Good to hear! When did you submit your change of address, and how did you confirm that the change of address was successful?

I did the change of address in May. Received email notification after 2 weeks but no paper mail. Called last June inquiring about biometrics and also asked if my address in their records has been updated.

You can see that on USCIS website. When you login you can put your case numbers to see updates on your case.

Yep, waiting for the combo card and an interview. The most recent people at my field office seem to have waited about 10 months for an interview, so I'm expecting around that.

Yes, both of your situations seem normal, same happened to me:

 

USCIS doesn't change the case status when Bio is mailed.

Bio letter doesn't state the I-131 case.

@Meilyn22 weird bc they don’t change the status online when bio is scheduled!

I think I read that only happens for people who were able to file online for part of the application - not the case for most K1 AOSers.

I don't understand what you mean. I already know when my bio is scheduled even without receiving a letter in the mail. The reason being that they sent a message to my congressman and he forwarded the message to me. So I am just waiting for the letter. But I saw that my biometrics is scheduled online.

Ok my cases just got updated to "fingerprints taken" two days after the appointment, too. 👍

Hey all, 

 

just had our interview this morning. The officer was very thorough and professional, but made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process. At the end of the 30 minute interview he asked whether we wanted to add anything to our application so we handed him updated bank statements and utility bills. Upon asking whether he wanted this and that, he said no need, you guys have tons of evidence and I see that huge folder you have there. 
 

after that he told us he was going to approve our case and told us about the conditional GC.

 

overall a stressful process, but in the end it all worked out! Glad to take a break from USCIS for a while!

 

feel free to ask any questions!

Update, received my biometrics appointment letter in the mail today. However, I did not receive any online notifications, and nothing changed on the USCIS case status tracker. It still shows "Case was received", which was a bit strange.

 

3/16/2021: Packet posted via UPS

3/18/2021: (PD) I-130/I-485/I-131/I-765/I-864/I-693 packet delivered to Chicago lockbox via UPS.

4/13/2021: 4 texts received, 4 receipt numbers. Fingerprint fee received for I-485 the day before according to status checker.

7/01/2021: Submitted a change of address for all 4 forms (AR-11)

7/17/2021: Notice date for biometrics appointment, scheduled for 8/11/2021

7/28/2021: Received appointment letter at mailing old address (!!), but scheduled to the correct ASC jurisdiction (Tampa) somehow (was previously under Houston ASC jurisdiction, as I previously lived near Houston).

 

I will attempt an early walk-in tomorrow morning. Will report back if successful.

 

Also, while I did submit an I-131 form, the biometrics letter only mentions forms I-485 and I-765 under "Case Type". Is this normal?

 

Tried walking in early for my biometrics at the Tampa ASC at the end of the day an hour before closing, was turned away by security guard and told to come back on my appointment day. Oh well.

 

Also, finally received an email confirmation about my change of address today, but seems like they only applied it to the I-485. Took them about a month.
