You can look up processing times for your local field office here: https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/processTimesDisplayInit.do?locale=en-US

If there are no delays, it should say something like "4 months". Otherwise, it will show the filing date of the last case that was completed in that office. For Chicago, it shows that as of 4/30/14, they are working on cases from 7/26/13.

For some perspective, for San Diego, as of 4/30/14, they are working on cases from 12/4/13, and I have not received anything yet. So you may have to wait longer than me, that's my best guess.

For those that have had their interview date already scheduled, can you check your local office processing times and let us know? Maybe we can some hints on when we may receive our interview dates.

hey thanks for the info, can you tell me when did you file your AOS? or please update your timeline? thanks

Ours also begins with MSC because that is where our application is initially routed for processing. However, processing times are determined by each local field office since that is where the final adjudication takes place. You can find your local field office here: https://egov.uscis.gov/crisgwi/go?action=offices.type&OfficeLocator.office_type=LO

Thanks. I see it is based on your location.

Hi All!

I've been reading your timelines and stories and I am so happy most of you are within the home stretch of finishing this process! I came here to see what the general timelines were like as I also filed for my husband in March 2014. I am the petitioner and a US Citizen.

I'm getting pretty worried as we have not had an update yet ever since we sent in our RFE response. :cry:

For reference, here is our timeline so far:

March 18, 2014 - AOS Package Filed [i-485, I-130, I-765] and sent via USPS Priority
March 24, 2014 - AOS Package Received & Online Case Status Updated to Initial Review

March 27, 2014 - NOA1 Notices Received for all Forms in Mail

March 31, 2014 - Received Biometrics Appointment Date in Mail

April 23, 2014 - Scheduled Biometrics Appointment Completed

April 29, 2014 - RFE Received for I-485
May 18, 2014 - RFE Response sent via USPS Express Mail
May 20, 2014 - Online Case Status Updated to Request For Evidence Response Review and RFE Received

I am so worried as I see other similar stories who received RFEs and dealt with it, but did NOT see any delay in their EAD processing like we are. We have not received any notices thus far about it being approved nor has the Online Case Status changed for either the I-130 or I-765. Both are still stuck in Initial Review.

I understand the RFE will delay it a bit, but it's been almost 3 weeks since they have received our response and nothing has changed. All we want is at least a notice for a testing & interview date or a status change for the EAD!

Hoping that anyone who has/had any similar delays could chime in so I can assure myself that the delay does not mean anything negative.

AOS from F-1 to Permanent Resident [i-485, I-130, I-175]

March 18, 2014 - AOS Package Filed [i-485, I-130, I-765] and sent via USPS Priority

March 24, 2014 - AOS Package Received & Online Case Status Updated to Initial Review

March 27, 2014 - NOA1 Notices Received for all Forms in Mail

March 31, 2014 - Received Biometrics Appointment Date in Mail

April 23, 2014 - Scheduled Biometrics Appointment Completed

April 29, 2014 - RFE Received for I-485
May 18, 2014 - RFE Response sent via USPS Express Mail
May 20, 2014 - Online Case Status Updated to Request For Evidence Response Review and RFE Received

June 25, 2014 - Text update that EAD card was mailed! Online status change for I-765 to "Card/Document Production"

June 27, 2014 - EAD Card received in the mail!

July 1, 2014 - Text update that notice for Testing & Interview has been mailed! Interview is on August 6th. Online status change for I-485 to "Testing and Interview"

Filed: Citizen (apr) Country: Haiti
