We ended up not going in early because we didn't want to waste time having to go down twice - he would have had to take off work to try. It really doesn't seem to have slowed down our case at all! If you've got the time though, it can't hurt.

The office is 45-60 mins away I believe so I am just going to keep my appointment I'm thinking.

Just received my biometrics letter in the post :D Appointment date October 22 :D Woohoo :D Can I attempt an early walk in today or is it too early lol.. Have nothing better to do and the application support center is two blocks down from our house :P

That's awesome! Congrats! If it is that close it doesn't hurt to try. :)

Ok so I was worried for nothing! Just checked the mail and Biometrics was there! Appt for Oct. 23rd :) We are on our way. Gonna walk in Monday morning!

Congrats to everyone else that got theirs! Almost there peeps!!! September rocks!!! :D :D :dancing::dancing:

That's so awesome! I'm so glad you got your letter. It is moving fast at this point across the country. After this point I have a feeling it's going to slow down. But September filers are happy.

I have a feeling you may be right. Buttt all I am saying is that it can slow down after the EAD is in production :)...At least that way we will all be kept busy instead waiting by the mailbox lol...

Praying for that lol :)

Though I know no two cases are the same and the same timeline, I'm super encouraged looking at you guys who applied a month before me!

Not enjoying this waiting game- will feel better knowing my packet is accepted and the process is moving...

Yes- a week ago, it got there on Monday. I'm just waiting for the text and emails.... I'll feel better after that- keep thinking about mistakes I 'might' have made on the forms even though I checked and checked and checked them...

Oh I know. I made sure to highlight every signature that I needed and checked and doubled checked everything. You should be hearing soon. From what I seen it takes about 6-10 business days and some are longer then that. Then some are shorter then that as well. Which office did you send it to?

The Chicago lockbox- I'm here on a H-1b so we filed everything concurrently.


I know that I'm well within the 'nothing to be concerned about' timeline, but it's still not a fun waiting game!

Til now I only got 3 sms/emails, my checks have been cashed.

I checked on uscis the cases sent to my email, they are 130,485 and 131.

Should i worry about the EAD one? Now im gonna just wait for the hardcopies

Don't worry you will get it. Everything was in the same package right???

So all my case numbers end in -96 , -97, -98, -99 I think if you are very curious you could try a number up and down of the numbers they give you to see if there is any EAD case. ( I hope I made sense )
