AOS November 2016 Filers

[LionessDeon 2,060]

I think we both have the same priority date, December 7th. Our package was received at the Chicago office on November 21st and check was cashed on Dec 7th. We never received email or text, but received four letters on Dec 13th

We didn't send our W2, we didn't understand what we needed to send and mistakenly only sent 1040 that we had from turbo tax.

But we did send along with both of ours 1040, some of our pay stubs, I sent four paystubs for my last two months, wife sent four paystubs but those only covered one month as she gets paid every week. Those paystubs do mention our year to date income.

We also sent her savings account statement. Both my wife and I earn in six digits, she is a pharmacist, I'm an engineer, it will be sad to get RFE for this overlook.

Fortunately we didn't receive any RFE mail yet. Our I-485 USCIS case status is still "Fingerprint Fee Was Received", it states "On December 5, 2016, we accepted the fingerprint fee for your I-485,...", but have not received biometric appointment letter yet.

I am hoping we would not receive any RFE for this, someone stated that sometime they just let us know to bring the necessary docs with us at the AOS interview. We will see.

Regardless, we are hopeing for the best and preparing for the worse. We ordered and received our last four years of IRS transcripts just in case we get a RFE, we don't want one more week to wait to reply, and most likely we will need them anyway during the interview.

Good luck with your application, it's sad that it might delay your application, hope they would process your application as soon as they receive your documents.

Thank you. I just put our RFE response in the mail. It should arrive on Tuesday.

Good Luck!

Happy birthday in advance!

I think I will too.

"We use special scanners to read your forms and documents. The scanners will not properly read information that is greyed out, highlighted or corrected using correction fluid or tape".

I used correction tape for 2 or 3 words :'(

Thank you !

..and well, let's wait and see...there's always a chance it still might be readable and again...IF that RFE comes, should be quick to fix... maybe not as quick as Lioness(!!) but still..

[LionessDeon 2,060]

Ha!

They asked for 3 things. I sent them 6 plus a short cover letter with bullet point outline. 2 out of the 3 they asked for they already have. Not sure why they asked for them again, but I sent it.

Pray that works.

I will be looking at you... My dates are exactly the same as yours... No RFE yet... No biometrics mail yet.

Hmm...you sure it's not "fingerprint fee has been accepted" that you've seen? I've seen some ppl call this "biometrics fee" which is not what it's called on the site though.

Yeah they literally said they got an update saying "biometrics appointment letter has been mailed."

Hm ??? maybe they got confused and read it wrong. I know I'm not crazy lol ?

Oh well, I'll just keep checking the mail obsessively ?

Hey Guys,

Probably it is the holidays coming and I am simply impatient, but how long after sending the package you got any "news"? we sent the G1145 for email confirmation too, and the package got there on the 18th, and we received nothing yet! So I am just wondering what are the general waiting times, on getting the very first 'sign' that they started to deal with your case? Thanks.

I sent it the 16th, they picked it up the 21st (November) and I received a text message the 9th at midnight. I never received any email though.

Mine arrived on Nov 26th and email notification on Dec 12th, takes a while. I'm also checking the mail obsessively and all we get are bills lol

Hey guys!

We received our hardcopy on Tuesday but the receipt# still isn't working and Today is already the 10th day.

How long did it take for you guys? I just wanna know cause I dont know if im just a little impatient or if its taking too long with my case.

Thank you guys!

[sabellic 33]

I don't remember how long it took, but I was able to use the receipt number before the hardcopies arrived. The USCIS website will conduct system maintenance tonight though, maybe that's why it's not working for you.

Mine took about that time. I just wanna say though that unfortunately for some they never work on there for some reason with no explanation to why. Which wouldn't mean that anything at all is wrong, just that the process is a bit harder to follow. I guess try after the maintenance and idk if they can do anything if youcall them but it's worth a try. I'd give it two weeks before that though

I see..okay, well I am just gonna wait, what else we can do.

At trackitt I saw a few others with exact same date as ours. Our check was cashed on Dec 7th, I haven't seen anyone later than us getting Biometric appointment. The earliest date(check cashed on) that got biometric appointment I saw there is Nov 28th. I am hoping we should get that by Saturday this week or maybe early next week. It's already more than 15 days, I saw the trend is ppl get biometric appointment between 10-14 days.

We will follow your progress as well, good luck!!
