Another option would be to request one more noa as you have not received it.

Feb 26th - Received Text message and Case #'s for 485 and 765

Mar 3rd - Received 797C for both 485 and 765 thru mail

Mar 5th - Received update thru Lawfully that Biometrics schedule has been processed

Mar 7th - Received 797c for Online Access Code for "My USCIS" account of my wife. was able to print out Biometrics schedule

Mar 29th - Biometrics Appointment Schedule (will try to walk-in for an earlier date) We'll update everyone if successful.

 

 

 

My wife tried to have an early Biometrics at our local USCIS office here in Las Vegas. Due to backlog from last year, they are not accepting early walk-ins even if you have a valid excuse that you won't be able to make it on the date that was given to you. But they can accommodate you anytime after your appointment date.  So I guess we'll just wait out our original appointment date! Good Day everyone!!!

I will wait till next week since they only sent the text notification earlier this week 😊 but I’m guessing it should arrive in the mail by next week.

Got a RFE for the i-485 a few days ago -- we messed up on the household size because of the auto-filling when completing the PDF on a browser. Was not expecting to hear back so soon, hopefully this means we'll see an approval soon too!

 

NOA1: Feb 1st, 2022

RFE: Feb 17th, 2022

Nashville, TN

 

Did you put "0" on Part 5.  no 3  ? I received RFE to correct the household size . 

I am apply AOS for fiancée (now spouse).

My RFE was only for Part 5 #8, as I didn't have the right browser extension to edit the PDF. I had to fill in Part 5 by hand, but the auto-filling filled out #8 as "1" and I forgot to correct it.

 

Your issue is also very common. You are correct, Part 5 #3 should be "0", as you do not have a spouse NOT included in the petition.

I uploaded to the USCIS site. I think it is quicker than mailing. It has been a month since we submitted the RFE response and a little over 2 weeks since biometrics and we have not heard back yet. 

 

The official instructions state "you must submit a photocopy of your marriage certificate issued by the appropriate civil authority where the marriage took place", so I believe a copy would be fine.

My fiancée K1 visa expires on May 2020. We are currently processing AOS, EAD, and AP and it is under review. Do we need to do anything since AOS approval processing time is taking longer than 6 months?

im confused. has she enter USA with that fiance visa? because fiancee visa is void the moment the person enter US soil ( single use ). so the expiry date is irrelevant here
