The case tracker shows our information now. Fingerprint fee accepted on 3/19. How about you? I guess we should be receiving biometrics appointment letter next.

MiNMiLove, yes, I sent out the package a week ago on March 8 (see my signature). We received the text and email notifications that the package had been received and routed to the National Benefits Center. Still waiting for the paper NOA. Hopefully, we'll be able to track the case through the USCIS website by then (still no record in the system when I try).

How about you? Is your case showing up when you enter it into the USCIS case tracker?

Yes most people that does it that way ends up nbc.they process it and send it to your local office for interview.

This is incorrect. Your case may or may not be transferred to a local office, depending on the case load of the NBC and whether they believe the local office can handle additional paperwork. You may or may not have an interview as well. A lot of individuals adjusting from K-1 visas are accepted without an interview.

Mailed on 3/15, still nothing. Anddddd the uscis customer service rep couldn't seem to wrap her brain around why I was calling and what for, despite me explaining that I wanted to see if she could find our stuff. Said she can't look anyone up, not even using his A number.

Whatever. I'll keep waiting, it's 10 calendar days today.

Haven't heard anything too. USCIS received the application on the 16th. I hope we get an email today. We're going crazy. Best of luck!

Fingers crossed! I don't think we did the electronic alters form, so we are stalking the mail.

its super easy... had mine here in L.A. - the worst part was the parking fee :P

I came in showed my letter and he gave me an application where i had to fill out a few things.

After I returned it they called my number immediately. They made a picture (which she did not show me :), take all fingerprint - first all fingers together and thump separately, then each finger .

this lasted less than 10 minutes and I in and out maybe 20 minutes.

nothing to worry about :)

good luck to you
