A little Back Ground. I overstayed my visitors visa for quite a few years (Came to USA 1998 and haven't left since). Met my wife in college and dated for 1 year, we were engaged for 10 more months and then got married October 6th! All in All the packet I sent in kicks butt! Affidavit letters of support from her parents that was notarized, letters from friends, tons of pictures professionally taken at our wedding (one including all 200+ guests that attended), bank accounts merged, her DL with new last name, lease, and to top it off, the engagement ring letter of appraisal (to toot my own horn, if they don't think my wedding is Bona Fide after that then WOW!)

I'm waiting on the Biometrics Letter to get here but its been 16 days now since USCIS received my package!! What do you think? Is this average? Also, USCIS hasn't uploaded my case to their online tracker!

11/29- Packet Sent

12/4- USCIS Receives Package

12/7- Checks Cashed

12/11- Received NOA i-130 i-485 i-785 (Priority Date December 4th

It seems that most people are not able to view their case status online till right before or right after their Biometrics appointment. I'm not exactly sure about the Biometrics appointment letter but it should probably be scheduled for the end of the month or the first week in January at the latest.

That's what I figured and I keep seeing the calendar tick the days closer to the new year and nothing! I'm almost tempted to call them and ask them when my appointment is with the excuse (which is a real fear) that I'm afraid I will miss it and cannot check online to see what's going on. Any experience on this?

I guess someone at USCIS saw my post, I can see it online now. I still have not received anything about Biometrics though. Online Case just says "Initial Review". And here I used to tell people I had a lot of patience....

I sent mine in about 3 weeks ago. So you will probably have to wait. First off you need your NOA with the receipt numbers for your applications. Then once you get them, you can go to www.uscis.gov and enter the receipt numbers on the left of the screen!

With a snowstorm in Chicago, I know that my AOS package that I sent yesterday will be delayed

I just checked my case status online using my receipt number and I'm pleasantly surprised to see that it has been entered into the system. I-485 is in acceptance stage and both I-130 and I-765 are at the initial review stage. Hoping to receive my biometrics appointment letter by Monday but I anticipate holiday-related delays.
