Yep it got there on June 30th. We sent it via certified mail.

We honestly don't mind the waiting part. We'd geared ourselves up for a wait before we heard about EAD/AP and then an even longer wait for the green card. I'm not about to flood the forum with posts about the agonies of waiting. However, it would be nice to know that they've actually opened the envelope and have it safe somewhere :P

I hear you ?.. But where you able to received emails or txts that they got em?

Just chiming in, but we're still waiting for the notification of acceptance, NOA1 etc. Very glad that we chose to send it via certified mail, so at least I know it got there!

That's what I'm saying, we haven't received any communication from them at all. No emails, no texts and no NOA1 in the post. I'm just glad we decided to send it via certified mail so we at least know it's in their mail room somewhere.

12 days seems to be longer than average but some say to give it a month. i recently read of another poster who did not send hers with tracking and waited about 3 weeks to get the NOA1 in the mail. i wouldn't worry yet, although i know it's easier said than done :lol:

Flying to Seattle on 6 May 2014!

There is member here got her NOA-1 after several weeks. Luckily you used certified mail. She did not have tracking number to check her package. Fortunately she got hers, finally. Wait until next week, if you did not hear anything, probably better started to make a call like she did.

weird, mine arrived a few days before my biometrics appt letter. can't be a problem with the address since you got the biometrics notice fine. maybe they'll be there in a few days.

and yes, that is normal for the letter to only say I-485 and I-765. I-131 doesn't require biometrics. :)

Flying to Seattle on 6 May 2014!

You could try - it seems to be a general rule for all CUNY schools. All the best to you! I graduate this winter and will be moving on with my own business. Hopefully EAD will be in the mail soon ;)

AOS from F-1, maintaining status

August 2010 was introduced to each other during a visit in NY.
01/14/2012: Arrived at JFK with F-1 visa with the intention of studying for three years, and then do OPT. Intention was not to get married!
Yet, almost five semesters as a full-time international student later he proposed ...

04/07/2014: Married in Queens, NY

06/26/2014: I-485, I-130, I-765, I-131 and supporting documents sent to Chicago Lockbox via USPS Priority.

06/30/2014: USPS states delivery happened 6:50 am.

07/07/2014: Received NOA of I-130, I-485, I-131, I-765 dated 07/02. --- What a great 3-month anniversary gift!

07/15/2014: Received Biometrics appointment scheduled 07/31, in Long Island City.

07/31/2014: Biometrics done. Process took 45 minutes. 99% was waiting time. Awesome people working there. Good experience!

ROC

10/07/2016: USPS stated I-751 was delivered. Also sent in fee waiver request.

This is odd. I went to Baruch and was told I could get a tuition refund since I didn't have a physical GC, I was told that I can file an appeal once I get the green card. I am gonna go show them the page you posted .

Well, on to the next step hopefully soon! Rec'd a text notification on our cases on Friday. Once logged in, it states "Your I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS is now ready for interview scheduling"!! WOo HoooOoO!!! Now to wait and see when it is actually scheduled. I tried to review some profiles (via timeline) but couldn't really gauge how long it takes to have interview actually scheduled. Any thoughts on this?

Side note: The crazy thing is that the employment auth is still under initial review.... interesting. :clock:

that is awesome! sometimes, although rare, when the interview is scheduled shortly after the application is sent in, the EAD may not arrive before the interview. in that case, you may not get the EAD at all, or need it, since you'd have your green card in hand sooner.

i think when the interview will be scheduled depends on how busy your local office is. could be a few weeks to a few months. i'm excited for you!

Our biometric appt was on 07/02/14 and our case was updated on 07/11/14, so it only took 9 days (5/6 business days since 4th of July was in the mix) Pretty fast!! Totally not sure how soon it will be scheduled yet though...fingers crossed for soon! :)
