How are you guys doing? How long is it taking to get the biometrics letter? 

This is my timeline so far:

 

1-10 sent package

1-13 package at Po box

1-18 texts/e-mails

1-22 check cashed

1-22 got NOA1  in the mail

I got my biometrics letter the next week after we got our NOA1 in the mail.

[pajobra 1,395]

Speaking of biometrics. My appointment was 2pm yesterday in Denver but because I was helping a friend in Denver out with some things I went for a walk in. So at 10:30am I walked in and there was maybe half a dozen people in the waiting area. The guard took my passport and appointment letter, had me fill out a form and then I gave it back to her. She gave me all of my stuff back and the form and a number. I went to sit down but before I could sit my number was called. lol I was in and out in 10 minutes.

Sorry to but in here, but, is this some kind of joke!? Haha. A translation from English to English 🙄. Wow. 

I got the apostile on my BC because I need it to enroll into military DEERS but that's still on a hand written British birth certificate. 

Out of curiosity, if you don't mind me asking, where did you get it translated and how much did it cost? 

Thanks 

I wish it were a joke, it was another unnecessary obstacle from USCIS. This thread I created explains it all, including the cost: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/653138-request-for-initial-evidence/?tab=comments#comment-8880805

Got NOA1s in the mail today, for all 3 of us. I'm so relieved that nothing was lost 

I think it's a matter of luck. Mine was received on the 11th but I didn't get any notifications till the 22nd.

Hi, ours was received January 10th.  When you mean notifications are you talking about email/text or NOA1 in mail?  And did you get 4 emails?  We received 3 emails/texts but no notice in mail yet and no biometrics letter.

Hellos filers,I see there are a lot of people in this thread who are filing for I-130 in here.   This thread is for those who are adjusting from K-1 visas.  The threads for the I-130 progress reports are found here: 

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports 

 

 Just so we don't confuse each other if you are a I-130 please head over there. Thanks!!

i didn't get any e-mails, I don't know why. I got 6 texts on the 22nd, for our 3 AOSs and 3 EADs. Then on the 25th I got 6 hard copies in the mail.

Good news!!

I received the biometrics letter. My appt is on 2-09. They sent me to Memphis, but I'm in Arkansas. I'll call the Arkansas USCIS and see if I can walk in.

Got my biometrics letter in the mail today! Appointment on 02/05.

When dare RFEs usually issued? Is it before the biometrics letter? Does this mean we dodged the RFE bullet? 

I just really need that EAD because I am dying of boredom at home. So many cuts on my hands from cooking, cleaning and doing the dishes!

I need a job ASAP!

How many people did you apply for? I got 6 because there are 3 of us applying for AOS and EAD. If you are the only applicant applying for AP as well (I just decided we don't need it), then 3 emails/texts are enough

[nanaaalex 49]

Sent out the AOS, AP and EAD today!

Good luck! Just saw your signature and I think you got the year wrong? It says 2017
