December 2020 I-485 filers may join

[CanChar]

Hi everyone, here's an update for my case. I'm adjusting my TN status to green card through marriage.

Timeline:
12/18/20: My package was received at Chicago lockbox
01/11/21: I received four NOA receipts in the mail (online case number indicates my fingerprint fee check was cashed on 12/29/20)
02/05/21: I received biometrics letter in the mail for my upcoming appointment, which is scheduled for the end of this month (letter came from the NBC)
02/18/21: Biometrics appointment (arrive 15 minutes before to line-up outside, there are about 10 appointments scheduled each hour, everyone lines up at same time for your appointment time slot and is allowed in 15 minutes prior to appointment time)
02/19/21: my I-485 and I-765 case statuses were updated online to "Case was updated to show fingerprints were taken"

I submitted change of address application (AR-11). Moving from Seattle to NJ.

The wait-time for family based I485 biometrics in Seattle is way too long.

Have you gotten any update on if they have received the change of address and if it has been updated?

For biometrics, would the case be updated to read biometrics appointment scheduled or you would only just receive the biometrics notice in the mail?

I'm glad to see that at least a couple of people have received their bios letters. I hope USCIS will speed up the process for the rest of us.

I have submitted a change of address yesterday for I485 and I765. I'll let you know what I will get returned. At this point, I wouldn't know what is normal :-).

You'll have to do them all seperately. I only had confirmation of the I765 and asked an agent if both of them were processed. They were not and then advised to do my I485 again.

hey guys been checking regularly, nothing online. Miraculously got a letter from USCIS in the mail which made me nervous. Luckily it was the biometrics. Scheduled in about 20 days. I am excited the process is moving along but as everyone feeling impatient. Been applying to jobs lately not really hearing back just gotta keep trying

Can you put down your timeline? It just got interesting now that you have your appointment!

Awesome! Congratulations!

Is your i485 employment based or family based?

Good! I don't think the status changes online when biometric is scheduled. You should see a change after the appointment. When did you send your AOS package? I'm curious to know about your timeline.

Congrats! Wonder if you a see biometrics update online as well since that will be less stressful. Also I asked my immigration lawyer they say biometrics doesn't have effects on how EAD card is processed in case anyone here is wondering about that as well.

Any updates from anyone? This wait is frustrating...

We got the receipt of the case back on 12/7/20
No Biometrics yet..... is this normal? Has any of the Dec. 2020 filers received the Biometrics yet ?

Same here. I even talked to a tier 2 USCIS agent and he told me that he can't schedule an appointment until a slot becomes available. We just have to wait. I know a couple of people who filed in December and got their biometrics appointment letter earlier this week.
