Congratulations. Try this:

May I know when you applied and from what status? Your timeline is empty. 

I originally applied for consular processing in Montreal, Canada. Due to covid, changed it to AOS. Somehow wouldn't let me change my timeline.

AOS Package received: 07/29/2020

NOA1 Received: 08/18/2020

Bio Appointment (for (765) letter received: 08/28/2020

Bio Appointment: 09/11/2020

Did you get the notice for code 3 (for I485) before you went back? We haven't got that yet.

Annoyingly I got it originally at the same time as Code 2 but the receptionist at the ASC didn't read it properly and so they only took Code 2... File under "the many ways USCIS makes this harder every step of the way..."

Just a little positive update on processing times.

Wow! That was fast!  I hope I get my biometrics soon too.

Guys, Today I received in the mail the NOAs of my family based AOS. The NOAs for I-130, I-485, I-765, and I-131.  In this regard, my timeline is as follows:

 

• Package sent on 07/31/2020. 
 

• Package received by USCIS on 08/03/2020.

 

• I-130 check cashed on 08/28/2020. 

 

• I-485 check cashed on 09/01/2020.

 

• NOA1 for I-130, I-485, I-765, and I-131 received in the mail on 09/11/2020

 

As you can see guys, both checks were cashed within the 4th and 5th week from the filing date. And it took 42 days from the filing date, for the NOAs to arrive in the mail.

@Celebi i am not sure what was wrong with it from their point of view, from mine maybe te quality of the script so i sent an old one but more legible and also the stamps on it. Hopefully it will work this time!

I found this thread pertaining to Venezuelan birth cert that you might want to check as well:

I hope you get your RFE sorted soon, too

Just a bit different question but how do you guys occupy yourself during the time when we wait for EAD card? I miss working!

I have been learning how to cook hahaha. Never cooked when I was in my country, so this has been a challenge but I'm doing pretty good hahaha. Also watching Netflix (never watched so many movies in one week), reading, working out, puzzles, drawing, felting, etc... 

And I'm going to start volunteering some days per month in one of the museums here. Probably you could find volunteering opportunities near you.

I'm worried that when I get my EAD, I'll be so used not to work and sleep until late hahaha... This is a challenge for all of us!

Same! I could do anything fried before I got married but now, surprisingly, I can cook decent American/ Spanish/ Filipino dishes  When I'm not doing chores, I'm binging on HGTV shows. LOL

I miss working too! I've been seeing job opening on linkedin and indeed which are aligned with my profession and I wanted to apply so bad. Haha! 

 

I also cook, workout, run, hike (but LA's poor air quality right now makes me stick to indoor workouts), help with my sis in-law's airbnb, we also have furr babies here so atleast it takes aways some boredom. You can try taking some online certification also from Google Digital Garage

 

It's been almost 2 mos. Now since I applied for AOS and the last thing I received from them was the deficiency notice for medical. No biometrics yet.

After sending an updated I-864, I haven't heard anything from USCIS as well. I feel like July applications are at a standstill. August filers are moving, though. It makes me wonder if they are just doing the initial checking, cashing payments and sending NOAs then putting everything else on hold 😔

Any July fliers who received biometrics appointment? Any update on the wait time?

I’m Buffalo, NY and still waiting for biometrics. End of October will be the 90 day mark for me, I’ve been checking online with Emma on a weekly basis just to see if an appointment has been scheduled
