Congrats....those are the emails for your EAD/AOS/AP. You will soon receive the same notification in your mail (physical paper). You probably have tree different numbers for each of the requests and from now on, your next stop should be Biometric Appointment in about a month or something like that. 

Hi, I am confused about the Biometrics. Since I applied for AOS/EAD/AP, do I have to make three trips to USCIS for the biometrics?

 

I thought there should be one only, but I heard here on VJ that some people did biometrics separately for EAD and AOS.

 

P.S., I have done finger printing at US consulate, do we actually need another one or possibly two or three biometrics?

 

(The transportation to USCIS is not quite easy for me, that is why I am asking...)

It is my understanding that once you apply for AOS/EAD/AP you will have an BIO APP after like I said before and those cases where the BIO for EAD and AOS are in separate appointments exist but I`m not sure why. I personally only had 1 App that counted for EAD and AOS as per stated in the letter I received. The notification will tell you what the Bio App is for as far as the case number.

Thanks for the prompt reply! Fingers crossed!

others can correct me if im wrong but i think you only get to do one biometrics if you applied for aos/ead together. but there are some people who apply for aos only without applying for ead at the same time so they get an appointment for biometrics for the aos and then when at a later time when they apply for ead then they have to do a separate biometrics for that as well. since you filed ead and ap together with your aos you should only have to appear for biometrics only once.

That could be the case of they been receiving two letters....

Just wanted to let you know that I checked my numbers and they work now (I didn't have to call).  So for anyone else who tries to check their numbers and they aren't found yet, just give it a few more days.

No, I cannot. But I received the email from USCIS only yesterday. In the email, it says "We suggest you wait until you have received your Form I-797 before checking My Case Status." So I just thought I had to wait. However, you have received your mail, I am starting to wonder if anyone had a similar situation like yours...

Hi Everyone, my cases are available on the online tracker now!

 

For AOS, it says Fingerprint Fee Was Received on the 10/6

For EAD/AP, they say Case Was Received on the 10/4 (this was when my package was delivered! So they are fast maybe?!)

That is really weird, my case was received on 10/03 in the morning, and yet I have not received the text nor emails, nor the check was cashed  I am really disappointed
