Currently gathering out papers. Hopefully we can sent it next week. Good luck to us 😊

Were you able to send in your packet yet? I did not see in your time line where you had sent it in!

Wow! We almost have the same timeline. Lol.

 

Jan. 6 - sent out package

Jan. 8 - received package

Jan. 13 - got text messages for all 3

Jan. 22 - got hard copies but is dated Jan. 13

 

Our mail is crazy slow.

Would be helpful if you updated your timeline with your NOA information. You posted that you received the hard copies but your time line does not reflect it!

Nah you're good. It's not that long since they received it. Maybe you'll get the texts early next week 😊

 

Informed delivery showed me a letter from Homeland this morning. Probably the biometrics appointment letter

Unfortunately, that is not a given... I am waiting by myself 😔 I think if it weren't for my situation, I wouldn't have even been stressed about the processing time for all of this at all...

loooks like NBc processing is faster. Phoenix lockbox is horribly slow atleast in my case

We sent my wife’s AOS, EAD, AP last January 21 via UPS. They received it on January 23. 

 I have been reading about the filing from other sites (forgot which one) it was stated there that each packet should have a cover letter. My wife was kinda worried cause she only put the cover letter on the AOS packet. Will that be a problem? Since other packet will go to different departments and might be the cause for denial on EAS and AP?

Just curious, does USCIS update their website for biometric appointments, or is that just for the interview?

Just received biometric appointment letter but website still says "Fingerprint fee was received." So probably not...

noa: Jan 15

biometric appt letter received: Jan 25

For anyone curious, it says you need to bring the letter, along with photo ID - passport etc and If you appear without you won’t be be fingerprinted.

Awh yay! Thank you, I’m wishing you luck too. 

 

Im very happy my appointment didn’t fall on the 5th as I wouldn’t have been able to attend on that day without missing something super important my husband is attending, so it’s a big relief not having to try reschedule 🙂

 

Hope everything goes smoothly for you on the 5th 😃
