CONCURRENT FILING - PARENT OF US CITIZEN
I received the I-797 Approval of the I-130 petition and filed concurrent for my mother.
Do I need to send the approval notice to Lee's Summit, Mo since we filed the I-485 already?.
Besides, we did not file the I-765, and the PD start on 12/05/2016, should I sent it now?
I really appreciate some guidance.

Background check
I am from middle east and applied for i 485 based on marriage.
After 6.5 months of waiting, I went to info pass today and realized that I am still in background check process as it is still pending after 6.5 month. Do you know what is typical time frame for background check? should I be worried about it as it is taking long time?

Denver Interview Appointment Notice
Hello all Denver filers,

I received an interview appointment by letter today.
My PD is November 1, 2016, and my case is AOS based on marriage to US citizen.
I received my EAD card on February 3, 2017 (in hand).
I just want to share the news with you all, especially to those whose online case status is not regularly updated.
My online case status was never updated, not even once after the cases were received.
They still say "Fingerprint Fee Was Received" and "Case Was Received," for both forms I-485 and I-130.
I hope that this information helps. The Denver office is already scheduling interviews for November 2016 cases.

Interview
NYC folks! Had an interview today (5/17/17), and seemed to go well, but no on the spot decision. Anyone experience the same and have a timeline? Also in case people are wondering, PD was early July of 2016. (And if anyone has questions about what they asked - it was very simple!)

Confusing and frustrating experience.
Hello everyone, I am in a very desperate situation and need help clearing things up.

I have an approved I-130 since the year 2008 (my father is a USC). In the waiting time for my priority date to arrive I got married (in 2011) and now have a daughter (born in 2013).

We (the 3 of us) came to the US in December 2016 with a tourist visa. We applied for adjustment of status because my priority date came up in the visa bulletin but my spouse and daughter are not listed in my I-130. I have people from a filing center with decades of experience telling me that everything is good with our forms and that this is the way to do this. My I-485 is in process since 03/08/2017 and I had my Biometrics taken in 03/30/2017, but my wife's and daughter's I-485 has been returned today for the 4th time stating that:

"it is being returned for the following reasons: 'Based on the information you provided, your priority date could not be established. Please resubmit your application with the proper documentation to the address listed on the bottom of this notice.
The following documents may be provided:
Your original Form I-130 if you are filling concurrently; or
A copy of your Form I-797 if the I-130 petition has already been filed/approved; or
other evidence that an immigration visa petition has been filed/approved on your behalf' "

I need to know if we should be filling in a different way than what is suggested by the filling center we paid.
Do I need to update my own I-130 so that they are listed there?
My I-485 is in process, can I wait for my interview and add them there?
Should I wait until my GC is approved to file for them?
Any other advice would be most helpful.

Thanks in advance.
