I did receive one, but all that it says is that app has been received and is in process.

My PD is 1/17 - I submitted I-130‚I-485 & I-765 at the same time

My I-130 has never been updated since it was entered into the online system (status date 1/25).

My EAD has been approved and is in hand

My I-148 interview has been scheduled for 6/7

The I-797C NOA for the I-130 states

Then my name / DOB / Country of Birth / Class are indicated below that followed by information underneath on how how to contact them if any of the info is incorrect.


On my I-485 there has only ever been one update after the initial entry which indicates the interview letter was sent.

Hi everyone, the current status of my application is this: On May 17, 2017, we received your Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, Receipt Number ..., and sent you the receipt notice that describes how we will process your case.

Please follow the instructions in the notice.

If you do not receive your receipt notice by June 16, 2017, please call Customer Service at 1-800-375-5283.

If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

I just received the notice, but there's no instructions in it. It just says: Petition has been received and is in process.

Is this what they mean?

It meant that your application has been received and is in process. Usually USCIS sends I-797 NOA for Receipt notice (acceptance of your application) and when they have made a positive decision regarding your application, then you will receive another I-797 NOA for Approval Notice.

I got 4 NOA and I also got biometrics appointment. Does that count as the positive decision regarding my application or no? Just a little confused.

[steadygaze]

A positive decision only comes after the interview. What you mentioned is just common practice.

Hi there, I'm trying to enter my case numbers on my USCIS but it returns as an invalid number. How long before they update the system with I-797 case numbers?

Help! Marriage broke down during AOS!

Hi everyone,

I am sad to report that my 3 year marriage has broken down during my AOS application.
It can't get more dramatic than that.
We have i-130, i-485, and i-765 in progress, but my partner, the US citizen, will not follow through with it.
It's my fault, basically, since for the last three years I have been trying to get him back on track: he's a tax evader, collects welfare, has criminal records, addicted to alcohol and drugs, and what else I don't know!!!

I was making some pressure on him to get straight since his behavior can be a liability for my AOS, but, to no avail.
He prefers to end our marriage.
I honestly am relieved by the fact we are done.
I know however that complicates my AOS tremendously.
I have a lawyer and will check with him to see what can be done.
I don't know if the fact that I've been married to him protects me somehow.
I don't know if I should sue him for domestic abuse including using our relationship to play around my immigration status.
I don't know if I should go an IO and explain everything to IO.
Should I just divorce him and get married to someone else????

You won't believe but I am smiling right now. It's so bad that I am laughing through this situation and hope the guy up there will let me know what I should do.

You guys have been incredible, so you if you have gone through a situation like this or know someone who has, please enlighten me!

US citizen is not looking for divorce or looking to withdraw petitions (at least not right now), so I guess I still have time to figure out.
Biometrics was done last week.

Thank you!

@steadygaze

I am very sorry to hear that. I'm glad you are happy. Maybe you should go for counseling with your hubby.
I wish you all the best. I hope you 2 work out.

Anyway, do talk to your lawyer first before any IOs.
