Hi all, just wanted to post an update on my time line here. My husband got his biometrics appointment letter in the mail today. It’s Already  scheduled for next Wednesday! Which I thought was so fast. If it helps, our ASC is Philadelphia. So excited to be moving forward in this process! Hopefully everyone waiting on a letter gets theirs soon. 
 

editing to add:

 

we originally filed in May but then We got an RFE in June and they started working on our case again in June so I thought it was appropriate to post here. Sorry if this isn’t the right place.

Awesome, when did you file your I-485 if you don't mind sharing?

We originally filed in May but got an RFE in June. I was surprised at how quickly they look at our application.

Thanks for sharing. That's good news indeed.

Wow that's fast ,the appointment is one week after you received your letter!!
 

We were thinking in going for a week to the beach now in August or something like that, but I wonder if I should avoid that. I don't want to miss the letter and hence the appointment.

Yeah second time around I just took out the copy of I-130 I included that was supposed to be FYI and sent everything back in and got accepted NP.

Detailed timeline please refer to my signature. 

Your timeline says you got an RFE.

 

Thats quite different from having your case rejected entirely like we were.

 

With an RFE you at least have a path to rectify the issue.

 

Not so when your case is rejected and sent back.  Even worse is when they do it and they are 100% wrong in doing so as in our case.

 

6 weeks they had our case...only to reject it for an invalid reason. 

 

Now we are into the 3rd week after sending it back and we wait yet again for God knows what this time around.

 

Excuse my lack of any confidence in this awful system.

I don't know what caused you the confusion, but my entire package was rejected and sent back to me because of a mistake USCIS made as I explained to you earlier today.

I wrote a new check, sent in the whole package for a second time, then got a RFIE.

This is my timeline so far which I have in my signature too. It looks like a lot of people are getting biometrics pretty quick so I hope we get ours soon. 

 

This is Marriage based from B2 visa AOS within the USA. Married to a US Citizen (Me) filing for my Spouse. 

 

My current Timeline:

June 9, 2020 - Form I-130 filed electronically through USCIS.gov

June 10, 2020 - Form I-130 Accepted

June 11, 2020 - Form I-130 I-797 PDF available for download with priority date of June 9, 2020

June 16, 2020 - Mailed I-485 packet* along with I-131 and I-765

June 18, 2020 - USPS confirms packet delivered

July 20, 2020 - Credit Card charged

July 27, 2020 - I-797 letters received for I-485, I-765, and I-131 with a received date of June 18, 2020

 

*Packet was mailed without I-693 medical. Will wait for an RFE and take it to the interview. Also, tax transcripts were not available at the time so copies of the tax returns were sent and a cover letter explaining why. 

 

 

Wondering if you are not required to file I-944 based on your visa status? If not, you are lucky....I-944 is RFE magnet

Oh no the I-485 packet included the I-944 and I-864.

I put the wrong house hold size. My laptop auto populated the house hold size to one for some reason, when it should have been two. I didn’t know how to change it until someone on here was kind enough to explain it to me. I got the RFE and was able to change it luckily. Hopefully no more RFEs.

Glad it was a easy fix. Good luck!
