Finally, after 32 days since NOA 1 my receipt numbers are working online.

Thanks for the heads up! Checked mine today and they are finally working! Wuhoo :dancing: My AOS states "Fingerprint Fee Was Received" while the EAD and AP applications say "Case Was Received". Hopefully they got my biometrics data already from last week. Crossing my fingers that everything works out smoothly after this.

Hello all August 2016 AOS filers!

I used this website extensively during June and July to help with our AOS application for my wife. We married in mid-July and filed our official paperwork soon after. She is a Canadian citizen and we are adjusting her status, requesting travel documents, requesting the employment authorization, etc. I thought that since the dust has settled a bit, and since we're now play the waiting game, I thought I would weigh in with our time line so it can help put others minds at ease.

-Documents mailed officially on Aug. 8.

-Document package received at Chicago Lockbox on Aug. 12.

-Received four text messages (I didn't receive any emails) for NOA on Aug. 20.

-Received all four NOA hard copy letters for each of the forms we submitted on Aug. 25.

-Received the biometric screening appointment notice on Sept. 10. The appointment is scheduled for Sept. 23.

From what I have read on here versus what we are experiencing as far as timeliness for each step, we look like the average. So if you are a little bit longer no need to worry at all. Hang in there.

Also, as of last week, my case status on USCIC dot com was listed as "not found" or whatever they use to say that it's not in their reporting system yet. Not too worried about that yet, as other people have had a similar experience with checking their case status. Just tried again and the site was down. Will try again this week.

Thanks for having me in the forum, and I'm looking forward to tracking this process with the rest of you.

Thanks for the info! Glad your case is moving along smoothly. Im still trying to be patient waiting for my biometrics letter.

I wonder what's the matter with those who got hard NOAs copies in the twentieth of August, but haven't received biometric letter yet :clock:

It is really strange and frustrating.

I know right? ?

Our case numbers were finally working in the USCIS website. I expected there to be a more up to date status, but all it says is that they were received, and that the bio screen went out, and if we haven't received anything by a certain date to call a number. That was anticlimactic.

What is everyone's view on going in early for the biometric screening, ahead of the appointment that was scheduled on our behalf? Will going in 10 days early really cut down on the total processing time? Or should we play by the rules and go when we were scheduled?

It depends on the office if they will accept an early walk in. Some offices are fine with it but some are not specially when they have to deal with a lot of people scheduled during the day you plan to walk in. You can take your chance but be ready to be denied.

You're adjusting from a f1 and you need to have an interview, that will be conducted at your local office, so yes, your documents must be there for that.

FINALLY received my Biometrics Letter in the mail today. My appointment is for September 21st in Milwaukee. At last.....

So after doing this step in the process, I'm guessing the EAD and AP should arrive soon after that? I know the getting the

card can take more time.
