March 2019 filers

[Sandracandrade]

I am new here .

I am also a March 2019 filer.

I am petitioning my husband i485/i130/i765/i131

Got married 12/2018
PD 3/8/2019
Biometrics done 4/3/2019
He is a current TPS holder which will expire 9/2019 and extended through 1/2020

Something interesting happened yesterday . We went on a mini vacation to Mexico (he has approved AP which expires 5/29/2019) last year we travelled and his passport then waswstamped "admitted through 5/29/2019" same as his AP . Yesterday his passport was stamped "admitted through 4/5/2020" I suppose CBP may see that we have a pending I765 application which was filed concurrently with I485?

Your pace seems normal.

I have already done my biometrics and was hoping that they would have completed my background check already. What's taking so long... : ) Also, is it even likely to be scheduled for an interview during the summer? F-1 student AOS to green card (married to USC)

Dang! That's a long time. I contacted my congressman and USCIS today to expedite my EAD as my current OPT EAD expires 05/15/19. Hopefully they don't reject me :3

what is your status right now?

I am currently on F-1 OPT status with pending AOS.

[DennisMarch]

I did my biometrics on March 29 and haven't had any updates either.

I did my biometrics 3 days ago. I thought there was going to be an acknowledgement within the first few days of biometrics completion.

If you still haven't received anything, i might as well stop hitting refresh on the USCIS status update page. lol.

I did biometric on 29 March, still no change on my status, just case was received on I765 and RFE on i485 (I sent on 1 April, they process on 4 April, no update)

[TXMarch2019]

Does anyone know if I can apply for an ID or driver's license with my receipts in TX. I haven't gotten an EAD yet but I have a ssn that says with DHS authorization

I feel the same! I am just imagining how crazy I look hovering over the case tracker app, refreshing every second, and still anticipating an update. At this point any notice or update would do (did my biometrics 04/05/2019)

You will have to wait until you have a EAD in your hand before you can apply for anything like a license or ID my friend.

Hi, what's your source?

Hi, what's your source?

Personal experience. As a student, my other international student friends and myself had to use our I-20s and F1 Visa to show that we maintained a lawful residence in the country. Once, I graduated and transferred over to OPT, I could not use my NOA (receipts) as a means to show lawful residence. Therefore, I gathered that the receipts only show that its holder is being processed for said lawful residence. In our friends case, he will have to wait until his EAD is in to show that he still has lawful residence in the USA. Also, please refer to the link: https://www.dps.texas.gov/driverlice...forlicense.htm I am currently awaiting my EAD too so that I can have my license renewed.

UPDATE: You can renew your license: https://www.dps.texas.gov/DriverLice...ulPresence.pdf Just show you I-797 for pending I-485. I am sorry- I will verify with my DMV soon. Good luck.

All, I am in a strange situation, where I received the Biometric appointment letter, but did not receive the receipt notices for I-485, I-765, I-131 yet! The checks are cashed, and I get to know the Receipt number from the Biometric appointment letter!

Lockbox received application 03/19/2019
Received Biometric appointment letter: 04/11/2019

Question to others:
1. Did you receive the NOA receipt from the lockbox or NBC?
2. For those whose petition is employment based, does the receipt notice show priority date from your I-140 petition or is it the date of I-485 receipt in lockbox?
3. How important is the receipt notice -- suppose if it is lost in mail, does it affect my overall case?

Thanks in advance.

Did you file a G-1145?Have you received any SMS/EMAIL notifications? If not, I would contact them and let them know.
