I sent my package at January 19

recieved January 23

after 2 weeks I didn’t get anything so I called uscis and they give me my MSC number for the 3 submissions 

after that at the same day they texted me with the number and I also got an email. 

Date February 7th at 12:20 am (actually already feb 8th)

 

I didn’t receive anything from the mail yet.

 

do we receive biometric appointment txt as well? I am worried to get lost on the mail... or can we Check online if it’s scheduled? 

 

Thanks all

Unlikely that you will receive any texts from now on
Don't overly worry about "notifications." That's a hit or miss with USCIS
Always wait for paper copies. By the time they arrive, you will have PLENTY of time to plan for anything

Also, for most- the biometrics appt arrives 5-7 days after the NOA1 copies come in the maik
Good luck!

Hey...

 

So, no...I haven’t called them yet.  I figure...I’d give it a full two weeks (which would technically be this coming Monday night).

 

I also have forms G-28 on each application (permitting my Attorneys to have access control to the process), and I don’t want to appear to be overstepping my Attorneys.  Sorta.  I mean, after all, this is MY (and my wife’s futures we’re talking about here).  Lol....

 

I’m going to follow your advice come Tuesday if I don’t hear anything by then.

 

Thanks!  

USCIS is all over the place with these notifications
I believe it was September 2018 filers that many went more than a month with NOTHING.

Keep in mind USCIS says to give them up to 60 days and they mean that. lol
Stay patient and if you submitted the right form with the right check amount (Two reasons for rejected applications), then you're golden.
You don't lose your place in line just for taking an additional week for your notification.

Good luck y'all

Thankfully there are folks like yourself around to keep some of us from going bonkers!  No worries...will try to keep-the-faith and stay sane.  I'm probably going to give USCIS a call by this coming Friday, especially if my attorney has done nothing for me.  Nothing new out of Attorneys, that you pay and they do nothing.  What else is new...

 

Appreciate the Good Luck wishes!  Gonna need it!!

Hello guys!!! I am a late January filer. How long after you get the first notice of action do you get biometrics done for AOS? I filed through fiance visa. Also, how long is the travel document taking now? Thanks!!

Hey there...

 

So, when did you file in January, and when did you get your notices?

attorneys really make this process more difficult than it is worth-- unless you got a case that really needs attorney's eyes
Wishing y'all good luck! And some sanity. lol

Biometrics appt is usually done 4-6 weeks from your NOA1 date
Letter comes in the mail with about 2 weeks headsup.

 

Travel doc is taking 4-7 months
Bank on it taking you closer to 5. Anything faster than that is a blessing.

Got the NOA1's on Saturday. Now i guess 1-2weeks for Biometric appt letter, is it really?
By the way, Anyone here going thru Newark NJ?

Jumped on the last train on Jan filers. Jan 31st lol

How long did you wait for the biometrics appointment letter since receiving the NOA1 receipts?

Right there with ya!  Not quite a month, but definitely long enough.  And my Attorney just sits back with their full pay and says, “just wait just wait”.  Grrrr!

 

I’ll be calling today, as well.  Be sure to come back and post an update!  Good luck to ya!
