 I may be wrong but from what I understood they're waiving them for EAD renewal applicants so I'm not sure if it would apply to i-485 and people applying for EAD the first time.

I don't think "waived" is the word. I think some people who have given biometrics before example Asylum,DACA etc may have their biometrics reused.

Finally got our NOAs in the mail today. USPS is slow...

 

One oddity is that the A-Number on the notices is new. I already had an A-Number, which I included on all the forms we submitted. But it seems that they assigned me a new one. Anyone else experienced this?

Thanks - that was my situation too, I got an A-Number from F-1 OPT around 10 years ago. Hopefully it won't complicate things...

Check cashed and text messages received. 

Just to give others the timeline; I mailed the AOS package on 04-28-2021. Received texts on 05-28-2021.

Since the AOS process is something new, what happens now?
