Mine still hasn't updated. Has said fee accepted since March 15.

Received my I-765 today accepting the fee for biometrics and I-485. My I-693 will be ready from the Civil Surgeon this coming Wednesday. Does anyone have any advice on where it should be sent to? I can call the service center but wanted to ask here as well too as people may have some positive or negative experiences to share on this topic. Also how long is the Fee for Biometrics acceptance status on the case status page been running before being updated to the next step? Thanks bunches for the help.

Not sure on the first question about sending the I-693. I would think it would be best to wait if they send you an RFE as they have a paper that would tell them where to put said-I-693. But like I said, I'm not sure on that.

"Fee for Biometrics" message probably won't change until your EAD/AP cards are being made and sent. AOS won't change to say something else until like a month (or more sometimes) after your biometrics happens. That's the trend I'm seeing in the February AOS filers. Mine hasn't changed since they posted that message on March 7.

Hello friends!

About 5 minutes ago I got a notification that my I-131(my travel application) has been APPROVED. I've checked my EAD and my AOS on the USCIS website and they haven't been touched since Mar 16th but I'm hoping there is some movement on them soon! I'll keep everyone updated!

My goodness, please do. This could mean you're getting the EAD, first one if this group (unless I missed someone else). It gives me hope! We want the EAD so bad right now

Anyone gotten their EAD yet? Anyone know if they are moving quickly or average timed? I know 90 is the usual

Called NSC and spoke with agent. Advised that there were two options for sending in the I-693 after the I-485 application submission. 1) Mail with the letter of receipt for the I-485 to the address of the last communication listed on the bottom left regarding the application. 2) Schedule an interview with infopass at a local immigration office and submit it during an interview that could be scheduled online.

I reviewed the infopass site for the seattle office and could get an appt in two weeks and reserved it for May 2nd. I figured that not only would handing the I-693 with Medical and Vaccination records directly to someone where it could be confirmed received same day be a good thing but it would also give us face to face time to confirm any outstanding issues or questions we might have.

The rep at NSC stated that frequent processing errors in handling applications are very common. It was one of those, "ya think" moments.

Hello everyone!

As promised, here is my update. Today, my I-131 updated to the following status:

"Advance Parole Document Was Produced

On April 19, 2016, we produced your Advance Parole Document for your Form I-131, Application For USCIS Travel Document, Receipt Number MSCXXXXXXXXXX."

So, I think I should have one more update where it tells me that it's in the mail!
