Hi Everyone,

Officially got our 3 NOA1's on 1/5/19 with Received Date 12/24/18😁

We are expecting to get RFE's in return as we didn't put duplicate copies of the requested documents for each form😫 *shrugs*

Few questions, since I now have no idea what's next:

From what I'm understanding by reading this forum, I wait to receive another letter in the mail which will have the appointment date/time for the biometrics (Usually takes a month after receiving NOA1?) 

Is there anything else I need to check in the meantime? 

Also, we applied for my husband's SSN and SAVE Case Check says the case has been returned to the agency. What does that mean? What are the next steps in obtaining his SSN?

Thanks

 

For the SSN, it means they checked your info and your case has been returned to the SSA office you applied. To speed the process up you can try to call the SSA office and ask, saying you saw on SAVE that your case has been returned.

Our I-485 now says on the old site it is ready to be schedule for an interview.  The new site says we received your case.  Hopefully, we can get to do ours earlier and get the green card sooner.  Is anyone else's saying that too on the old site?

How long since your Biometrics appointment? I did mine 1 week ago and still not updates on the case status, both old and new site.

Exactly one week or 7 days from my biometrics appointment.  Biometrics was on Dec. 26th and my status showed, "Ready to Schedule Interview" on Jan 2nd.

Got biometrics done yesterday afternoon! Question for ya'll - over the last few months of AOS threads some say that their status changes after their biometrics appointment, how soon does that happen? I realize many people dont get any sort of any update. Also - for those who have had to get their prints re-done, how long after were you notified of that? And last question - if we haven't received notification of any additional evidence required, is it safe to assume no RFE's? Thanks!!

You can get RFE anytime during the process and even on interview. With the rest of the questions can not help, every situation is different, every uscis office is different, processing times also different. Some people get updates, some dont.

So, it is normal to not get updates?

Hi!! Biometrics appointment on January 15 in Cincinnati, OH! We were surprised since we live in Lexington, KY and the field office for the whole state of Kentucky is the Louisville one! But both cities are about the same distance so it's no problem !! 

 

Our appointment was scheduled for 9th my husband went to Louisville field office last week and was able to get in with no problems! Good luck to you!

Hi guys! Had our biometrics done today, quick and easy!  Hopefully the rest of the process goes smoothly, I'm also having the delay issue with the SSN 🙄

We sent my stepson's AOS/EAD/AP by FedEx to the Chicago lock box on December 23 and it was received on December 27.  Still haven't gotten a text message, email, or NOA1 letter and the check hasn't been cashed.  Should I be worried or is this normal now?  When we sent my wife's application's in July, we received a text message within a week.

There are a couple of us who are still waiting texts/NOA letters from December. Mine was delivered Dec 18th and I'm still waiting.. We keep calling USCIS every couple of days and they tell me it can take up to 30 days to get a NOA. I also e-mailed the Chicaco Lockbox to be sure that they received my package, but haven't heard back. I do have Fedex confirmation that it was delivered. I hope you will get yours sooner, but you can call USCIS and ask Tier 2 to check their system while you wait. They can look up your application by your name and/or A-number.

Thanks.  I didn't realize I could call USCIS for this before receiving the receipt # on the NOA1. - Jason

Our case number just turn from ready to schedule interview to interview is scheduled!  Waiting on it to come in the mail to see when the interview is.  This was really quick so far...much quicker then 1 year.
