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

Curious, do you have to show valid ID for the biometrics appt?

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.

Yes, we're able to view all three applications in the case tracker now, too. Whew! The fingerprint fee was accepted on March 11 for us. Just waiting for biometrics, which, judging from others' updates in this forum, should come relatively soon. We've received the paper copies of the NOA1, but not sure when they arrived as we just returned to MN from our honeymoon. (L)

Oh man :(

Oh no!! :(

So sorry to hear that!

Did they return your entire package? Do they explain what needs to be corrected??

They returned the whole package. I don't really understand why. It says

This is in reference to the I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, you submitted. Your I-485, fees, and any supporting documentation is being returned to you for the following reason(s):

The application/petition has not been fully completed. One or more of the following field(s) were not completed:

- Application Type

Which I did. Everything was in order. I have selected option (a) for application type.

I reprinted all forms, signed, checked, and went to USPS. Hopefully everything is ok.

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.
