December 2013 AOS Filers

[Laura. 90]

Hey, thanks for replying J&A, and Laura, time flies doesn't it?

Its AP I want the most, am hoping to take my kids back to the UK for Spring break in March. I could try a walk-in (its a 30 min drive so not bad) but I have to take my kids out of school and risk rejection and then have to take them out again for the time we have the actual appointments for and I don't know if its worth it or if it will really speed anything up.

Aside from that we're doing well! Hope y'all are too!

Time sure does fly. It's nearly 3 months since my husband and I got married, I keep thinking how is it 3 months already?! Almost a year since we filed for the K1 too!

I'm hoping for my AP soon too, I'd really like to get back to the UK for my dad's birthday at the beginning of next month. I got my biometrics done as soon as I could in the hope I'd get lucky and get the AP early, but that doesn't look likely now.

Have you checked the thread where people have come back and said if their early biometrics were successful? If your ASC usually allows it, it might be worth it for you to go early.

Finally received an update on our case by txt message. They received all RFE and we should expect an update within 60 days of today. Wow, back to waiting again.

Hi everyone!! So its been 5 days since I got my biometrics done on my scheduled date and last night I recieved an email and text message stating that my i 485 status had been updated so I quickly logged in and checked it. It moved from Initial Review to Testing and Interview.Anyone know what this means?? As far as i765 and i130 no update yet. Is this good or bad?

Congo!!!...you have got your interview date set...or they will be sending out the interview date out to you soon....same thing with me as far as i765 and i130 goes....they are processed in separate paths...so I guess you shouldn't worry about it...just start preparing for the interview

hi there, looks like things are going great for you guys, i had my biometrics Jan 9 , tomorrow it will be my 3rd week from that but my status is still in acceptance stage, no updates , no letter about interview and all, should i be worried about it? my AP and EAD show they are on initial review.

I'm in the same situation. It's 4 weeks tomorrow since I did my biometrics and nothing has changed. AOS is still in Acceptance and AP/EAD in Initial Review.

Same situation it is 3 weeks since we did our biometrics & nothing has changed on our status.

Right - I had biometrics done in Boston on 16th jan and no update from the initial changes to my uscis case status back in December (acceptance for i485, initial review for i131 and i765). Slightly nervous as have flights booked back to the UK for 1st march to show our newborn to my family there. Anyone have any ideas as what to do if we don't hear back in the next couple of weeks - doesn't really qualify as an emergency (my mother would probably think otherwise however )

Our I485 has been updated to testing and interview. AP and EAD are still in initial review. Biometrics were done on 01/09.

Hey imma join the group if nobody minds. We sent off my AOS late November, NOA1 was December 3rd and my biometrics was done January 2nd. No update, no nothing!

Does anybody know if the national benefits center has an email address? I only see the phone number on my letters.

[Laura. 90]

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Just got an update that we're in Testing & Interview now.

Still nothing on AP/EAD.
