About how long from the mail being delivered was it before the charge appeared/check was cashed?

Our checks were cashed out on the 10th and mails were delivered on the 13th.

We're in California, but it looks like you're probably at the Fresno field office (we're in San Diego); or at least, poking the first Modesto zip code on the USPS site into the the USCIS find your field office page got that.

 

Good news is that Fresno is not a super-slow field office (like most of the SF and LA area offices).

Hello and congrats for the weddingl! I am also in California preparing the AOS packet while waiting for my Social security card to arrive (it takes soooo long). Does anyone know if i need to have a social security number to fill out for AOS? 

 

Also, i was wondering, do we need to submit evidence of an ongoing relationship (like we did for K1 visa) ?

You do not; if you have one, you should fill it in, but it's not necessary to file.

No; you'll need evidence for the interview, though.

Hi everyone,

 

I just mailed in my documents (I-485, I-765, and I-693; already have an approved I-130) yesterday, which were delivered to the lockbox today, so joining in for the long (but not hopefully too long) wait!

We have the same timeline! When you said received by USCIS, did you mean the package was delivered to them? Mine was too but haven't received anything from USCIS yet so I figured they haven't even opened my package.

Hii  I was just wondering ....Did you get your bioometrics appointment letter,?

Thanks DaveAndAnastasia! Does the alien's birth certificate need to be certified true copy or a photocopy will be fine?

Photocopy is fine.

 

Also be advised that I mostly copied that checklist from the first page from the March 2019 filers thread; I didn't double-check it against the official instructions documents, so it may recommend some things you don't strictly need.

Alright thanks!

Hi, I sent my package today and reading this page is making me nervous. 

I just sent 2 passport pictures in the whole package. This is an issue ? Should I send passport pictures for each form ?

I came across the same topic before and people were saying that their application was perfectly fine with only 2 passport pictures in the whole package and some got RFE's. I think it just depends on which office it will be processed. Since you already sent yours, I guess the best thing to do is just wait for any RFE's.
