No news for us either yet... We only received the NOA1s and that's it. Waiting on the biometrics appointment letter.. I asked a USCIS rep if they could just use the previously submitted biometrics but they basically said no.

Did you ask about the USCIS rep about photos? Appreciate you response and hope we get some news soon. My wife already has a job offer but cannot accept it because of this delay.

I forgot about the pics. I mentioned there are companies interested in my qualifications, but that did not seem to qualify for biometrics situation. I chatted with one through Emma and that person sent me a list of reasons that would qualify for expedited biometrics appointment. They were like DACA, and nothing related to a job offer.. that was upsetting..

Okay, that is why I've not even attempted to talk to any reps. It usually creates more frustration for me and wastes my time. I'm hopeful that we will soon get some response from USCIS not that its been 90 days since they've received our packages. Thank you,

The AOS was received at Chicago Lockbox February 11, 2021 and we have not gotten a reply. I looked at stats and lots show the maximum time between AOS being received to NOA1 no more than 24 days. Does that sound right? Any shared wisdom on the subject is greatly appreciated.

 

Check this out https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/aosstats.php?cfl= - try filtering to last 3 months.

Since then we received NOA but still have not received the biometrics (Code 2). It looks like it was about 3 months for you to go from AOS NOA and that is where we are sitting now. I appreciate your reply and congratulations on getting your Green Card mailed!

So I have an update. I just checked the status of my I485 and it says RFE is sent today. I see no updates on the work permit and the travel document tho.. IDK what I missed to be honest..

[FantasicJourney 15]

Its good to get some acknowledgment that they are looking at your file. Really appreciate the update and hopefully its a quick fix. We checked and still have nothing but we are more hopeful that we will soon get some correspondents. Even an RFE would be acceptable at this time because it will give us a path forward.  Please continue to keep us posted as we will do the same.

Thank you,

It turns out they did not accept the birth certificate I sent. They want it from the consulate even though DHS's visa reciprocity has a few options available for where I am from. It is a relief that this is a quick fix and I guess there's no need to worry about the pictures anymore. 2 worked just fine luckily. 

[FantasicJourney 15]

Oh that's interesting news. We still have not gotten any feedback from USCIS and anticipating the photos to be the only reason for RFE. I'm glad that you have a clearer path to getting your permanent visa. Again thanks for the update and Ill do the same once I have something to report.

Looks like everyone's NOA is delayed? My package was delivered on 30 April. Check not cashed and no NOA in the mail yet. I hope I will hear something soon!😖

[FantasicJourney 15]

Lili_K Your still okay and will probably be cashed soon. You have another 1-2 weeks until it gets cashed (my estimate). So, the good news that things are moving forward although slowly. Best of luck and congratulations on your marriage!

We received are appointment letter for biometrics. We started the AOS journey Feb 11, 2021. So, its taken 6 months to get biometrics. Its actually an improvement as many have been waiting 8-10 months. A good indication that they are getting back to a regular schedule. Wishing everyone get good wishes.
