[Afrolinda]

doubt

Forms Submitted - I-130, I-130a, I-131, I-485, I-693, I-485, I-765, I-864

City applied from - Columbus, OH
USCIS Lockbox - Chicago, IL
Documents Sent - 2/16/18
Received by USCIS - 2/20/18
Called USCIS and got my case numbers - 3/3
Text and Email Notification - 3/5
I-797c received in mail - 3/9
Biometric appointment mail - 3/16 ( Scheduled for 3/27)

Question- would it fasten the process if I get my biometrics done before 3/27?? Is it doable?

Hi Averma1988.
Why did you mailed your process to Chicago instead of submit it in Columbus? what is a lockbox?

Thank you!

Hello

just sharing my experience as this is helpful:
Married to USC, entered with B2 visa

Documents sent from Ohio, 797 were sent from MSC office
sent on: 2/5/2018
delivered on:2/7/2018
PD: 2/7/2018
checks were cashed on 2/15
Receipt confirmed by text and email for the 3 forms on: 2/16
received 3 letters confirming receipt on: 2/23
the letter for i-485 stated another letter would come in with biometrics appointment
bio appointment letter received on: 2/24
appointment date: 3/5


I think the next step is just wait for an update on I-765 regarding EAD, hoping this wont be more than a couple of months

did you send you I693 medical at the same time?

Concurrent filing

Hi Averma1988.
Why did you mailed your process to Chicago instead of submit it in Columbus? what is a lockbox?

Thank you!

Hey. So I did a concurrent filing which means I applied for I-485, I-765 and I-130 simultaneously. And as far as I know, all concurrent filing application needs to be sent to Chicago Lockbox. Lockbox I guess its just a mailing address. Check more information here: https://www.uscis.gov/i-130-addresses

did you send you I693 medical at the same time?

February 2018 Filer TL

We also filed concurrent. We filed forms I-130, I-485, and I-765.

Priority date: 02/20/2018
Biometrics completed: 03/20/2018

Haven't heard anything since which was only a week ago. The status hasn't changed from the day they received the package. Hopefully it's not a waiting game with the EAD. My husband is so ready to get to working.

[jzgr24]

definitely a waiting game

it totally is a waiting game, i had my bio completed on 3/5 and status has not changed from case has been received, its my understanding it doesnt change until the case is approved and the card is being produced

We also filed concurrent. We filed forms I-130, I-485, and I-765.

GL all!!

Hey All.
I am a citizen and we put my husbands documents Cocurrent filling Applied February 13th and they received February 15th.
We have been married since November 2016, while he waited in me to become a citizen.
Well he had fingerprint scheduled March 21st but we did early walked in March 10th as we had trip plan.
On USICS website receipt number for I-30 showing application received.
Receipt number for I-485 however showing fingerprint done. And where it shows next step if you create account or log in it states "Next step to approve I-485. I have a friend that applied 1 month before us and their I-485 receipt number is not even pulling up they have only been married 4 months.
That's that mean they might just give my Husband a Green Card?. Were so confused we should be hearing from them in a few weeks hopefully.
We had a daughter who was a premie and passed at 2 weeks old . We included her birth and death certificate also not sure if that's doing anything.
Can yall share thoughts please?. THank you

Biometric appointment from TSC

Hey guys,

Could you please tell me how long TSC takes to schedule biometric appointment after receiving I-485 application? I have applied in second preference.

Early walk-in for biometrics

Hello guys, I have seen one or two people talk about early walk in for the biometrics appointment. Is it possible to go on a date that is different from the day scheduled by the USCIS? And how do you go about that?

I485

Hi... I?m a feb 2018 filer.
For last 1 week I?m unable to pull up my i485. It shows invalid and error. Any idea why?

[hokie_u2]

You just take all the documents needed (the letter, passport) and show up on an earlier date. I told the security guy I was doing an early walk-in and he said ?that?s fine?. Check Yelp/Google Maps or other forums to see if other people have had luck with walk-ins at your local biometrics center.
