No, I submitted I-130 (in March) and I-485 in October, so I thought maybe I'm still in the line with March people since my NOA for I-485 priority date says March, why wouldn't they put October? 

My understanding is that they will start to process your I-485 now, get your bio appointment and everything. The PD is usually from when you file the AOS and not the I-130. I could be wrong, its how I think of works.

Got it ))) 

 

Yeah, they'll start everything now but I really hope it won't take another 7 months ((( maybe somehow I-130 priority date will speed up my process ( Anyway, will keep an eye on this thread.  Thank you for your answer.

Marina Have they cashed your check as yet? Mines was received on the 6th, haven't heard anything yet

Hi, @HisForeverWife I sent a money order with my package so I don't know if they have processed it yet. However, when I go to the My USCIS and check the status on my I-148 it says "On October 16, 2017, we accepted the fingerprint fee for your Form I-485 " which tells me that at they have cashed at least that part of the money...or not idk haha

Just Received NOA1 last night for I-130, I-485, I-131, I-765!!! They are all being processed at NBC(MSC). The processing times are confusing there..

Hey Clara! Good to see another Brazilian here too! My files were sent to the NBC too! For what I have seen in this thread a lot of people had their cases sent there since most of the receipt numbers start with MSC   is that normal?

Ok thank you hun, I don’t remember it printing in the paper in the first phase of the process and when I researched I saw ppl used white- out lol ... ok I just signed next to it, added pics. Think everything is ok. Will FINALLY be sending today. My wife and I have been so delinquent with this part of the process.... but I truly hope that I get it sooner than later and wishing the same for all!

You will have to sign on all three forms I-485, I-765 & I-131. Applications gets rejected and sent back just because people forget to sign. My wife (then fiancee) forgot to sign on the I-129F and was sent back

One more question does the whole amount - 1225$ need to be on one money order? I’m in publix rn, they don’t do amounts over 500$

The maximum limit on a money order is $1000. What I (and most of us do is) make 2 money orders and yes USCIS will accept 2 money orders as they know the limit for a money order is $1000. So do this $1000 + $225 = $1225

 

USPS does $1000. I went to USPS and got money orders done there and sent off my AOS package

I though they sent me there cause I live in Missouri, but I as checking the other messages on this thread and apparently everyone was sent there. Maybe they are giving the other locations some time to breath, or doing some kind of sorting. Hopefully it won't be long!

One more thing- lol, do we have to send an original of the marriage certificate or can be a copy of what the court house sent?
