April 2016 AOS Filers

[shrb 5]

Did you receive a tracking number? Or are you just using that "My USPS dashboard" that was recommended earlier in this thread?

I didn't get a tracking number and no packages are coming up in my USPS account.

I got my NOA for EAD today, as well. But my actual EAD doesn't show up in my USPS tracker:(

My status changed on Friday to say that they mailed it, I was really excited and checked USPS all the time ever since.

The "package" appeared today, 3 days later, so they don't exactly ship it when the status changes... It just means they have it ready to be shipped.

After some hours my status changed again saying that USPS had picked up my card (thanks for letting me know, lol) and it says the tracking number... I observed though, that that doesn't apply to everyone, and I think it depens on how officers deal with your case.

USPS tool is pretty accurate so you'll see it there soon, fingers crossed!

Good luck!!!

When i try to sign up for the dashboard, i always fail at the validation questions...! None of the answers given apply to me! And then you get locked for 72hours.. Anyone else with this problem?

Here!!!

I could never set up MY profile. Seems that USPS is not recognizing us as residents or whatever... My workaround was using hubby's.

Thanks for the tip! :-)

Moslund, whats your status?!

"Fingerprint fee recieved" from calling teir 2 I did find out my case was transferred to a Texas local office 2weeks ago for processing since NBC has a flood of application there transferring allot of I-485 to other locations to help even the work load... Teir 2 also stated cause it's still processing nothing has been noted on my case about RFE or ready to be scheduled for interview... most people get them updates around day 30-50 I'm day 114 and still not even there yet... I'm in it for the long haul I probably won't hear anything for the next 2-3 months... As of May 31st Harlingen, TX was processing December cases so technically right now they should be on early feb cases and my case is start of April... Since it went to a local office teir 2 states it won't be looked at til they get to April batch so if I get a RFE it won't be until then -sigh- my case status doesn't even reflect a transfer took place either... I think I'm going to be 1 of these people may 2017 rolls round and I'm still awaiting my GC

I haven't been able to do so either. I haven't tried with my husband yet, but I have a theory as to why it happens.

I got my SS card right after I got married and when I went to their website to set up the online account, I got validation errors, saying that they couldn't confirm my identity. I called and they told me that they use information on your credit record to validate your identity (I find it kinda outrageous that credit reports get used for such things) so because I don't have credit yet, I'm not on the records.

I imagine something similar happens with USPS. All the questions seemed to be about someone else, so it's probably something related to us not having credit or something to compare the answers. I imagine the questions I got asked were with info from previous tenants of my apt.

I tried to sign up under my husbands name yesterday and it worked perfectly fine!

I called too the first time I tried, and after waiting eternally to be transferred to someone from IT support, they told me that they use a third-party service for this verification and that they can't control the questions or the answers nor override the verification process if we just can't make it work after several attempts, so we're basically out of luck.

I don't think credit had much to do with it to be honest (well... At least not for USPS) The first time I tried this, since months ago, I didn't have any personal credit whatsoever. If I try again today, that I do have my own credit, I still have the same issue.

I remember that when we set up husband's user, his questions were the same as mine (like you said, many of them seem to be based on prior tenants that lived here before) but one. The last question was regarding an old personal phone that he had years ago. I think it's more about the addresses that you've lived according to USPS in the past, than credit. We're fine on the credit standpoint, but I'm afraid we're nobodies for USPS.

Does anyone has the same weird/awkward situation like me?

Got a text saying: we have updated your i130 on 7/29.
When I login to the case, it is still the same showing status from April: "Case have been received." Is there a system error?

[ElliePro 32]

Just got tracking information on the USPS dashboard. My EAD was mailed today and they used a 3-day priority. Seems like it (2-day or 3-day) depends on how close you are to Kansas City, MO lol

Ugh thats crazy and so frustrating. Still...you never know. At least it is at a field office. Maybe you can make an infopass?

Teir 2 told me if I want anymore info to go do an info pass appointment... I talked to my lawyer he said cause it's at a local office already if they schedule me for an interview it will be at the correct office so I have nothing to worry about with regards to that... It's basically just a waiting game until they come across the April filers batch... Hoping to an update within the next 60days... At this point calling Uscis or going to an info pass serves no purpose until the Harlingen office surpasses April batch which should be in roughly 2-3montha time
