AOS July 2016 Filers

[jsaechao907 17]

@p-ana and @jseachao907 Thanks, I poked around a bit on the website and found this:

If you have questions related to:

Office of Intake Document Production

a filing mailed to the Chicago, Dallas, or Phoenix Lockbox.

For example, you have questions about:

• the reason your submission was rejected.
• how or where to submit an application or petition that should be filed at one of the three Lockbox locations.
• whether we received your application/petition if you filed more than 30 days ago and you have not yet received a receipt notice.
• a recent filing at one of the three Lockbox locations.

I guess we should wait until they haven't gotten back to us for 30 days. I did read in an earlier AOS forum that someone didn't hear back for 3 weeks. It will be three weeks this Thursday, maybe we're just getting impatient. But, it is worrisome that others got a reply back so quickly...

It does test your patience for sure. I didn't receive any text or email even though I sign up for it. I just got my noa in the mail yesterday. I sent my package to the main address in Chicago with tracking . I guess it's luck of the draw.

Maybe this is a stupid question.... Do you have to send 2 checks or can one check for $1070 be mailed?

Thanks!

Question to the group.

I filed my AOS, EAD, and AP this month, which was received by the USCIS on July 11, 2016. I am applying under the EB2 category. Unfortunately, I just learned today by the reading the August bulletin (which apparently covers documents that were received by July 11th) that there will be retrogression for all EB2 applicants, which makes my priority date (June 2014) no longer current.

My questions are:

1. Will the USCIS reject my application for AOS? If so, do I have to re submit the same documents once my category becomes current again? Or will they automatically process my application once my category becomes current?

2. Does this retrogression affect the processing of my application for EAD and AP?

​Thanks in advance.

I don't think any of us can answer this as we don't work for immigration... I would contact them directly to find out.

I sent my to the Chicago lock box last Thursday 7/14 and I haven't gotten any emails or text... how long did you have to wait for your NOA?

I waited almost 14 days...sent on June 27th, received the 29th...when I got my hardcopies they gave the NOA date as of July 11th....I know its so hard to wait!!

The mystery continues....

The mailman just delivered the mail and guess what was in there...something from the DHS! ........Unfortunately it was a rejection notice.

Form I-797C, Notice of Action

no case type; no USCIS alien number; received date of June 30; notice date of July 12 and a returned check for US$1070. Here is the exact wording:

*****

Recently, you submitted an application for immigration benefits. That form was submitted with an extra remittance that is not required to process your application. If you submitted a G-1450 it has been destroyed and will not be returned to you. Otherwise, your payment is being returned to you with this notice. No additional action by you is required at this time.

If you have questions call........1-800-375-5283, etc. etc.....

You will be notified separately about any other case you may have filed.

*****

So, I sent the right amount, but they sent it back....? Well, I'm going to give the government a call. Wish me luck!

I am sorry to hear that.. $1070 is for AOS I-485, if you are submitting N400 should only be around $600? I am not sure, I am assuming you sent them more money..call them and I wish you good luck!!
