February 2019 - AOS Filers!!!

[NMFerrer 32]

Hi, guys I wonder why I did not receive any email from USCIS about my case but receive text messages from them regarding the update. DO any one here experience the same thing? 

 

Should I give them a call about why I did not receive any email alerts or just wait?

Hi, we only received texts and no email. The main thing is you get the hard copy of the NOA1’s. I don’t think email matters much does it? Lol

I wouldn't worry about it too much - a week isn't that long.  My biometrics appointment was for a Monday 4th March in Brooklyn and when I got to the office it was closed due to snow. The website said that I would receive another appointment in the mail but I decided to go and try my luck in one of the offices in New Jersey - they let me do it there but it was a long wait.  Do you know if your local office has been closed at all due to weather? If they have then maybe they've had to reschedule all the missed appointments and so the wait time might be longer? You're in Columbus? That's where my wife is from!

I hope this is the case! Yes Columbus!

Hi guys didn't realise there was a Feb thread. 

 

My case status on uscis is stuck on "Fingerprint Fee Was Received On February 5, 2019", however I did my biometrics on the 25th Feb. Haven't heard anything else since.

 

Anyone here at the Buffalo NY office?

Did you check the other NOA receipt numbers too? My AP receipt number still says "fingerprint fee received" but the ones for my EAD and AOS say different things.

Is this the biometrics letter? I've just received the hard copies NOA1. How long does it normally take USCIS to send this letter? thanks

After a week

Hiya,

 

Thank you for the advice! I checked the AP and the number doesn't even come up on the system despite having the NOA. EAD and AOS say the same thing. i'll definitely check all 3 now cheers

Yes they need 2018 tax return. So I send them the 2018 tax return on February 12. So now I am waiting for them to make a decision on my case.

JESUS CHRIST. we sent the 2017 tax return as my husband literally can’t get the 2018 yet. He’s a surgeon with his own practise and the eye centre and his accountant have requested an extension (which has been granted) to file as they can’t get their heads around the new tax laws. This is great. I hope we don’t get an RFE but that doesn’t seem likely.

Just hope for the best. Maybe the IO working on your case might not RFE you. This immigration process is like  a soccer game we are playing. Some get luck to score at the very beginning of the match and move on to the next level. Others struggle just to make it to the next level. But in the end all will play the soccer game. 😊

So frustrating 😭

As a January/February "straddler"...all I keep getting are these useless email non-updates.  Give me something I can actually use, or save the spam...

Just do something to distract yourself from thinking about this uscis process.

I know we are all frustrated but let me laugh small...😃😃😃. Others are getting good responses and you are still getting that message. Wow.... You are not alone. I am stuck at "On February 12,2019 USCIS received your Response to the Request for Initial Evidence" for my I485 and "Case received on December 31, 2018 for my EAD/AP. 

 

Wishing us luck.

No kidding...since December 31st??  I'd be calling them and requesting some kind of factual update.  That's bunk!

My bio's were done at the beginning of March, completed just 2 days later, and since then...squat.  While others, as you can recognize, too, are getting interviews scheduled and even attended.  None of this makes sense, by virtue of the broad differences in how we are corresponding on here.  

 

These matters are EXTREMELY important, and treating some applicants as a "luck of the draw" in how quickly they are processed, is not how you deal with people's livelihoods.  

 

My attorney has not received any kind of RFE at this point.  Makes me wonder, has anyone even taken a look at this case (even though we've already done bio's), or are we just waiting on getting an RFE, which will further exacerbate the delays in processing.  Yeesh....
