Just checked my status online... everything is still under Initial Review.... My checking schedule may be a little overkill! whistling.gif

So does everyone get an email once thier biometrics has been accepted..??

I had the same question too , with USCIS seems like you can never tell. I never got such an email after completing the biometrics but I have seen one or two ppl here that received an email confirmation a day after the biometrics.

04/03/2013 (Day 0) - Sent off I-130,I-485, I-765

04/05/2013 (Day 1) - Package received by USCIS Chicago

04/11/2013 (Day 7) -Received all 3 NOAs via text and email

04/12/2013 (Day 8) - Checks cashed

04/19/2013 (Day 15) -Received Biometric appointment for 05/06/2013

04/22/2013 (Day 18) - Successful walk in Biometrics

I didn't get any email notification that my biometrics had been accepted. It's just that things started "moving" a few days after I had the appointment.

Their system really seem to be very haphazard and inaccurate. Which is why I'm not stressing too much about online updates. As long as I know that my paperwork was received (which I know it was based on the hard copy NOA) I'm just going to let the rest of the process play out. No point fretting over a text message/email that never was sent out.

Now excuse me while I go check my status update on the USCIS website :) LOL!!

My USCIS Journey...

 

I had an I-485 filing already submitted through an employment-based application. Post-marriage, I submitted an I-130, which after being approved was interfiled with the existing I-485.

08/18/14 - Day 501 - Spoke with Tier 2 IO - said that my I-485 is approved but no card prodn ordered. Asked to call back in 2 weeks if no update.

:) :) I have actually deactivated my USCIS email notifications now, that's what was killing me, each time my phone buzzed I would check in anticipation of an email from USCIS only to find some email from "married but lonely" or some email from " you have won 2 million dollars",

Can you imagine a junk escapee mail coming in every 5 minutes :)

RFE hardcopy arrived today. They wanted two things:

1. The tax return for the most recent tax year for my joint sponsor. ( I submitted a copy of his last 3 or 4 pay stubs with the original package, foolishly).

2. The new computerized copy of my Jamaican birth certificate. ( I submitted, in the original package, the old birth registration form that was being used way back in the day, which is now apparently obsolete)

NB. They also added a second page with a paragraph tell me where the office is in Jamaica that I can get the new birth certificate and state that I can also go online to their website and request it

Sorry I haven't been posting ... busy with life. Nothing new to report on the USCIS side. I guess we won't have anything to report until Dave does his biometrics on Monday.

I did receive my Passport card today and my credit union completed adding Dave to my account ... which is now OUR account. He is very happy to have a bank here in the States.

Hope everyone is well ... and regarding the RFE's ... the way I see it, it's actually a good thing. It means that your applications aren't sitting on shelf somewhere or under a pile being ignored.
