@yutekao its delivered on the 27th, so i presume they received it..the question is what happened to it and where is it now. usually they give out notices on how they work on our case before anything else right? lets see what they have in store for you this afternoon...crossing fingers and toes for you here 

 

I called again and spoke to a different lady. She said typically takes 10 days to process the USCIS packages sent to Chicago Lockbox....

 

And again....she needed to transfer me to a USCIS immigrant officer but the waiting time is still over 2 hours.....I don't think I will get a call back today...

 

This is a stressful situation since I do not know if the USCIS lost my package during the process or if my case got returned. 

 

I can not get updates at this moment so I guess I will just have to keep waiting for the response.

This morning i checked my email from usps informed delivery to see what mail i can expect today and there is something from uscis coming.

I have received my notices of action and biometric appointment letter already and just wondering what it could be. I didn't send my medical so maybe its a notice for that🤔 Hopefully not a rfe....patiently waiting on the mailman...

Any word on what it is/was? Hoping it's not an RFE!

Thank you so much for your kind words.

 

So I did get a call back from the USCIS officer and so he thought it was a little strange that my check has not been cashed yet (because normally takes around 10 days) and it has been 19 days and nothing yet. 

 

He told me to be patient because some cases may take up to 5 weeks....and he said if I do not hear anything from them by next week I should definitely give them a call back to see what's going on. 

 

He couldn't check if my case was in the system or not so I will just be patient. Hopefully I was get an email/text notification soon.

Did my biometric today at the Omaha field office so the waiting game continues. Best of luck guys & always pray & stay positive🙏🏻 ☺️

I had to reschedule my biometrics appointment. Today, I sent the appointment letter back to the address stated in the letter. Hopefully they will get it fast.

 Still waiting on biometrics letter.  For those of you who got yours,  did you get a text or email first? Did your online status change?

Hi Mwar  

 

I didn't get a text or email and my status didn't change, the letter just appeared in the mail. How long have you been waiting? I hope it comes soon for you!

There is no electronic notification for the biometrics appointment. Your case status doesn't change, either. As far as I can tell, people get their letter at different times based on the volume of cases handled at their local USCIS office. If you look at my signature, you can see there was a 17-day gap between when my wife received her NOA1 letter and the biometrics letter. Some folks say it can take up to a month.

 

Nothing moves fast in immigration-land!

My package was delivered on 4/24, and I just got the text/email notification last Friday. So it took me about 18 days, too. If you have already called them and talked to them about your case, you might here something soon since I received the notification 2 days after the speaking on the phone with the officer. I got the notice in mail on Saturday, and it states that the Received Date is 4/24, but the Notice Date is 5/11. So I think it depend on the worker who handles your case.

Thank you! That definitely makes me feel a little better. Hopefully I will get something soon. I just have to keep thinking positive! I just kept worrying about the USCIS might lost my package but the thing is....I sent my package with Fedex with signature required, so I do know that the package was definitely delivered to the USCIS Lockbox.

hi! at least we know your documents are definitely with them and not lost. lets hope that the ones handling your docs are working on it now since you notified them...

If you sent out your package by Fedex, you should have sent it to the USCIS building. The Lockbox is designated for USPS shipments only. However, if someone did sign for your package, I think it's in good hands now. You just need to give them a little bit more time. Good luck!
