Good Morning VJ'ers,

 

I think my packet is lost and not sure if I should wait it out or what.

I mailed the AOS packet on Saturday April 1st and it was delivered on Tuesday April 2nd to the physical address given on USCIS website. It was signed for by someone who gave 4 Characters ( I don't have the slip with me at work) and it says it was delivered to the DOCK. What is the world? A dock not a receptionist?

 

I have yet to see my check cashed, receive an email or a text. I put the G-1145 in their with my information.

 

Does it usually take this long?

 

Not sure what to do at this point but now I am also concerned because it has my entire life in there, SSN, Taxes, everything someone would need to steal my identity.

Them signing for it is a good sign that it's not lost. (No pun intended, I swear!) It does indeed take a while before you hear something. Within another two weeks you should have your check cashed and NOA1 following.

It takes much longer for the AOS NOA to come then it does for the K1 NOA.  Ours took 18 days from when we mailed it until we got the NOA text message.  It was only 6 days for the K1 submission.   You can look in the timelines section here to see relative times for how long it takes between sending and NOA and then NOA to biometrics and interviews for the office you sent too.

I tried to find that link. I guess I went to the wrong page to check this. Do you have the link for the timelines for this?

Just go to "Immigration Timelines" at the top and then click on "AOS Timeslines" which is towards the bottom left of the next page.  

 

http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/aoslist.php?cfl=&op5=5,6,8,9,10,11

 

You can also click on the AOS Stats link where it will tell you the average days to NOA and other things for each office.

These will help with your sanity when you start wondering after it's been months since the last update to your status in USCIS and your wondering if yours is lost.

Many March filers only got their NOA1 texts/emails around the 21 days mark (me included) and one couple had theirs at 28 days. Just be a little patient. :)

02/14/2014 - Case shipped to Embassy, where it waited for over a year at my request                                 11/07/2015 - AOS approved (EAD and AP had already been approved) - there was no interview

05/21/2015 - Interview - Approved

06/19/2015 - Wedding (L)
