I was gonna ask the same question. I think we should go by the date uscis notifies us that they received our application and started working on it

Quick question about timelines. 

Did you guys use the date when you actually got the NOA's or did you use the date USCIS tells you online? I went by when I received my NOA's but maybe I should go by the date USCIS mentions online. That's like a week and a half earlier.

What do you mean "use"?

 

Yeah, online is earlier for me, too.

Did you use the date it mentions online, or the date when you got your NOA messages? Because online it says the 27th of February for me but I got my NOA messages on the 7th of march.

I'm sorry, didn't mean to get you worried but I figured it would be best to let you know that this sort of thing can happen. 

 

It's okay! I mean, I'm glad I know so I'm prepared. But after reading every post I can... doesn't look like there is anyone who gets their I-130 NOA and their I-485 on different days. Or is it normal to receive news about the I-485 of a concurrent filing with I-130 on a different day?

 The I-485 that follows my I-130 just says "fingerprint fee was received" where as the I-130, I-131. and I-1765 all say "case was received" 

I just hope there is a mistake and when I receive the hard copies of the NOA they are all in there.

04/11/17: Received hardcopies of all 4 NOAs in the mail

04/29/17: Received biometrics appointment letter

05/12/17: Biometrics appointment

05/12/2017: Received RFIE 

05/24/2017: Sent RFIE evidence to USCIS

I have my Biometrics appointment next Tuesday. It's written in the letter that I'm not allowed to take a phone with me. My problemis that I have to use Uber to get to the Service Center and back to my apartment. What am I going to do with my phone? I can't leave it at home...

I had mine yesterday. I was asked if I had a phone with me.. before I entered I saw that people had to return and leave their phones in the car... I would follow the guidelines...

Literally just got my NOA ! :D I couldn't be happier. I am confused though, ''Please follow the instruction in the notice''.... Does this means I am getting a RFIE or something like that ?

For reference, we sent the forms on march 24, received march 27th. They cashed the check yesterday. I didn't sent the AP but I am starting to regret seeing the long waiting time.

From what I remember when I had mine done, in 2015, they asked me to leave my phone in the car. My sister-in-law took me so she stayed in the car and just waited for me to be done. I would tell them you came in using Uber (and will leave using Uber), so you have nowhere to put your phone. Let them help you decide what to do. It's not like they're just going to flat out prevent you from following through on your appointment because of the phone. 

 

 

You don't do Biometrics for AP. :)

 

My kids received their Biometrics letters today. :)

@SparklePonycongratulations to them. very happy for you. good luck

Woohoo! Finally got my text and email NOAs. My husband was very unhappy about my phone ringing over and over again in the middle of the night (i can't mute it because of my work), but I couldn't be happier. They received my case on 28th. Thers nothing mentioned about my request to expedite EAD. I'll wait for the NOA in the mail and if there's still nothing I'll call them. Wish me good luck! And to everybody who's still waiting- stay strong! I know you're tried of reading it over and over, but my application got rejected the first time, and now it's finally moving forward.

I believe so. Mine says the same thing. 

 

 

Also, I know some of you said you weren't able to track your case online right after you got the text NOAs, but thanks God I can see everything. Thanks to whoever mentioned the tracking app for the phone- I love it!! 😬

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?

Please keep us updated! We got an RFIE and it hasn't come in the mail yet, but I suspect it is about his Iranian birth record and translation, as it it pretty different from the US birth certificates, even though it includes all the same information
