Hi !!!!

hi guys , new to the forum

Marriage based AOS - I-130, I-485 & I-765, I-131

Sent via USPS on April 11th with tracking to Chicago Lockbox.
Email & text notifications received April 19th

current status " reviewed biometrics and still processing your case" since May 1st

what's the next step and the expected timeline ?

Thanks

Thank you all!
I know it was within the normal timing, which is why I didn't call USCIS or post to this forum in a state of panic. But there's a lot of people receiving them faster I kept my cool by searching for the slow ones, I'm just a very nervous person to begin with.

I will for sure keep you all updated on my process, just browsing here has given me a peace of mind I hope to be able to give others with my timeline myself.

The whole process is a waiting game.
Dont give up hope!!

Marriage based AOS - I-130 (+I-131), I-485 & I-765

April 20th: Documents mailed in
April 23rd: Documents received by USCIS
May 4: Notice date
May 11: 4 NOA's received in mail

I was starting to get nervous as most people receive their NOA's faster than this.
Hopefully the rest of the process will be faster, this is nerve wrecking!

I do not see anything wrong with your timeline. You did mail your documents on a Friday, which added an extra day or two, and likely trusted USPS with this. Fedex is best for these matters.
Your NOAs were generated on May 4th, which tells me your receipt numbers were available 10 days post delivery of your AOS package to USCIS lockbox. You could have called the National Customer Service Number. There's never been an issue with getting the receipt numbers on day 10 if your applications have not been rejected, of course. OR you could have chatted with Emma.
Your NOAs arrived on May 11th. That is exactly 7 days after May 4th when they were generated. I'd say all of that is pretty standard. There were no delays.
You do have the Cleveland, OH office. That's the fasted office in the country. As soon as you get your biometrics appointment letter, just do a walk-in, and get it done. There may or may not be a computer glitch. Don't count on it. The biggest delays are always from RFEs and those are self-inflicted.

By the way, your field office is not involved in any of this before your case reaches the "Case is ready to be scheduled for interview" stage. Right now, your file is at the National Benefits Center. That used to be the Missouri Service Center. That's why your receipts start with MSC. Your file will remain there until your field office has a slot for your interview. In other words, all cases move relatively at the same speed up until the "case is ready to be scheduled for interview" stage. If you have a fast office, you get scheduled for interview. Your file is then sent from the NBC to your field office. You are also notified that it has been received by your field office.
If you have the Minneapolis Field office, one of the slowest in the country, (I do), your case will sit at that stage for a long time anywhere between 14.5 months to 18 months in some cases.

All the best.

Tezza is right. It just depends on the office you?re applying from. Your case is coming along so I wouldn?t be too worried but I understand, we are all pretty anxious. You should be receiving your biometrics appointment notice in about 7-10 days. Keep us updated!

I feel you, the whole thing is nerve wracking! And when you see people's timelines that have moved quicker than yours it just makes you worry about what's happened to your own case! But it just goes by field office, some are faster than others. You can find processing times for each field office on the USCIS website.

It sounds like you're moving forward though. It's cheap to say but "be patient". It's easier said than done, I know!

Good luck.

Oh man, the most I heard was them misplacing the marriage certificate. Send it out today!! use Fedex overnight if you need to so they have it by tomorrow

Yea I was surprised. I know for a fact I sent it in. It's not like my birth certificate is difficult to read either since I'm Canadian. It doesn't need to be translated. I'm just glad it was something simple. I sent in out today via Fedex, they will receive it on Wednesday.

[jazzya]

I just received my request for initial evidence letter in the mail. They're telling me to submit my birth certificate, which I already did with my original submission. I guess they misplaced it. I'm going to send another copy with the letter today.

[QUOTE=Goodly;565712]

Marriage base AOS, B2, no lawyer
April 21 - Mailed to Chicago
April 27 - check cashed
April 30 - received 4 emails from USCIS with receipt numbers

We still not received AOS yet via mail... Very nervous about this. Called to the local post office, they said that mail could be not delivered if the name wasn't included in the mail box. Name now included.
I registered on the USCIS and it shows they accepted the docs April 23. Hope we will receive NOAs soon. Waiting for fingerprint receipt as well.[/QUO

Received 4 NOA-1 5/5/18

It normally takes within 10 days to get the information processed and sent to you. The fingerprints will take another (inside) 15 days.
Congratulations!!
