March 2018 AOS Filers

[Sereser 9]

So I went to my Biometrics yesterday. Got home and received a courtesy letter. Has anyone else received this? My i-485 pkt was received by uscis on March 1st. The courtesy letter basically just tells me that I will need to bring my i-693 to the interview (whenever that will be) just wondering if anyone else got this courtesy letter too

My understanding is that you only received that due to the need of i-693, otherwise you would only receive an interview letter.

Just a recap of my timeline:

March 21: Received email/texts (acceptance confirmation for i-485 & i-131)

March 22: Cheque was cashed

March 23: NOA for i-765 (Rejected due to insufficient fee)

March 26: Received NOA hardcopy for both i-485 & i-131

Quick update guys i got email on aril 8 saying that my biometrics review is done whish i had them in april the 3 . Another thing that i wanna mention it could help i called uscis yesterday to expedite my EAD and based on financial lost and pending job offer that i have . Today i recieved email from them saying that they are waiting proofs of job offer letter to fax it  to them to the number in the email which im sending them tomorrow . Just to remind my application was recieved march 6 . I wish the best of luch to all of us cuz we are realy sick of bieng stuck in a house . 

I tried the same. My expedite request based on a job offer was put on hold the first time on March 30 since my biometrics were missing. Walked in for my biometrics on April 3 and tried to expedite again on April 6. Immediately after hanging up the phone with USCIS, I received an email stating that I need to fax more proof. I faxed all the evidence immediately including a letter from company that they support the expedited process. I have not heard anything since. Per case status my service request was still completed on April 6 which was basically after they responded to me that they require more evidence. 

 

Please keep us updated how your request is going. 

 

Since this is my first message here, our case was received on March 16 and I am also a fellow K-1 AOS Filer. So sick already of waiting and this is only the beginning. It seems like Houston has one of the worst timelines for AOS....

It's so frustrating to refresh the website everyday and nothing changes... I was expecting something like "biometrics complete" after biometrics.. but nothing ever changed after "biometrics fee received " i know its super early lol but ugh it makes me so anxious

Same here :/ though they last touched my case 03/25.

So.. I woke up this morning with two emails from the DHS website saying "we have taken action on your case" for my I-485 and EAD. I refreshed the app cause its easier and now it says "fingerprint review was completed"

 

I guess that doesn't mean a LOT.. more waiting!

I got the same  but only for I-485. I guess they will send me another biometrics appointment letter, which sucks a little bit.

At first I almost got a heart attack as I was thinking it is RFE (which I am expecting anyway but still freaking out). Unfortunetely the lady said when I was doing my biometrics for I-485 that I will have to come again ;( although on the phone they told me it all depends on immigration worker who work on my case, most likely I will get it...

Oh what a bummer! Let me know.. 

 

and yes, first reaction was: is it an rfe???? But then I saw two emails and i was like: oh thats weird lol

 

glad we dont have rfe so far!
