February 2016 AOS Filers

[goolia 54]

Woohoo! Received my NOA1 text messages and e-mails at 12:30 am last night. Let the waiting begin.

(I sent my package in on the 4th and it says it was received on the 9th).

I understand that biometrics is next. How does that work... do we wait for an e-mail? Do they send a letter by mail alerting you to your date? Does anyone know how soon after the NOA1 this should be arriving?

Hi All - I just joined this thread. My wife and I sent our AOS package by FedEx last Wednesday and received in Chicago on Thursday 2/11. Our check cleared the back yesterday and we also received the text and email notification acknowledging receipt by USCIS.

We filed I-485, I-131 and I-765 together. My question is, should we have received a case number for each of the 3 or just one for all 3? We only received one MSCxxxx case number and I was thinking there should be one for each.

Lastly, I've always been confused what the NOA1 date should be. Is it the date that is in the email confirmation that the case was received, in our case it's 2/16. Or, is it the date that is printed on the hardcopy i-797?

Good luck to all and let's hope all of our AOS's go quickly and smoothly.

I received three different case numbers, they were all identical apart from the last digit in each one. Though it does say (Form I-797) beside each one so maybe double check yours. I always go with the NOA1 date for when I receive the e-mail and then change it if the date on the actual letter is different.

You should get 3 of them. The email/text should say what the receipt was for (I-130 ....).

Yes, Biometrics are next. You will receive a letter in the mail. You wont receive any e-notification, online status will only state, " we have received your fingerprint fee". So keep an eye on the mail.

You should receive 3 case numbers for each filing . In my case the I-485 was MSCxxxxxxxxx5 , the I-131 was MSCxxxxxxxxx6 and the I-765 was MSCxxxxxxxxx7. Also, you should receive 3 separate NOAs in the mail with different case numbers as previously stated. If i'm not wrong NOA1 is when your application was received and entered into the system. Someone correct me if i'm wrong.

Wow for me it's been 18 days and no NOA1, now I am officially worried, anyone else in the group sent out there in for early this month and got no NOA1?
