Yes they got everything! That's so frustrating, wow... Hopefully it gets to them quickly.

I know  but it happens. Instead of I765, I'd rather have I131 missing.. ampf! 😉

 

But I'm going to request to expedite it since they missed it. Grrrrrr

Hey fam, we’re still waiting on our biometrics appointment in the mail, having received the texts at 3/11 

 

not sure it would matter anyway since all appointments are cancelled 🤔 do you think they’ll send another notice again?

Hello everyone! Who among you filed February, got rejected because of outdated form and refiled again? Thanks!

Hi. Just wondering if you got text notifications for I-485 and I-131 but not the I-765?

 

Thank you!

Yes, no text notification neither NOA for I-765 but got text and NOA for I485 and I131. Emailed lockbox support but can't wait for another 2wks (total of 30 days) for their response. Tier2 CS is no help as well. Only lockbox support can verify where my I765 app went.

U'll probably receive it soon but won't be able to do it since all offices are closed. 

 

We r planning to walk-in once they are back in business. We got our request last Thurs for 3/30; notice date was 03/13.

Just received text notification for receipt of I-485 (11:30 on a Sunday night?) and Employment Authorization. Case status online says "fingerprint fee received," is that normal?

 

We mailed our forms to Chicago via USPS on February 22nd (to get in before the public charge rule), and our package was delivered there on the 24th. We used the 07/15/19 version of the I-485. Many people had been getting rejections, who sent it in around that time, so we were worried about receiving a rejection.

 

Thrilled, as we've been waiting for this for a long time; also a huge relief that our forms were accepted. 

 

Didn't expect that on a Sunday night.

Wow! Sorry to hear about the rejection. Kinda was in this situation initially too. Still a bit fearful of the outcome of my submission after hearing this....

 

We initially submitted our I-845, I-765 & I-131 on the evening of February 22 (Saturday) via UPS as USPS had closed. We made it clear to the UPS attendant that we wanted it shipped ASAP and he said ok and processed our parcel. He gave us a receipt which reflected the Feb 22 date. I was a bit doubtful about this and asked to see the shipping date on the parcel. Lo and behold, it showed Feb 24 as the shipping date. I stressed how important it was for the shipping date on the parcel to read Feb 22 but he said that was something he could NOT change. So reluctantly, we left with my partner assuring me that the receipt we got clearly said 22nd.

 

We got home and my partner noticed I was still worried about the shipping date and we talked about what options we had available to us. We then saw that we could create our own shipping label on the Fedex site with a Feb 22 shipping date and what more, we found a Fedex store that would be open the next day -Sunday.

We immediately decided we were going to cancel the UPS shipment and use the Fedex service which we immediately paid for online and created a label for Feb 22. Unfortunately, we called the store and they were closed as it was already past 9pm at this time and they did not open on Sundays. We tracked the parcel and it had already been shipped to the regional hub. Long story short, we were unable to have UPS stop delivery of the package when we called their customer care line.

 

We decided to go ahead to printout and refill the forms and send another application via FedEx with the shipping label we created. We spent the whole of Sunday morning and afternoon at STAPLES printing out forms and organising our application all over again ( we saw one other person doing theirs as well 🙂 ). When we were done with the forms, we printed out the label and headed to the Fedex Store we had identified the previous day. We made sure to ask a lot of questions and get assurances that the label we created and printed out would be used and unaltered. The label clearly read the shipping date as Feb. 22. They however told us that the actual shipping date would be Feb. 24. We had done all we could at this point. We crossed our fingers and headed back home.

 

We spent the next two days calling UPS and going to their store (where we initially submitted) to make sure the parcel was intercepted and returned to us. We finally got a call from the the store that the package had been returned and to come pick it up the following Saturday. 

 

Our application arrived at the lockbox on Feb 26.

 

To be honest, I have been a bit apprehensive about getting a rejection and seeing your post just upped it up a notch.  

Finally got those three beautiful text messages at 12:30am with -Receipt numbers for I-485/I-765/I-131.

Pheew...
