We did our biometrics on 9/25 and haven't had any updates since then either. Really I'm assuming we'll be lucky to get the green card in 2019 considering we're in LA proper. Seems like EA/APs are going out to June/July filers now, so still a bit of a wait until I'll be concerned. 

 

Same, my office is in San Bernardino. Still in LA. I did my biometrics on November 2th, filed AOS and EAD/AP together on September 20th. No updates on biometrics yet, just "Fingerprint Fee Was Received". I don't expect my EAD/AP combo until late January, early February, since most people are reporting 4-5 months the estimate wait. My AOS is for F2B.

Hi All,

 

Thought I would post in this thread as I checked my USCIS account this evening and noticed my I-131 application has been updated with the following: 

 

 

Request for Initial Evidence Was Mailed

 

On November 28, 2018, we mailed a request for initial evidence for your Form I-131, Application for Travel Document, Receipt Number MSCxxxxxxxxxx. The request for evidence explains what we need from you. We will not take action on your case until we receive the evidence or the deadline to submit it expires. Please follow the instructions in the request for evidence. If you do not receive your request for evidence by December 28, 2018, please go to www.uscis.gov/e-request to request a copy of the notice. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

 

I am still awaiting the letter in the mail which will detail what this RFIE refers to, but am devastated as I understand this will "reset" my PD 😥 

 

I checked through my application (I made copies prior to mailing it) and am honestly unsure as to what could be the issue. The only thing that stands out is that I did not include an explanation as to why I was requesting AP (Part 7 on the application), although I was under the impression this was not required for AOS applications.

 

For the record, both my I-765 and I-485 have seemingly gone through smoothly thus far, and currently show as "Fingerprint Review Was Completed" in my USCIS account.

 

Will be sure to keep you all updated on developments as I imagine this is going to be a bit of a headache moving forward...

Can you show us a copy of your I131 coverpage with table of contents? If it's an RFIE it's a document you're missing and maybe we can help sort it out before the paper copy arrives.

Sure thing! That would be really helpful. I sent the following with my I-131 application:

• Completed I-131 application form
• 2 Passport Photos
• Copy of passport biographical page
• Copy of K1 Visa
• Copy of electronic I-94

Payment was also sent for my entire AOS packet which was accepted and cashed the following week, so really not sure what I might be missing here.

 

In terms of an actual coverpage, I only submitted one for all three applications (I-485, I-765 and I-131) but separated each form and evidence into a separate folder which I marked accordingly.

Perfect!

As a K1 you may be missing the following: 

•A photocopy of your Certified Marriage Certificate

•A photocopy of your NOA2 receipt from your K1 petition

 

Keep I mind, any of the original documents may have just gone missing. It's not wise to not have seperate cover letters for each form. The reason for that is they seperate the packages. The I765 and I131 are processed at the NBC while the I485 is processed at your local field office. So the moment they send the I485 off to be processed, your I765 and your I131 have no cover letter. An adjudicator would have no idea what you enclosed with your I131 due to the lack of a cover page. It would be extremely easy to misplace a document and have no idea that they did because you didnt submit a seperate cover letter for them to compare your package to.

 

Make sense why you need seperate cover pages now?

I'm on the same boat. Got "case is ready to be scheduled for interview" on Nov 7th, then yesterday (Nov 29th) changed to "fingerprint review was completed".

Same thing for me, from ready to schedule interview to fingerprint review is completed on 29 november, made me confused, i dont know if its a good or bad sign

The statuses dont mean much this time around and often update at an incorrect time or not at all (ever).

All K1 AOS packages start out at the NBC (everyone here will have a receipt number starting with MSC).

Interview timing will depend on the processing times of your local field office.

I hope nobody here had an interview scheduled today, all offices are closed in memory of Georges Bush. Don't expect mail from USPS as well.

I heard. To my surprise my 80s tune blasting mail truck driver just did a spin through my culdesac.. he went fast enough to make me think he just figured out he has the day off mid circle.

To all those wondering about the status on the website: I had my biometrics last year in October and the status remained on "fingerprint received" until right after I received my interview letter (which was a year after I filed). I was approved etc, so there's no reason to panic about their website statuses if it doesn't change.

Congratulations on your interview being scheduled, im just curious , in your timeline you have chicago as field office. Isnt chicago field office busy and takes around a year to scheduel an interview? You are having yours in less than 4 months which is awesome
