Also i advice you to register yourself for Informed Delivery as you said the mailman is not regular in your area. https://informeddelivery.usps.com/box/pages/intro/start.action

Thanks for the tip, I tried it but I need to confirm my identity in person at a post office, they don't know my partner and I live here we will probably go this weekend

There's a good app for apple products I think, I own a samsung so I got an app called "USCIS APP" that isn't actually that good but makes it quicker to check on your cases than on the website (although this is useless since I signed up for text and email on uscis but i get a bit crazy).

 

The other app i have is "USCIS Case" and that is the one I use to check the 100 previous cases in one click. You should be able to find it on Google Play.

Thanks for all the info!  I have an iPhone. It seems there's a USCIS case tracker app where you can see 100 cases from a receipt number... what's a receipt number though? Is that different to the case number?

Edit - ok figured it out, a receipt number is the case number.

So since I can obsess over things easily, I thought I'd do some stats for the group with this new app!

 

I checked the 500 cases after my i-485 receipt number. Since we're all August filers, I'm guessing all our numbers are pretty close. Here's what I found:

• Of the 500 cases, 116 cases are specifically for the i-485
• Of these 116 i-485s filed in August, 44 (or 38%) are currently "ready to be scheduled for interview"
• 15 cases are in RFE/RFIE stage
• The remaining 49% of i-485 cases are all at "fingerprint fee received"

This makes me feel a bit better, at any rate...

Wow ! you are the father of all patience...you actually went through alllll 500 cases? very cool

 

 

that's good info and sadly i fall under that 49%.

lol I also briefly browsed the status of cases that were 2000 cases behind my case number. Looks like those were early July filers, and quite a few of them are at "interview ready to be scheduled" and "fingerprint fee received". Basically the takeaway from this exercise is: regardless of what your status currently shows, not to worry, it's normal

Hey guys!

 

My status for my expedite finally updated. But it doesn’t say if granted or not. What fondling think? 🤔

Hi all,

 

I received my EAD and AP combo card in the mail today!! However, my AP application status never gets updated. Looks like they usually come in a combo card.

Yes I expedited based on a pending job offer on 10/10, and they responded to my request asking for supporting docs on 10/12. I faxed my offer on the same day.

Thanks! If you have a pending job offer or other valid reason, try call USCIS and ask to expedite. Good luck to you!
