I got my Biometric appointment letter.

It's December 10th at 3pm but I am not sure whether it is a good idea to do early walk-in.

Has anybody tried this recently here in Atlanta? I am trying to go there as soon as it opens in the morning.

two posts have been removed - the first containing an incorrect link and its removal requested by the OP, the second one making a comment in reference to the removed post which now makes no sense so was removed to prevent confusion.

Mailed express package yesterday (AOS with EAD and AP), was signed for today at noon -- so we wait for electronic notification and NOA1 and everything else to come! Glad it's sent, but I do hate the waiting.

[Lynkali 163]

My check shows that it's being cashed this morning (well, "pending" but it takes a day to finalize), so that was pretty quick -- mailed on Tuesday, check cashed either Friday or Saturday! No electronic notification yet, but I expect that will come on Monday or Tuesday.

I'm anxious to at least get the paper NOA1, since that will allow us to do a few things like enroll him in health insurance, and I'd like to do that in the coming weeks.

Wow, that's awesome. I know they got my package last saturday but still haven't cashed my check yet.

[Rich and Wen 101]

AOS, EAD, and AP filed, Express mail, 11/14.

Delivered 11/15

NOA1 received, 11/22

Checks cashed. 11/22

Now waiting for the process to run its course.

[chanhungli 6]

Received our email of NOA1 today for all 3 forms--AOS sent on 11-16-13 signed for 11-18-13, accepted 11-22-13, emailed 11-24-13. We were kind a getting worried, but all is well, it took 6 days to accept and 8 to notify so relax until you have 8 days in the bank.

Regards,

We sent on 11/13 and it was delivered on sat. 11/16. Today we got one notification and the case # for her AOS. Like you, we were getting worried but now it's rolling along.

Sent ours in and it was received november 20th, got our case numbers and NOA! Good luck everyone!

Remember Novembers.... The Sweet spot for EAD/Combo AP is 55 to 65 days. Don't stress, just get your biometrics taken care of, grab a social security number, and enjoy an umbrella drink. Good luck

Hey everybody!

Here a November AOS, I-765 and I-131 filler! I've sent my package on december 6th, got our NOA I-797C letter on November 21st dated on November 18th.

Before I received the actual fysical mail, and since we've applied for the e-notification, we got an email around November 19th were they already confirmed reception of our package. On that email, they specifically say that I should wait to receive the letter on my mail before cheking the case on the USCIS website...

Well, I received the letter on the 21st and as today I still can't see no update in the case...It says the following:

""Your case can not be found at this time in My Case Status. Please check your receipt number and try again. If you need further assistance, please call the National Customer Service Center at 1.800.375.5283.""

So Im like: HERE WE GO WITH THE BULL***** (lol). You all know what I mean...is always delays...

I was just wondering if anybody experienced delays to their case status thing... or I should be worrying... I called USCIS and they told me it is nothing wrong with it and that it can take up to 45 days...so Im like...why would you send an email saying to wait until I receive the letter on the mail if now you are telling me that it can take up to 45 days!!!

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I'M JUST SO READY FOR THIS TO BE OVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I understand your pain, but I wouldn't panic, the online case status is notoriously unreliable. So many people report that their case status never changes or is never found, even months after approval!

By chance, ours IS working correctly, although I was surprised to be honest. We mailed overnight express Nov 19th, check cashed on Nov 22, and got the email notification on Sunday night (??? yes, it came on Sunday night at 9:45) Nov 24. Still waiting for the paper mail NOA1, I thought it might arrive today but it didn't. When I checked our case status Sunday night, it said "not found" but Monday night it suddenly showed up normally.

In short, no one knows how or when the online system will work, but I do sympathize and I'm sorry yours isn't there!
