guess what i just found in the mail  my green card! hooray this is only less than a week from when my status changed to "card was mailed to me". impressive for baltimore lol

 

i'm a december 2016 filer and somehow my application got processed totally within the normal timeframe and no drama so that's really a lot of luck! ive only had to contact congressman for my EAD and they were as helpful as finding me the USPS tracking number for it.

 

now time to get a new social security and renew my drivers license. well hello MVA

 

i will definitely still stick around in the forum and contribute as much as i can because i've learned so much from everybody here throughout my process!! best of luck to you guys  

Thank you for giving me hope and congratulations!

Congratulations @huko. Well, today I got a letter from Baltimore office asking me to redo fingerprints. It's not the usual appointment letter. It indicates that my fingerprints have expired and I have 30 days to report to 1 of 3 application support centers to redo so FBI can complete background check. I have no idea what's going on. I have done fingerprints 3 times already. First for I485 and I765, second for renewal of I765, last when I undated my name. Feels like a delay tactics since being contacted by congressman. If I completed an interview, one would think that background was already completed. Correct me if I'm wrong. Anyway, I'm going tomorrow...let's see how long it takes now.

this is totally fine considering your application has been pending for a long time. I've seen that being the case on other cases too. Did they ask you for a new medical when you went in there?

Ok, good to know. Thanks, @piff. Yes, I took a new one to the interview although it was not requested. The IO asked for it.

Hey everyone. So I put in a SR today because USCIS received my response to RFE (for the I-130A) over 60 days ago and have sent me no update since. So my referral number ends with BAL. All other SR's I have ever put in ended with MSC. Does anyone have experience or know whether this means my application has finally been sent to the Baltimore field office? This whole process has given me trust issues so I'm scared to be excited

Something has changed there, like I used to be able to see the history of the case where change of address would be shown, but now it's empty, maybe they are rrdevrloping SRs?

So you received welcome letter on 11/2/2015?  Then what is your case status now?

[piff 46]

There are some movements at the Baltimore office - they are now processing July applications as of June 30, 2017.

Is anyone on here transitioning an AOS from a K1?

 

I am curious of the likelihood that our AOS will be called in for an interview based on how backed up they are. I am expecting  interview but would be happy to hear others personal experience?

almost no way to predict, but I know for a fact that the more paperwork you've sent out to them the more chance to have a waiver you have

I received NOA for AOS on 11/3/2015. I'm still waiting for approval for GC. Had interview on 06/14/17. Just received letter to redo fingerprints as they are expired.

I'm joining the party here. I filed my AOS from K1 in April, but we just moved to Maryland. Anyone knows if changing of addresses affect the processing time? Any other March/April filers here?
