I read somewhere that it's a bug, but I also read somewhere that it's "employment based" because they intend to bypass the EAD.

In addition to the letter, I received this email below, so I will totally ignore the update on USCIS page:

*** DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS E-MAIL *** 

There has been a recent processing action taken on your case. 

Receipt Number: MSC............

Application Type: I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR ADJUST STATUS 

Your Case Status: Testing and Interview 

On March 20, 2018, we scheduled an interview for your Form I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR ADJUST STATUS, Receipt Number MSC.......... We will mail you an interview notice. Please follow any instructions in the notice. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address. 

If your case status indicates that you are currently in this step, you have either been scheduled for an interview or are in line to be scheduled for an interview. The amount of time your application will remain in this step will vary by office and is largely determined by the number of cases ahead of yours. The interview notice will have specifics about time, location and anything you will need to bring to your interview. If your application remains pending beyond our normal processing times (as shown below) please contact our national customer service center at 1-800-375-5283. Please note that not every application/applicant will require an interview. In some instances, an interview is required by regulation and others an interview is requested because USCIS has determined that this is the most efficient means to determine eligibility. For a naturalization application the interview will include your taking the required English and/or Civics tests (unless exempt or waived).

• Current processing times can be found on the USCIS website at under Check Processing Times.

Oh dear... that's four of us now!!

Hey guys that have received their interview letters today... how do you read the list item "Original and copy of each supporting document that you submitted with your application".

 

I'm confused as I thought the supporting documents were the affidavit, police clearance, 2 passport sized photos, letter from employer, photos of us etc. but the letter also states some of these are not required if submitted already. I'm really confused as to what this sentence means. Is it just the originals of my ID, birth certificate and marriage cert (and a copy incase they have lost the copy already sent) or do I basically have to recreate the entire I485 application packet in original and copy form? I have googled and it seems the police cert isn't required but to my knowledge this is a "supporting document" so therefore it should be required as part of that vague sentence. By "supporting" documents do they mean proof of relationship, because this is noted as "Supporting evidence" earlier in the letter? Or is it all documents sent with the I485? One poster said she was asked for biometrics form G325A at interview. I've been online for the past 5 hours or so and I'm getting noodle brain

 

I think you should just get copies of everything you submitted in addition to the originals.

Itemize them and add other supporting documents you have acquired so far. Even if you have submitted it already, it won't hurt to have everything with you in case it is requested again. Go with everything so as to avoid any delay because of it.

Wawuuuuuuu! Whattttt. I got my interview notice today slated for April 28th, 2018. When i saw the mail via informed delivery this morning, I assumed it could either be my EAD approval notice or change of address notice as i updated my address online last week. Good luck to everyone waiting. it is surely a pleasant surprise and big relief.

 

April 24th i mean

I'll let you know what it is for after they call me back today. It really sucks that I'm having this tracking issue, though. All I can see is my case was last updated on Feb 26, but I either see a blank page or I get a user-definer error when I check the case status. But yeah, the rep said they sent out a request for interview on Feb 27. Hopefully, that's really good news. Good luck to us!

Wow! if indeed it's your interview notice, it's sure a pleasant surprise. My status has not been updated since January 18th, it is still showing the "we received your case" even though I had done my biometrics, received a RFE for Form I-693. Please whats the number to call? i want to call them as well, maybe i will also receive a request for an interview.#tongueincheek#.

Hello hope everyone is having a good day

 

 

                                                                        So I received biometrics apt letter for march 6 so looking forward to that. Also logged in to My USCIS account my i485 application status changed to RFE sent out I hope its an easy fix. Are there any common generic RFE's that are sent out so I can be on the look out for what they may ask ????

 

Thanks in advance for responses appreciated

It depends on what you have submitted and what they will request for further verification. Usually, most people receive a RFE for Form I-693 i.e medical/vaccine form. I received that because I did not submit it with my application. That's the only one I know that may be termed as generic.

Wondering if anyone else received the yellow page Courtesy Letter for form I-693? And does anyone knows where in the timeline this letter normally comes? I did some research on VJ yesterday it seems like most of the time you will get an interview notice shortly after the Courtesy Letter, not sure if this is 100% true though.

