October 2016 AOS Filers

[ndifonman 6]

Hey guys,

Anyone else filed for AOS this October? I sent my documents for I-130 and I-485 concurrent filling. I tracked and found out it has been received on the 13th of October by the Chicago USCIS office. I am waiting to receive NOA.

who else filed since this month? I thought I should create this thread so we can share our experiences and questions while waiting...

Good luck guys!

I'm an October filer as well , started a new topic for Newark filers but I guess it's better to be in one general group (everyone from October).

I see that you are also a local Newark person! Let's keep tracking our progress together here, looks like you will receive your NOA first.

Hi all

I-130 and I-485 sent via FedEx yesterday to the Chicago lockbox and due to land tomorrow! Converting from L1-B to GC (hopefully). Will keep you all up to date.

Just a quick update, package arrived and was signed for today. Any ideas as to when they will text/email the info from the G-1145?

Still waiting.

I guess 2 weeks is about the average from what I am reading...

[ndifonman 6]

I got my NOA on the 27th of October, 14 days after I submitted. I believe the next thing is the biometric request. I am hoping it will be soon.

Just wanna keep you guys updated.

Thanks! 2 weeks definitely seems to be the norm at the moment.

Don't panic. USCIS E-Notifications are notoriously bad. I think the recommendation is to wait 30 days, then open a case.
