oh I don't know but I have noticed that aos from non-immigrant visas are taking a little longer to process, I've seen it in couple of cases, I'm kind of in it tho I don't have an answer yet

I don’t know how they are working! My understanding is that they are just checking if you submitted the right forms, they are properly filled and signed and the payment is correct and goes through, so it should bot matter much what type of visa, but I might be wrong!

oh for sure! mine is just a guess to what I've seen, but I don't know but if it was rejected for me it would have been on the mail already (by previous experience), so I don't know exactly I was just guessing to what I've seen

oh ok, I'm adjusting from B-2, my package was delivered on april 7th, no response yet, I checked the mailbox to see if my package was rejected already but nothing, I talked to a live agent and they say the same thing they told you, to wait up to 60 days. My name is not still in their system yet . My first package (rejected) was on my mailbox at week #5 of sending. I can't believe I'm in this since Feb. 25th tbh

Hey Alvin, in your initially rejected package for AOS to chicago, were you required to include the letter from USCIS telling you about the rejection in the refiled package? My credit card company declined the transaction (they thought it was a fraud after I repeatedly called them before hand) and I am expecting the whole package to be rejected. Since I am sure it will be rejected, I am thinking of sending everything out again because it takes 4-6 weeks before they attempted to process the payment before.

if they didn't charge then you can resend the stuff again. They said in the rejected package to attach the green paper that they sent, so I re sent my package with the green letter on top, but I've heard people re sending the stuff again before the expected reject pavckage arrives. if it is the first time applying and your first packet was rejected because of payment they are not keeping any info of you in the system yet so I think you can resend the package again without waiting for the rejected one. In the paper said that this green paper is not a NOA or anything like that, so it would be like you didn't send anything like that. only thing that you need to be aware of is that it is going to be a new process so your forms, payment and everything needs to be to the latest forms in the uscis website. This time try to use checks, I did that but I dont have any notice yet.

Hi guys,

I am also still waiting. Mine was received on 16th of April via USPS. I have a question- Can everyone share which carrier they use to mail the packages? I think I read somwehre the USPS its slower tha the rest, but not sure ho much of a truth that is. And yes is supper stressful and every time I see package comming on my informed delivery I am about to geta  hard attack thinking is the USCIS package comming back ! Quite stresfull process!

I used usps and they were supposed to deliver the next day on a friday, and they delivered it on Saturday, so it still got delivered under 48 hours and i got my money back.

We resend our AOS package on April 28th with USPS, and just got the text and email receipt from USCIS today May 19th. It took three weeks, hope to receive the I-797 notice in the mail soon.

Sent my  AOS packet on April 27th, Just received my receipt notices today from EMMA.  I contacted CIS ombudsman office and they helped me a lot in locating the packet.

Can you share more info about how did you contact CIS? Every-time when i call or chat with  Emma they arw saying I am within the 60 days time frame ( they received mine on 16th of April). How did you find their contact info and did you email

or call them? Thanks!

For those who have received their I-797 notices, how long did it take after getting the texts? I got texts with receipt numbers 2 weeks ago but still haven't received anything in the mail.

Omg mine was received at the lockbox on 04/24 and still nothing. Trying to stay positive.

Update: credit card was charged on 05/19 and received text messages with receipt numbers on 05/20. We sent our package with USPS. 

We're concurrent filing if that's helpful for someone, so original submission 🥺
