Hi, March 2020 AOS Filers :)

I received the second biometrics (I-131) appointment after I finished the first one and received EAD card. I am waiting for the response from the office but I would like to contact them again.

Do you know how to reach out to them? I tried Live Chat and Contact Center Call, but they don't work right now. (Live Chat worked for me before but not this time 😓)

Thanks!

UPDATE:

I went to the 2nd biometrics and received the response from USCIS after that. The representative told me that the 2nd biometric appointment notice was error since I already received EAD card. However, they could not say that I did not need to go there even it was error. Hope I can have AOS interview soon!

Help. I am SO confused! I read in an AOS portal, coming from K1 and adjusting status after marriage, the documents I only needed was I-485, I-944, I-765 and I-864. Here I do not see I-944 but instead see I-131. Can someone please clarify?

@SJordanS

You got this list from the March 2020 AOS thread. These were the requirements at THAT time. Each month has different requirements.


4 years, 11 months, 2 weeks and 3 days

Citizenship Complete!

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

 I-131 is the form for Advanced Parole, so if you want to travel before you get your greencard, you should file it. 

I-944 has been a bit of a confusing thing, it used to be required, then it wasn´t, and from what it looks like on the official USCIS website, it is required now again.
