I'd just wait until your appointment date.... Sometimes it'll speed up the process but most likely it won't.

I waited on my appointment date as it was 1.5 hr drive away, and a lot of the people in the March filers thread did a walk in way before their date. I was jealous too.

Now only me and 1 other person have their interview dates, so it def did not help speed up their process since I have a date already and they do not!

Yes, I agree. We're going to go ahead and wait for the appointment date.

Another question:

Online our I-130, AP, and EAD all say "Initial Review", yet, the AOS only says "Acceptance". Is that normal?

You got that right! At least in your case, you have a definite structure to go by as far as steps in the processing. I don't even know what the next step is with my paperwork - I-130 approval? Biometrics? Medical? I not a very patient person by nature, and my life is all about structure, so this process is really testing me ClockWatch2.gifmad.gif

My USCIS Journey...

Yeah your case is a little different, you probably would have been better off doing another I-485 that is based on marriage. If I were you I would set up one of those appointments with info pass and then speak to an immigration officer and see what kind of advice they will give you, if you haven't tried that yet

I thought about sending in a new I-485 filing but then figured I could wait that extra time if it would save me the $1000+ in filing fees. Not to mention potentially (though unlikely) the 6-hour round trip drive to Nashville for the biometrics appointment.

I can continue to work until mid-2014 on my H-1B so I'm in no rush from that standpoint.

Regardless, I'm still impatient to see progress and approvals in my GC case! jest.gif LOL!

Yes, I sent 3 separate checks. I did this in the event one of the forms was incorrect then the payment wouldn't hold up the others.

In other news:

WE GOT OUR NOA1 HARD COPIES!!!

Now for a question:

How long after receiving the hard copy NOA1 do we receive the biometrics letter?
