Welcome to the club Cjax and islandgirl80 :).

Cjax, I filed a month after I was supposed to file too.

islandgirl80: What date did you send your application?

Pikushi: It would be a good idea to call them and rectify it ASAP. Please update your NOA1 receipt date on the list.

BM2014: You should be good as long as they gave you the extension. I hope you have the overdraft protection in case the check is cashed earlier.

USPS notified me of delivery Oct 29, checks were cashed Nov 2.

I didn't receive an extension, just my whole application back as well as a letter denying my request of fee waiver.

So though my application was delivered Oct 7, the first time (3 days before my GC expired) it's late ... I don't know. I know also see that I forgot to put N/A in the questions that didn't apply to us. I think I really messed up the application this time ... :'/

AOS from F-1, maintaining status

August 2010 was introduced to each other during a visit in NY.
01/14/2012: Arrived at JFK with F-1 visa with the intention of studying for three years, and then do OPT. Intention was not to get married!
Yet, almost five semesters as a full-time international student later he proposed ...

04/07/2014: Married in Queens, NY

06/26/2014: I-485, I-130, I-765, I-131 and supporting documents sent to Chicago Lockbox via USPS Priority.

06/30/2014: USPS states delivery happened 6:50 am.

07/07/2014: Received NOA of I-130, I-485, I-131, I-765 dated 07/02. --- What a great 3-month anniversary gift!

07/15/2014: Received Biometrics appointment scheduled 07/31, in Long Island City.

07/31/2014: Biometrics done. Process took 45 minutes. 99% was waiting time. Awesome people working there. Good experience!

08/06/2014: Case i-485 updated to Testing & Interview on uscis.gov - - Yay!

08/29/2014: Updates on I-765, card in production as well as I-131.

09/04/2014: Update on I-485, interview scheduled for October 10th, 2014.
09/08/2014: Received combo-card. Went straight to Social Security office to get SSN.
09/15/2014: Received Social security card in mail.
10/10/2014: Interview at Long Island City. Took no more than 10 minutes. Was simple, normal questions. Was approved on spot.

ROC

10/07/2016: USPS stated I-751 was delivered. Also sent in fee waiver request.
10/19/2016: Got everything back, with denied fee waiver. They misspelled my name. Makes me wonder if they even read my application. My name is all over the papers.
10/25/2016: Sent in ROC (I-751) again, with USPS.

10/29/2016: I-751 delivered again.
11/2/2016: Checks cashed
12/16/2016: Biometrics done in LIC, Queens.

Hi fellas!

Finally the day came and we sent the application in 10.31.2016

But so far they didn't cash the check! All I know is that, the package was delivered by usps in 11.02.2016

Should I start worrying or is it normal?

Thanks in advance for any reply.

I am not sure why you should be worrying? Probably next week you will see your check cashed and about the same time you will be receiving the NOA1 in your mailbox. The biometric appointment letter will follow in another 2 to 4 weeks time. If you did not receive your bio appointment even after 4 to 6 weeks of the NOA1 date, you can think about calling them and inquiring.

Help!

We sent in our I-751 and I received a receipt. When I go to the website to check status I get an error that it does not recognize our receipt #. The error I get is: If you need further assistance, please call the National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283.

The phone # to call is a nightmare of animated messages and no way to talk to a human. Does anyone have any suggestions or other contact #'s I could possibly call to talk to someone?

Thanks so much,

Dayle

I called USCIS and they've put in a request as to why I haven't received biometrics apt notice yet. Now I wait some more...

You need to wait for the receipt number on your biometrics apt letter. The one on the I-797 doesn't work for their electronic system. When I called this morning I asked if they have a number I could use for now, but she said no, I need to wait for the biometrics letter.

I called 1-800-375-5283, chose option 2 that I have question regarding an existing case, then I chose that I don't know my receipt number - the WAC number on the I-797 won't work so don't bother using it. I only waited about 2 minutes before I got an operator.
