January 2015 AOS fillings

[NellyandNicky 3]

Don't see one for January yet.

Filed on Jan 7th, through FedEx 2 days, at 7:30pm.

Tracking number informed me it was delivered at Chicago 3rd floor location at 12:35pm on Friday (January 9th).

Filing from Georgia, so our case should be at the Atlanta office, which I heard is pretty backed up.

Waiting patiently for e-mail/text.

Will update once I get it.

Thank you visajourney for all the help!!!

Received 11 text messages and an email from USCIS about the receipt form I-797, at 5:54pm (Jan 13th).

The number does not compute in their site. The e-mail says it would recommend me to only check when I get my hard copy on the mail, so I guess is too soon to report anything...

[NellyandNicky 3]

Was able to add the receipt numbers now (Jan 14th 2:26pm EST).

I130,permission to travel and work permit was accept on Jan 9th, I485 accepted on Jan 12th.

Hello, I have been reading the forums without registering for awhile. I finally mailed my AOS package yesterday. I hope to have more to add soon...

Hey! and welcome to VJ.

A little bit about my case.

Got here on B2 visa, stay to help my sister with her kid (she was feeling alone, didn't know anybody here and spoke little English).

A year or so after she got her citizenship and was working on applying for me, I met my wife and we married about 6 month after.

We married on April of last year and applied Jan 7th.

We have a co sponsor, as my wife's job hours is irregular, and she don't have a whole year working yet, or ever file any taxes.

Received all hard copies of the receipt on the mail today (Jan 17th).

Does anyone know that for this time of the year I submit last year tax return (2013) or this year return (2014)? I try to submit all of my application by the end of this month. Thanks!!!

NellyandNicky: Thanks for your wecome! I am glad that your case seems to be making progress through the system

tam3010: I submitted last year's tax return. I think it is ok because this year's tax return is not due till April.

[Nathan99 4]

@SickofPaperwork: Thank you! I guess I will submit 2013 tax returns then.

Got my biometrics appointment on the mail just now (Jan24th), for Feb 5th. Will attempt a walk in Monday morning.

[NellyandNicky 3]

Got the walk in today. No problem

@NellyandNicky: Glad that you are progressing so quickly Did they ask you anything when you do the walk in biometrics? Do you need an excuse to do it early? Thanks!

Guys,

I'm wondering -where were your NOAs and Biometrics letters mailed from?

That is - what was the zip code on the red USPS stamp on the envelopes?

I mailed AOS to Chicago lockbox - the NOAs indicate that they will be processed in Missouri (National Benefits Center)

and the case numbers correspondingly start from MSC.

BUT the NOAs were mailed from the zip code of the USCIS office in Phoenix AZ.

It may be the case that USCIS subdivides work between offices in reality - and different offices have different speed of processing.

@vvvIII: I checked and my NOA was mailed from Phoenix AZ as well. That is probably where their mailing center is located.
