August 2017 AOS Filers

Has anyone’s status changed?

When I look up my case numbers on USCIS so far nothing has changed. I-485 says fingerprint fee received. That’s all. Even if I had my fingerprint appointment last week.

I received the biometric letter today in the mail.

 

The appointment was for Sep 18 but I dropped in today itself for a successful walk in.

 

I had to explain why I showed up early to the center manager and he accepted my request.

 

It only took 10 minutes. As soon as I left the office I submitted a SR to expedite my EAD.

 

 

 

 

That's awesome... I have a question so you summited the SR to expedite the EAD the same day that you did the biometrics... They allow that??... Good luck

Same thing for me.  I take it as a good thing actually.  It means no RFE's have been issued!  I'm trying to enjoy this time of waiting because well, we've got lots of other things going on and it's all up to USCIS now.  We all technically only sent in our paperwork a month (some of us, even less!) ago.  It's still the first phase of all this so I say get comfortable.

Yes I did it today instead of the 18. Walk ins are possible in some locations but usually are frowned upon. 

SR is a service request, basically it is calling USCIS and submit a request, mine was asking them to expedite my EAD based on a job offer. 

Wow, i did not know that this is possible! I basically found a job as well already and they are willing to wait until i get my EAD but i want to start as soon as possible. how did you explain to the uscis that you should be expedited? do you have a letter by your future employer that says they need you to start until a certain date?

Hello! I am new to this forum.  I am so glad I was able to find this so I can follow how everyone's cases are progressing.  I am adjusting from F-1. 

 

Aug. 24 - AOS package sent

Aug. 25 - Package received and signed

Sept. 5 - USCIS check cashed

Sept. 6 - text/email notification for I-130, I-485, I-765, and I-130

Sept. 9 - Biometrics appointment letter for I-765

Sept. 18 - Biometrics appointment for I-765

 

So I received the biometric appointment letter (only for I-765) but I haven't received any hard copies of NOA yet.  I was able to check the status of all of the forms with the case number I got from the text/email.  It says I should receive the NOAs by September 22nd or will need to contact them.  Did anyone have this issue?  I am sure everything is fine since I already got a biometrics appointment for I-765, does this mean that I will probably get a second biometrics appointment for I-485?

I don't have such a letter, I however have an official job offer with a start date. I am hoping it will be enough.

@rali sorry if I missed some of your story. Just wondering, did you have a job offer before getting to US or once you arrived you started applying and received a job offer? another question I have is, in order to expedite your EAD you only need to call USCIS and wait their email?
