August 2016 AOS filers

[Bryle 14]

Meee tooo. Sooo stressed and anxious...in a good way. Coz we've all finally submitted. The waiting game has begun.

[RxM16 10]

Timeline:

August 2016 - USCIS Received Package

August 23 - Checkes Cashed

August 29 - Received NOA for i-130 (Petition for Alien Relative), i-485 (Application to Register Permanent Resident), and i-765 (EAD) - Priority date is August 16, 2016

What's next? Biometrics?

Looking forward to EAD (Hopefully end of October or early November) and finally, the much awaited Interview. (January?)

If anyone could give an estimate timeline for the rest that'd be great! :-D

AOS processed here in San Jose, CA.

Thanks so much guys!

Yes, you should be waiting for your biometrics in the mail now. For some it's just takes a matter of days after the NOA is received, approximately 6 days is the earliest. However, for some like me, it takes longer. I haven't received my biometrics letter yet and its been 9 days since I received the hard copies of my NOAs. I hope you have yours sooner than later.

EAD is usually on time about 75 days or 3 months so you should received it by end of October or early November as you are expecting. And I hope it'll be sooner too!

After biometrics, schedule of interview depends on how packed is the local office you'll be assigned to. If it's in San Jose, CA, as I checked USCIS they have a little backlogged. Still processing cases from November 3, 2015. So you can expect the interview next year. Maybe around March? I am not quiet sure though. But again, I hope everything would be sooner!

I think my case will be in San Jose, CA

Are those processing time on the website really accurate?

I really hope not

I remember when I was working on my J1 waiver case, it's form I-612. When I checked their processing time, it says they are still working on the case of September, 2015. I only submitted my case on October, 2015. However, my case has been approved but the website still shows they are currently working on the September, 2015 cases.

But maybe I-485 info is more accurate? I am just saying all those to make myself feel better! ??

Still waiting for the biometric mail

Thanks so much for replying! :-)

For the EAD, should I count the days from the day USCIS received it? (August 16)

Well, let's hope you are right! But keep the faith, you'll never know it might be earlier as we expect. I am still waiting for my biometrics letter too! hope we have it really soon! I am so excited for that, hehe

Yes. From the received date in your NOA.

Important Information About Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization

You can submit an inquiry about your Form I-765 if your case has been pending more than 75 days.

Haha, I was expecting my EAD card by late Oct. Am I expecting too much? lol

When i was applying EAD card under F-1 visa, i got it in 2 months and 5 days. So if I based on that timeline, we could get EAD card in mid October.

I'm just giving myself a flexible timeline and of course I want it sooner. EAD card is 3 month process, soo I'm expecting to get on around Nov 5.

well, hopefully they can go faster.

I am in NJ, and they are processing cases from July 2015 Although I read on other posts that it is more an 8-10 month wait......

So if you get just the EAD....then you can start working. It sounds like many are having backlog issues with their local USCIS offices, myself included for

Milwaukee, WI. It says processing AOS cases from December 2015?? That's like 9 months? I sure hope we don't have to wait that long to receive the EAD, AOS,

and AP. If the EAD process is about 3 months, then we should get it in late October.

Still waiting.....for my Biometrics letter.
