Sorry for so many posts today. Anyone know why I can't update my NOA date on my timeline? It says something about it can only be max 8 weeks since originally filing? Pretty sure 2020-06-15 to 2020-07-17 is fine...

Bug? Someone else posted a similar issue for the tracker, too.... I wonder if it's client-side javascript validation? If so, perhaps you can disable that and enter it, anyway... You can report your issue at: https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/2-post-bugs-here/page/88/#comments

 

 

It's great to see people getting biometrics notices.  We got our response to RFIE to the NBC on Monday. On Wednesday at 9 AM CT, they updated the case status to show that it has been received. We  labeled our envelope in big letters "Response to RFIE (I-485)" and put a black&white photocopy (not original) of the two-page RFIE request on the top of the response., so I guess that could have hastened its intake. I'm expecting our overall application will be delayed three or four weeks due to receiving a RFIE, we'll see...

 

RFIE Timeline:

Date   (Days after I-485 delivery)
2020-06-29	26	I-485/I-131/I-765: Receipt notices sent via SMS (11:17PM CT)

I got a letter saying I don't need to do another biometrics appointment as they still have them on file from last year, hoping that helps speed things along. 

When did you get your biometrics done? was it at your K-1 interview or did you have a different visa before filing K-1?

From a previous AOS application. We filed Aug 2019 and had biometrics September 2019. I'm a k1 filer and my AOS got rejected in February this year so had to refile.

I'm having the same issue with my timeline. THere must be a glitch in the system.

I see lots of people have got their biometrics appointment in March, April and even May filers threads. It’s going to be us soon. Hopefully this week!!!

Finally we received the letters in the mail!

 

Here's an update of my timeline:

 

Date sent: 06/29

Date received: 07/02

CC charged: 07/16

NOA1 texts: 07/21

NOA1 letter: 07/27

 

Now let's see if  they send us the biometric appointment soon. I have hope reading the last replies!

I got it this evening. However, the appointment is in August. May be there is lesser backlog in Connecticut 

Wow, that was really fast - And again proves the point of there is no rhyme or reason, lol!  We are in CT too - Our NOA was 7/12, and we haven't received the biometrics letter yet.  Crossing my fingers based on yours that it will come soon!

Finally heard something!

Timeline:

AOS mailed (UPS) 6/5

AOS delivered 6/10

called, received rec # 7/27 (# assigned 7/22)

 

Case status is now saying 'finger print fee received'.

 

Thanks for the support all. one thing i can say - this process is a test of faith and patience.  I feel so much better now. I guess biometrics is next, if no RFE.

AOS mailed: 6/14

We filed the AOS package with a lawyer and we haven't received anything from USCIS yet.. No receipt notice, no cashed check. We're in california so I'm not sure if it's because California is slow right now... I called USCIS last week and spoke with live representative over chat today however they have nothing in the system for my husband. I emailed lockbox and no response. Hopefully they just haven't gotten to it yet.. the wait is absolutely dreadful though because it's been so long...

HI, all is not lost, i wait for 47 days before i heard anything.It was just by chance i tracked the money order today and it was cashed so i called USCIS and they gave me a receipt number. No texts, no emails. it doesnt make sense i tell you dont stress over it because i did every single day until this morning. just keep the faith they will respond in their own time. Hang in there!!

2nd week has now passed after returning our rejected packet.  Same story...no news.

 

At this point I have zero faith this will be resolved successfully.

 

At some point it appears we will have to start over.  There is no end in sight.

 

We did everything  right...and simply due to bad luck we are basically in a place where we have no where to turn for help.

Hopefully you'll see the cheque cashed or payment charged this week. 
You shouldn't be far behind us.
