August 2014 AOS filers

[Tina and Johan 206]

It might just be that your local office is a little busier than mine. From the older threads, I saw that timing varies a lot so hang in there! Here is the complete message I got:

Your I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS is now ready for interview scheduling. When scheduling is complete, you will receive a notice with a time and place for your interview. If you have not received the notice within 30 days of the date the notice is mailed, please call customer service at 1-800-375-5283 for further assistance. Please check our website at www.uscis.gov for further updates on your case. If you move, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address.

If your case status indicates that you are currently in this step, you have either been scheduled for an interview or are in line to be scheduled for an interview. The amount of time your application will remain in this step will vary by office and is largely determined by the number of cases ahead of yours. The interview notice will have specifics about time, location and anything you will need to bring to your interview. If your application remains pending beyond our normal processing times (as shown below) please contact our national customer service center at 1-800-375-5283.

So then my question is, if you're at this stage, does this mean that you will get zero RFEs? Has it been looked at and now it's moving forward to interview?

From what I understand, you can still get RFEs until the interview gets scheduled. There are people who stayed in this stage for 2-3 months waiting for the interview scheduling and got RFEs during that time. And then there are the people who got the interview letter two weeks after this notice, so you never know. I am personally rooting for the second scenario!

Definitely hoping you get the second scenario as well! *fingers crossed*

Well hopefully we start getting some more activity soon. My status is the same as yours Tina and John. I-130 initial review, I-485 acceptance, and I-765 in initial review. Cross checked a thousand times, so hoping for no RFE, and the bio letter next.

Today I brought my husband to his Biometrics appointment in St. Paul at 10:00 am. There was barely anyone there. The Security guy was a right grump and reminded us of a grumpy Customs Officer. Anyway we only had to wait for a couple mins for him to get called on after sitting down. They took his fingerprints and took his picture. The woman who did this was a very nice lady. She also said it will be 2-3 weeks until he gets his EAD which would make it a month ahead of schedule since we just filed for AOS/EAD/AP in early August. Has anyone else been told when their EAD would come from one of these people?

That's awesome! Are the EAD/AP handled by the local office (in your case the St Paul office?)

Maybe they know how busy they are and the process times...that helps! The Boston one I went to was fairly busy, didn't tell me any estimates..

[corvusheart 163]

No I don't believe it's handled by the local office.

New Visa Fees Quick question, Will AOS August filers be required to pay the $120 for financial affidavit review (dometically reviewed) as per new fees? This is the only increase I see that may affect our filing. Thoughts?
