Concurrent filing for AOS I-485, EAD I-765, and AP I-131 after marrying on a K1

 

Mailed USPS (Chicago Lockbox): May 1

Delivered: May 2

Text messages: May 5

 

Some updates

Check cashed: May 8

2 NOAs: May 9 (NOAs from NBC dated May 4)

 

Sadly, we only received 2 NOAs (for I-765 and I-131). The envelopes were in a pretty nasty state which makes me a bit worried about the NOA for the I-485 (hope USPS didn't lose it/destroy it). Did anyone here had to deal with a similar situation? Should we contact USCIS if we don't get the last NOA in a few days?

I'd say wait a few days for the online access code information, then you'll be able to sign on and see if all your cases were received. Did you put them in the same package?

Thanks! I already have all 3 case numbers from the text messages my wife received, so best to my knowledge that also confirms the I-485 was received. But isn't the I-485 NOA the only proof my wife will have of legal status in the US once her I94 from her K1 entry expires in 2 months? Can you print the I-485 NOA from the online portal?

Yes. The notice will be online and you can print from there as well.

It's in .pdf form you'll have to download it to your pc then print!

Thank you both! Hopefully we get access to the online portal soon.

Happy to report w got the access code letter yesterday, 10 days after mailing our application.

 

Will the USCIS really notify us of any updates via email/text as soon as they're available in the portal (e.g. when the biometrics appointment is scheduled), or do we have to keep checking for updates ourselves?

 

On a side note, I've noticed that all the evidence we submitted for all 4 forms including the I-864 was lumped under the I-485 case, and there's no evidence listed under the other cases. Also, a few of my pay slips and my tax return transcripts haven't been scanned. Was curious if others have experienced the same thing.

the access code is the first notification? 
Uscis has received our application on 05.05 but we haven’t heard from them since. Is that normal?

Did you get the text messages with your case numbers? Did the USCIS cash your check/charge your card? Either way, it's still pretty early

We haven’t received any text messages or email with the case number. 
i know it’s early but the package is delivered and it seemed weird to wait that much.

We sent ours in on the 22nd to the Chicago location. Haven't gotten any notifications from them yet but the money was just taken out of my account this morning, so we know they got it.
