Hi.  I've been stressing about my AOS, Ead, AP status.

All of the forms arrived in Chicago on 3/13. I have not received any notification and my check has not been cashed. I didn't expect to have to wait this long for the NOA, its been 3 weeks!  I called USCIS on friday, and one of the agents had me put on a list for another agent to call me back later and help with the case, sadly i wasn't available and didn't talk with them when they called.  So i called back later in the day, talked with a different agent, and they said i would have to call back after 30 days of it being received at the Chicago lockbox.  I'm thinking of calling back tomorrow and trying to talk with an agent that will look into my case.  

 

so 3 weeks officially today, anybody else with a similar wait time?

Mine was received on the 16th, so it's already the 19th day, and I still have nothing from them. You'll have to wait after 30 days to talk to uscis.

 

Btw, do you live in Sacramento, too?

Same here.  Same exact timeline.  Sent AOS package on 3/9/17 and they it was received and signed for on Sunday 3/12/17 at night.  Basically, it arrived there on 3/13/17.  Still no NOA and check hasn't been cashed.  It's been exactly 21 days now.  I sent an email to Chicago Lockbox support today asking them status.  Will see when that gets answered, but on their website, it also states to contact them after 30 days if you don't hear from them.  I sent my email to them early since it mentions that it can take up to 15 business days for someone to respond, so I figure by the time someone takes a look, it will be past 30 days.  

Still nothing yet, Denis?  I don't know what could be wrong with our cases..

Still nothing.  So frustrating... I don't know what else to do.  A part of me wants to resubmit everything, but I'm told to just wait it out until I hear from USCIS.  If I have to resubmit, it's no big deal, but I would have lost a whole month.  Uggh.

Do they cash your check yet? 

Which field you sent your AOS?

Don't resubmit until they told you to do so. I understand your feelings since it's what I'm feeling right now. Hopefully, we will hear something by the end of this week..

No, they haven't even cash my check. What do you mean "which field?" I'm adjusting my status from F-1, sent my package to Chicago office, and I live in Sacramento, CA.

Yeah, I won't resubmit yet.  It's like you don't know if it's sitting somewhere or it's been lost.  No clue since the checks haven't been cashed.

I know right. Mine was worse since I'm gonna graduate in May, so I need something in order not to be out of status. I think we should be more positive hoping that they'd do something before this week ends. Good luck to you, Denis!

As long as you get a case number and your paperwork is in process, you won't be out of status.  The key here is to actually get a case number, which you and I are in the same boat.

The only thing we could do now is waiting for them. Please let me know if you receive anything.

Hi mailed our Packet via fedex last march 21st chicago office received it last March 23rd. Check cashed March 29. Last night we received both txt and email that our case was accepted. (K1 AOS packet) 

Wait until end of this week if until then they haven't  cash your check yet call them again.

I feel your anxiety. Lets keep praying that sooner you will get a response.

Best of luck to all of us.

i got RFIE in mail yesterday and it is about my affidavit of birth is insufficient as they say it is only secondary evidience. It was accepted in the embassy in Nepal but now they want the reason also why i dont have birth record in the government letterhead signed by government authority. 

 

This is really never ending process. So much exhausted!!!! Dont know how can i fix it. 

 

It says i have to submit it within 87days. Just wondering what happens if it is delayed. Will it be denied?

Hi @raini7, if you have registered your birth in Nepal, then you can ask the "birth registration certificate" from your district.

When I made one the procedure was, first get a recommendation letter (aka shifarish in Nepali) from an official of local VDC (as I was born in village). Then take that letter to District office and get a "birth registration certificate" in a government letterhead.

So weird...yours got a case number in 8 days while we submitted our packets way before you did and still nothing.  Did you hire an attorney?  Just curious, because I didn't.  As far as I can tell, all my paperwork is correct, all forms are up to date and the checks are all correct.  So I have no idea what's the hold up.

Yes, I did. I double checked it several times before I sent it out. The only 3 things that I didn't include is the form I-130A (I sent out the G-325A), the 4 photos (I only attached 3), and the paystubs of my husband and my co-sponsor. In case they return the package back to me, if it's not because of these 3 reasons, then it's because I must have made some mistakes on the forms such as checking the wrong box or missing information.
