January 2018 AOS Filers

[helnazedain 68]

Today is a good day! Got a decent second hand car for a good price and received my NOA1 hard copies in the mail. Husband's gonna start teaching me how to drive so I can get a license ASAP. Hopefully the biometrics schedule comes soon. Good luck to us all!

Sent our package last Thurs 1/18 thru FedEx and scheduled to be delivered by Monday 1/22.

So nice to see friends from March 2017 K-1 filers here. Again, we're all in this together!

Sent package on 01/17 by usps. Check status not arrived yet but hopefully soon. Very excited to know you guys

There's a US DHS notice in today's informed delivery -- almost certainly the biometrics appointment letter.

 

That's a tiny bit later than expected (NOA 1 was 1/3, so about two weeks instead of one.)

Wow yeah that is a bit later cause I got my biometrics letter last week and I was 1/2 for NOA1. We are right beside each other again Twos!

I've looked and it appears Phoenix takes quite a bit longer than Denver as far as overall processing goes, so it's probably related to that.

 

VJ's schedule seems to use older data, when I use recent data it's taking a lot longer, though there's only 2 reports in the past few months.

lol Denver is apparently working on Dec 2016 right now. I am prepared for a huge wait lol

Hello January filers!

 

I got on the mail today my whole package back and I hope you guys can help me figure something out. They stated that they rejected my i-485 (plus i-131, i-765) because of the incorrect amount.

But, as far as I know, we had to pay 1,225$ (1,140+85 for biometrics), right? Maybe they rejected because when I went to Walmart to get the money order, they couldn't do one for 1,225 so they did 2 orders (725+500).

That's the only explanation I could find. Can anyone help me?

 

Thanks!

That is surprising, I will suggest you buy your money order from USPS. I bought mine there and they usually split it into a 1000 dollars and then the balance, if what you are paying for is more than a thousand. I filed application form I-130, I-485, I-131, I-765. Everything came to 1,760 i.e: $535, $1,140 and $85. Since you are just filing I-485, EAD and AP, you are correct.. the total fees is 1225. Maybe you should call them directly or just cancel the money order from Walmart and purchase it from USPS or better still issue a check.

If you are inside the United States, you may pay filing, biometrics, or other fees to USCIS using a check or money order drawn from a U.S. financial institution and payable in U.S. funds. -> https://www.uscis.gov/forms/paying-uscis-fees

As I suppose Walmart is not a US financial institution...

Try with USPS
