F2A NBC 2016 Filers

[Tongua 3]

hi guys,

 

 

I am asking this question on behalf of my wife. Her PD is March 2016 and just became current. We filled the AOS on Oct-2017. She had her Biometrics on 11/20/2017 and received 3 MSC receipts. However, all of them says:

 

On October 30, 2017, we received your Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization , Receipt Number MSCXXXXXXXX, and sent you the receipt notice that describes how we will process your case. Please follow the instructions in the notice. If you do not receive your receipt notice by November 29, 2017, please call Customer Service at 1-800-375-5283.

 

I am wondering if you guys have the same message.

Thank you in advance./

Yes, that just basically means wait until the decision is made. You can also check your status online- https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/landing.do. Just put in the MSC number.

Hi Tongua!

 

Do all of your receipts say they are for Form I-765?

 

You should also have receipts for Form I-485 and I-131, assuming you filed them all.

 

Also, the one you copied are the e-notification. It is very important for you to have the physical ones, as the i-485 receipt serves for your wife as proof of legal presence in the US, if needed.

Yes. All of them are different but pretty much say the same thing. Are yours the same? Shouldn't they say "we reviewed your biometrics" or something like that?

No, your biometrics are captured, and the stamp on the biometrics notice is evidence you went to the appointment. Right now, your case is on queue, keep an eye on the other users with similar dates and checking online your status.

Called USCIS for the pending I-485 to get an update.

they told me to "WAIT" as Jacksonville is processing April 2017 cases now.

 

Can someone explain the USCIS processing charts

"Processing cases as of November 30 2017"

So does this mean no movement since Nov 30 2017?

The Charts are the official dates that are being processed. However, I have been observing them since last year, and they are not very truthful. The "As of November 30, 2017" means that at that time, they were processing cases from the date they say there. 

 

However, I think it is just a shield and filter USCIS uses to stop people from submitting inquiries when they are overloaded and processing at this very slow rate such as now.

Any idea when they will update the processing times charts again?

Lets not get Carried away ! USCIS is even worse than DMV. Atleast at DMV we don't go with high expectations. From now on, I don't have any expectations. there are plenty of better opportunities out there, but without an EAD card its all futile.

I guess, I will have to wait it out.
