OCTOBER AOS 2018 Filers

[CanadianKristy 20]

Question regarding processing times:

 

The processing times for my 'local' field office is 7.5 - 21 months. 

 

Does the clock start ticking at USCIS receipt date for I-485, or does that timeframe start once NBC transfers it over to them and I see an update on my case?

if i guess i think it start from ticking at you I485 receipt number because they never say when it transferred to the LFO..in my experience/case at least..

no biometric still? 

 

most October filers are receiving ead/ap or green card already.

 

oh i saw your timeline that you came here with visitor visa last 2015? that might be the cause of your aos delay but we never knew..try to contact USCIS and ask about your case status..it wont hurt/affect your case to call them.

receipt date for 765 and 131 is October 1st... biometrics were completed nov 2nd.,... no updates since then. came here as a visitor and filed 485,130,131,765 concurrently. Married to US citizen for >2 years at time filing..... no updates since october 4th. I will contact them once it hits outside of normal processing times for 765  (which is in about 3 weeks).

the case is a lil bit complicated than CR1 and K1 visa who recently got their ead/ap and green card..

Hi dear VJ members! Im here again after my K1 process, which was already very stressful and long (1 year na 1 month). Ive seen many people getting approved in october and few people from november as well for EAD. I already called them twice, they just said my process is good and that I should be receiving it by the end of the month. Im reaching the 5th month, my PD is october 23rd. I just want to see if there are more people waiting, since they went back to mid september in their website right!? So no service request for me until mid april. This is being very annoying.

How did you get a hold of someone on the phone? You called the 800 number and made which selections to get someone to check on your case?

 

USCIS receipt date for me was October 1, 2018 and ive had no updates since (biometrics were completed nov 2)

Yes, I just called the 800 number, the guy was nice on the phone. I dont even know if i can trust on what he says, it wasnt a tier 2 tho. But Ive seen people from september this week still getting approvals. Somewhere now from 4,5 to 6,5 months this will happen. Just annoying the wait.

The current date in order to make an official service enquiry is September 14th, 2018 for category C9 concurrent AOS filers of EADs at the NBC. If your PD is after that, there is no use contacting them as you are still within the estimated processing times of 4.5 to 6.5 months.

You CAN keep checking though. Input I765 and National Benefits Centre. Scroll down to the bottom and check the date for category C9. When the date passes your PD you can make an official service enquiry via phone or the email form.

My PD is October 19, and I haven't heard anything yet. There are many people waiting longer than us. I am hoping within the next few weeks they get to all October filers, but all we can do is wait.