I recieved the letter and it was dated February 8th. Meanwhile the original date for my bio app was Feb 9th. Thank God i went for a walk-in on January 29th, my baby arrived 2 days after my bio appointment date. I would not have made the appointment..

Hello guys, anybody here living in Maryland please?

Here is my Timeline:

Priority date: Jan8th

3 NOAs received on Jan 22th dated Jan 18th

I am starting to get a bit worried because it is almost 30days and no biometrics letter appointment yet, the NOAs stated that my applications were transferred to the National Benefit center, from my little research, according to where I live it was sent to Baltimore which is pretty slow from what I read.

So either everything is fine and they are just slow or the letter was sent and maybe lost in the mail...

I signed up for Informed delivery, email notifications on the case status online and also have the USCIS app and t doesnt show any update.

 My husband thinks I am worried for nothing, but I thought I would ask just to get a 2nd opinion. 

Thanks

Have a great week

 

Hi. I live in Maryland.

My timeline is as follow:

PD: Jan 5th

NOA: Jan 11 

i-797  received on Jan 18th

Biometrics notice received: Jan 27th (notice of action date written on it was Jan 18th)

Appointment scheduled for Feb 9th, I went for it on Jan 29th.

Also, the National Benefit Center is not at Baltimore, if your case number starts with MSC then your case is at the NBC in Missouri. The field office is located at Baltimore. Just give it some more few days. your biometrics appointment notice should arrive

Looks like we're on a very similar schedule! My biometrics appt. was scheduled for Feb. 6 as well, but walked in this morning since I'll be travelling at that time. 

 

Anyone have an idea of timeline from biometrics appt to interview notification?

Had  my biometrics done this morning as well. it went smoothly.

I filed the I-130 as well

 

Stewt was correct

If you file the I-130 then paying 1225 is not correct. you have to pay and extra 535 dollars for form I-130

Hi we are gathering our documentation filling out the paperwork for the AOS.

Do I have to include the I-639 with our application packet of I-485?

Thanks

 

Yes you can submit it with your AOS package. Also you are submit it in the following way posted on the USCIS:

If you are applying for adjustment of status, you may submit Form I-693 in one of the following ways:

• Submit Form I-693 by mail, together with your Form I-485, Application to Register for Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, to the location specified for your Form I-485 (see “Direct Filing Addresses for Form I-485”).
• Submit Form I-693 by mail, after filing your Form I-485, to the location specified in your most recent communication with USCIS (for example, a Request for Evidence letter from USCIS).
• Submit Form I-693 in person, at an interview in a USCIS field office (if an interview is required).

If they received already your fingerprint fee, you can walk in to the uscis office near you? How??

You cannot walk in for a biometrics appointment without an appointment letter. Wait for it to arrive in your mailbox and then you can try a early walk-in If need be or just comply with the appointment date stated on the letter

Wrong information  ! “As soon as you Step into the country you can file your I-485”

 

when an applicant arrives in the US with a K1 Visa , they have to get marry with in 90 days.

after they got married they can apply for AOS.

Not as soon as they step into the US.

 

Thanks for explaining it out explicitly. I assume that she would be getting married as soon as she steps into the country, which makes my point that she can file it as soon as she steps into the country objective and not wrong. However, your explanation leaves no room for confusion..

USPS said my package will definitely arrive into USCIS by this Saturday. 

I should not send this by USPS in the beginning, sigh....

Should I wait or I should resend?

 

Call them that you want to raise an inquiry, that would at least trigger some check by the postman's superior. I will also say, just wait. because sending another one now as earlier said will cause confusion with the USCIS. Don't worry all will be well. I know the wait can be very frustrating. You are close already. you may be surprised that it has been delivered.

It updated on the USPS tracking that mine was delivered on 7th January. however when I got my NOA it stated that my file was received on 5th January.

I see. thanks for the info.So do we have to do it immediately ? is there a time frame in which to do it in? or can we do it like a month or 2 later?  

Well, you can do it within the time you stated. however, it's best to just get it out of the way as soon as you can.
