Massive congrats!

Also, a general question to all, when it says case is ready to be scheduled, does that mean you have to log in somewhere and pick a date (similar to the K1 consulate interview), or do they follow up with a date that you need to show up?

They schedule the interview for you.

Please don't feel like you're bragging! Our case has hit every delay possible and it's driving me insane, so seeing good news here reminds me that we will get there eventually. Nothing but happiness f

My husband's I-485 case status just changed to "case is ready to be scheduled for an interview"! But we haven't gotten a single word about his EAD and AP. Is that normal?

Congrats! I'm in the same boat.

Please update us when you get notified of an interview date, my status has been on "case is ready to be scheduled for an interview" for 2 weeks now with no new update.

yep you're right!

On the top right of your biometric notice, what code does it classify? I copied this from another user:

Code 1 is for fingerprinting of all 10 fingers. This is electronically sent to FBI the same day, they run it to match thru their database to match it with criminals/persons of interest and send the results the same day (or the next) to USCIS. Code 1 is very important as it is part of your security/background check and determines admissibility for GC. Code 1 expires after 15 months e.g. FBI needs to check their database again.

Code 2 (right index finger only+photo+sign) is for the generation of cards for immigration benefits e.g. EAD, GC etc. If you filed for EAD, you definitely need code 2 or the card can not be generated. Code 2 is done everytime we apply for a benefit.

Code 3 (fingerprinting all 10 fingers+photo+sign) is a combination of both, when USCIS wants to get a security check done on you as well as generate card.

Yup, I am code 2 haha! Good thing as I managed to get a papercut this morning, which was frustrating because I was so careful for the past weeks. ( The Guard said I was good as it was on top of my finger!)

We arrived At 7:45 and Doors opened at 8. I was out by 8:20 haha!

No, I came here on a K-1 visa. Hubby thinks maybe because montreal did my 10 fingers and am Still within the 15 months limits for the code 1 validity I was a class 2.

This is a good question.

I did mine at Montreal too (a few months ago) so I thought it was odd that I had to get full fingerprints here. Then again, I was seriously struggling with mine in Montreal ... sweaty hands from being nervous haha.

K1, EAD/AP + AOS + ROC = 0 RFE's

 

Next step: Citizenship!

Coming from K-1 and Montreal and I was a code three. I did my interview January so I don't think that has to do with it maybe it's just what certain ASC's require.

Hold onto your hat its going to be a bumpy ride!!

It's so odd. Makes me think something was wrong in my

Petitions. We'll see.

I really hope I don't have to go again. As it's in the Bronx, my husband doesn't want me to go on my own, so it means he has to miss work.

Did the notice state biometrics for both i765 and i485?

I think someone in the March forum indicated that their letter only mentioned 1 of the 2 and and an officer told them that this sometimes happens. they send the 2 seperately ..so that means 2 different bio appointments
