April 2024 - AOS Filers

Yes, I used UPS signed for once again when re-filing. I went through the package once again to check everything was there (as USCIS had muddled and barcoded the papers).

 

Only difference this time was that I included x2 checks for the i485 and i765 applications, and placed the green cover sheet (included when my package was returned). Guessing the green sheet helps identify the USCIS staff to fact the package had already been scanned and barcoded etc. 

 

2 days after delivery, I received confirmation that the checks had been cashed and receipt notice had been sent in the post. 

Thank you so much for the detailed information. Wishing you good luck in your process.  I'm waiting on my NOA since the 24th May. I have email USCIS  lockbox to enquire what going on. Fingers crossed 🤞🏿

You’re most welcome 😊.

 

Following the advice on this forum, I reached out to 'Ask Emma Live Chat' to get my access code. It took me about six attempts with different agents, but I finally found a really helpful one who provided the code. After that, I was able to ask for the date, location, and time of my biometrics appointment, which they gave me.

 

The access code lets you track your filings online, and the USCIS will also add your NOA to your account. You might also be able to reschedule your biometrics appointment for an earlier date from your account. Additionally, your biometrics appointment letter will be updated in your account by the USCIS.

 

I’m still waiting for the same notices to arrive by mail, but that's just a formality since the exact same paperwork is now available in my online account.

 

Hope this helps everyone in some way 😊.

The physical letters are important. Many USCIS letters are printed on protected watermarked paper. And many places don't accept self printed letters from USCIS account.

Updates: got all the mail with bio appointment, online access code and receipt numbers. Appointment scheduled on June 28. From what I read on the USCIS website we would only need this notification and password. do we need to prepare copies of any other documents? thank you everybody!

Thanks for the data point. I've seen reports of people having issues boarding planes / renewing DLs / removing restrictions from SS card using copies of I-797 and not the watermarked letters. These were the use cases I meant. Good to know some USCIS places accept copies.

For sure, I totally understand that I may have been one of the lucky ones. Hoping everybody else will have the same kind of luck 🙂

Congrats to everyone getting EADs approved.  My wife opted not to apply for EAD since she has her with DACA. This waitting game aint no joke. Hopefully we all get good news soon. GOOD LUCK to everyone and lets keep our status updated so we all have an idea of the steps. 

 

Gracias
