I did the same for the timeline. Hopefully some of the mods see this issue and fix it so that there is an option for one who is doing AOS via LPR. Best of luck!

Thank you. Appreciate the support and kind words. Best of luck to you! :)

Take it easy and enjoy your weekend first. Sooner or later you will get the FP notice. Even if it gets lost, they will update the online status soon and you can contact USCIS if you still don't receive the notice by then. Just be patient. I'm doing the same here smile.png

In my multiple dealings with USCIS I have never received an email/text prior to receiving the hard copy of the biometric notice. But that is me. Take it with a grain of salt. :)

Did you file 130 and 485 concurrently in August? So far many filers who have filed 130 before August got the FP notice. I just wanted to know if filers who have filed concurrently can also get the FP notice this early.

We have not received the EAD but are dropping out. Why pay the international student fee when we don't have to? So in answer to your question, once you get the receipts you are in "pending adjustment of status" and no longer need to retain F-1 status. Some keep it as a backup just in case their AOS is rejected. We have been married 4 years (going on 5) and feel that there should be no reason to deny our case. Therefore we are not continuing with school. Besides my wife would prefer staying home with the kid.

Best of luck with either choice. :)

4 years of marriage and a child, that's more than enough to prove to USCIS that your marriage is not for immigration benefit. I read somewhere that the longer you have been married, the less scrutiny will be on your case.

I see you guys have received FP notice, if this trend continues then I hope to receive mine by mid week.

Bokar83 keep us posted with your attempted walk in for FP.
