Same here  The package was delivered on 11/10 and no news since((  

Good to see you again. Phoenix seems to be moving fairly quickly at the moment, so hopefully you'll hear something soon.

 

Just received the NOA/Extension. Received Date - 11/09, Notice Date - 11/14. Hoping we're not going to fall into the biometrics black hole. Got some upcoming travel in Jan.

My case was updated yesterday (got the app notification this morning) to say ‘case was updated to show finger prints were taken’. 

 

So I'm wondering if that means biometrics from AOS will be reused. 

 

I'll update again if I see anything else show up😃

Yes, that's exactly what it means.

Yup it does. Hope I get the same tho it kinda sucks that we have to pay for something that's not actually done in the end. Kinda would like to get my money worth out of it 🤣 then again with those gas prices I don't mind not driving out there.

I agree. I literally said to my husband this morning, “would be nice to be refunded my bio fee!” which I know will never happen since they lost my medical file and I had to pay to redo it despite it not being my fault lol. 
 

Thankfully the place where I went for last biometrics, & the interview is only 2.5 miles from our house! 🥳

We moved so my field office is now closer than before but my ASC for biometrics is next to the Philly Airport and I have no interest in going there 🤣

Hello all, I hope to be a November filer. Sent 11/16 via UPS overnight to Elgin, IL. Delivered on the 17th. Paid via personal check, any idea/rough timeline when can I expect them to cash the check and send the receipt notice? I did attach the text/email form with the application, did all by myself instead of hiring an attorney like I did during AOS, a little nervous and anxious because of it LOL. Would it be a fair to expect a receipt number notification before thanksgiving?

Seems like many get their texts 3-5 days after USCIS received the packet and the paper notice about 2 weeks after. The check might get cashed around the same time.

Hi all, I received my extension letter today.

 

Packet received by USCIS: 11/08

Text received with application number: 11/10

Check cashed: 11/15

Notice dated: 11/16

Notice received: 11/19

 

I'll update if/when I hear about biometrics.

 

Good luck everyone!

Hey guys will be filing this month as well. I've heard differing opinions on this, but is your evidence:

 

1. Dated since the day you got married, aka the entirety of your marriage or

 

2. Dated since the day you got your conditional green card? 

 

We got married in 2019 and it wasn't until 2021 I got my card...but wondering if AOS covers that 2 year period.

USCIS says to send as much evidence as you can. We see many approaches to this and it's up to you what you feel comfortable with. 

Some send everything and all, some send only from the time they get their greencard. I sent from the date of marriage but only quarterly bank statements and recurring bills.

@deltaforce628

Entirety of the marriage is your best bet!

Receiving this email today from this website wasn’t pleasant to think about even if it is just an estimate VJ has. 😕  I keep telling myself that at least I’m eligible to apply for citizenship in late August of 2023 which really isn’t that far away but it sure has felt good not to really think about USCIS for the last 2 years compared to now. 😅

@Meg101

You do know you can turn that off right? 😏 I just turned mine off it's  a bummer to see lol luckily it's only an estimate and does not really mean to much!
