February 2018 submission- i-130, i-485, i-765 - concurrent filing

[UScitizenFilingforspouse]

I am getting frustrated now, since a month the last update on my case I-485 is we review your biometric and we are still processing your application. Dont know what to do? I call the helpline and still ask me to hold on. I need a job to support my wife am tired of sitting at home.
Also my case number not working on uscis website saying user error but works on dhs.despite several complain nothing is done.

Is this the error you see? We suspect that people get that error right before there is a system tools outage, during which an update occurs and your interview date is then revealed. You can be at this stage for a while, though. In other words, some people have had this validation error for a month. Then, the site gets updated, if you regain access to your case, your interview date is revealed. Similarly, those who are up next, will lose access to their cases during and after the outage, and will remain at that stage until the next outage/update wave.

Do you have the case tracker app? You should be able to look up +/- 500 receipts around you and see if others also have that validation error.

I just noticed that my i485 timeline (new "check case account") only says

Feb 6 - we received your case
Feb 6 - we received your biometrics FEE and are reviewing your case
Feb 23 - we need more information from you (RFIE)
March 8 - we received your RFIE response and you case is no longer on hold.


Mine DOES NOT say "we received your biometrics" Is this normal?! I did my biometrics on Feb 26. My other two cases (I175 and I130) also do not mention that my biometrics have been received.

I am thinking you are referring to your dhs.gov account and not to egov.uscis.gov. Have you looked at egov and the tracker app? So for right now, I would not stress too much about updates BlahBlah1846, because you placed that request for expedited processing and they will have to evaluate it and "touch" your case. They will have to issue a response to your request and we will know Yes vs No, and along with that, whether your biometrics has been reviewed. Your EAD/AP won't be issued without it. So I think you're good. Just get through the weekend.

Is this normal?!

Yeah, unfortunately, not all sites update. Have you tried the case tracker app? Here's what I see on my end.

It?s just blank. It says ?My? and nothing below it.

I?m on the same boat. My I485 has been showing blank with just ?my? message since 4/18 when it updated. I called and spoke to a level 2 officer and he told me ?case is ready to be scheduled for an interview?. It won?t import on the USCIS tracker too. I don?t get email updates even though I signed up for them. I just rely on informed delivery by USPS. It?s frustrating to say the least.

Wow the app is great! Unfortunately it won?t import my I-485 case. Perhaps an officer is currently working on it. I?ll try again tomorrow. Thanks again!

Nice! Does it say "validation error"?

Hi All!

February Filer here - concurrent I-765/I-130/I-485 to Chicago lockbox. My timeline is:

2/16/2018 --> Sent in application packet
2/20/2018 --> Application was received at lockbox (2 day shipping but Monday was a holiday)
3/something --> Request for biometrics
3/something --> Walk-in, did biometrics before the appointment
4/4/2018 --> Reviewed biometrics & still processing case (on DHS account)
4/19/18 --> SR to Expedite because my husband's OPT ends June 4 and I-765s have been taking 3-5 months AFTER biometrics, and I got nervous
4/20/18 --> Request to fax documents proving that my husband will be terminated without new docs (they asked for a signed letter from company "officer" on official letterhead)
4/26/18 --> Sent in the most recent email from HR, a signed letter from HR, and a signed letter from his boss
5/4/2018 --> Got text about change of status. Went to eGov and saw that "New Card Being Produced"

No updates to I-130 or I-485. We have an eGov account as well as a DHS account. eGov shows nothing after 2/20 for I-130/I-485, DHS account shows the "we are reviewing your biometrics and processing your case" for both the I-765 and the I-485, nothing for the I-130.

Nicely done! Being proactive pays off. Good for you!

By nothing, do you mean a "validation error" like the one below?

[UScitizenFilingforspouse]

No I did not. Thanks again again!

By the way, I tried to check the status of my I-485 application but nothing is showing up.

Awesome! To be clear, you did not reach out to your congress person then.

No I did not. Thanks again again!

Hey all,

2/14/18 case received
3/16/18 biometrics

In early April I submitted a request to expedite my EAD card under the category of Extreme Emergent Situation because I had nearly depleted my savings.. I received a letter in late April asking me to fax evidence of my situation. I provided them with bank balances and a job offer letter.

5/4/18 (may the 4th be with you) I received a text message saying my case has been updated. I logged on and sure enough it said my card is being issued.

I?ve heard nothing about an interview, my travel document, nor have I had an RFE. Happy to be able to work soon though.

Awesome! To be clear, you did not reach out to your congress person then.
