If the beneficiary did finger prints on entry in USA, at POE, I assume no finger print appointment will be required again. Correct?

Anyone else in this situation?

What should we expect for a biometrics?

Anybody else didn't get their hard copies NOA1 after 10 days or more?

From most people's timeline, they got theirs after 4 days.

It's been 10 days for me and I didn't get anything in the mail yet. :clock:

I sent my paperwork on 2/4 and got my hard copies on 2/23.

We mailed our I-485 package on 2/16/2016 express overnight. They haven't cashed the check or have we gotten a response. How can you check online? With no numbers? And where?

Thanks

If you filled out form G-1145, they will send you a text or email specifying they got your case and the receipt number.

This is the number you use to look up your case number online.

Did you do return receipt?

The first notice we got was by email, then text. Shortly after that the check was cashed- saw that by me bank account. Then we got the return receipt in the mail. Still have not received the hard copy in the mail.

There is a case number in the email and that is how we can check status on website.

I just called them to see why I didn't get the hard copies yet.

The 2 people I talked to were very nice. The hard copies were sent a long time ago and they don't know why I didn't get them.

I also inquired about my biometrics appointment and I'm glad I did because it's already been set. They gave me the date, time and location and told me to contact them again if I don't get the letter by mail.

I sent my paperwork on 2/4 and got my hard copies on 2/23.

Same here. There are plenty of people waiting past the 10 days for hard copies ....

No sign of a biometrics appointment for me yet either. Not too worried, just hoping they don't give me only a few days notice to get to one.

K1, EAD/AP + AOS + ROC = 0 RFE's
