same time, if a second letter doesn't come in beforehand.

That's so ridiculous that they wouldn't have them all on the same letter!

I don't think that it'll be the second letter.

As you know U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced that it is now issuing employment and travel authorization on a single card for certain applicants filing an Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, Form I-485.

yes I've heard that too, but I just wanted to cover all my bases and since it was the lady at the ASC that issued me the other letter for AP, coupled with my calling USCIS to make sure they had biometrics for all 3 forms, and that USCIS did send me a second I 797C for AP, I am assuming biometrics is needed for all 3 forms :) No harm in getting more done rather than less and Since the information taken (fingerprints and picture) are all the same, its really no harm :)

How does logging into the USCIS website work to check on your case status? I got my first NOA's, but didn't notice any case # on them. Maybe I overlooked them?
