Last night, almost midnight, received FOUR notifications by email and sms - one for each of the forms filed :)))

I created my online account for case tracking on USCIS website and 3 cases show "Initial Review" stage while 1 case (I485) shows "Acceptance" stage. Wonder what that means?

Also I485 case status says that my case is being processed at Nebraska Service Center.

- Does that mean I130, I765 & I131 are at Nebraska too?

- Processing times at Nebraska Service Center do not show I485 for Immediate relative (spouse). That's confusing.

- My receipt numbers start with MSC, isn't that supposed to be Missouri? Then, what's my application doing in Nebraska?

Many questions on my mind.... Any inputs would be helpful.

Thanks.

Exactly the same here.

Reporting good news finally! Received SMS and E-mail notifications for 4 forms (130, 485, 765, 131)! Lesson learned: Make sure I-485 does not have your foreign address regardless of where you actually live when you try to adjust status! Woo!

I just did the early walk-in for biometrics in West Palm!

They were super nice and there was absolutely no problem :)

Biometrics done!

Wow! That's awesome.

You got me thinking on this one :) I do have a prior commitment on aug 1st (that's when they have scheduled my biometrics) and would greatly benefit from getting done earlier.

Did they ask you why you wanted a walk-in instead of the assigned date and time? I am attending a week long seminar that starts July 28th and was wondering if showing them my registration print out would be enough to get a walk-in?

Did you get there first thing in the morning?

Henmoh, I doubt you have to show them anything. I just walked in and said I got my letter while I was away - and was hoping to have this done sooner rather than later so I don't have to deal with planning it in. They didn't ask anything just wanted to see an ID, gave me a number and a form to fill out and I was seated. 2 minutes later a lady called me up, checked my form and my ID that I barely finished. She hi-lited my country of citizenship and birth and sent me back. On my way back to the seat, my number was called again and they took a photo + fingerprints. I was literally in-n-out in 10 minutes.

I guess it depends on how busy they are tho. I came in at 9:30..
