I have personally ticked YES (for myself) for this question as the immigraion benefit that you are applying for is the Green Card. 

 

This is my personal opinion and could be wrong. Perhaps anyone who has filed and not been rejected can share what they answered for this question.

 

Thanks :)

I think your right, but maybe they can figure it out lol, today they deposited my check even tho I click no

My documentation was received on 1st April. Still no text or email. I appreciate with what’s happening in the world things are taking longer. 
 

I’ve rechecked the delivery address 10 times to make sure UPS delivered it to Chicago 🤣 Has anyone else done the same?!

Just received my 4 texts with case numbers! Very happy, and relieved! They have not taken money from my account yet, but I am not worried about that at all. Now, I just want the offices to open back up again so that I can take my finger prints and expedite my EAD...

Hope that more people got good news tonight!

Congrats David.

Thanks! With the current shutdown, the resubmission might not have slowed down my overall processing time too much. Wish they could continue processing of EADs etc without biometrics though!

Yeah, I understand what you mean and I wish they could too. My status has been “Fingerprint fee was received” for over 30 days now.
VJ sent me an email saying the projected processing time for my EAD application has changed and  based on their data, it is now August. Was supposed to be June.

hopefully, this Covid-19 will pass and things will return to normal. In the meantime stay safe.

A random question but I had 3 EAD cards issued in the past because I have an OPT STEM degree in the states. I never had to do biometrics for my past EADs (fairly recent too). Is this a new requirement?

I have had EADs issued to be before as well for OPT and STEM OPT. I'm not an expert on the history of immigration/EAD requirements, but it's my understanding that getting an EAD through AOS is different than from getting through OPT. So not a new requirement, just a different process with different requirements.

It’s been 2 weeks and I haven’t had a text or email from USCIS to confirm they have received my package. How long did you wait please? 

Give them 30 working days before you stress. Sometimes it takes that long. 😃

USCIS is like a box of chocolates, you never know what kind of answer you are going to get!!!!

Hi Everyone,

 

I have a question about the I-944 assets section - did anyone else's total amount (U.S dollars) double the cash value amount when the autofill kicked in? I'm assuming it's on purpose but just want to make sure.

 

Thanks!

Just updating this with my information:

 

AOS Package Received at Chicago Lockbox: 24th March (original package rejected on 11th March).

 

Still no NOAs/text messages/check cashing.

 

Let’s see if they’ve rejected it!  (I didn’t put N/A or None - left blanks instead.  Saw some worries about that being a cause of rejection here, so it’s on my mind now!  Lol/urgh).
