March 2020 AOS Filers

[emrie 10]

I'm guessing not a lot of us applied in March because of the recent-ness of the I-944. This thread seems a lot quieter than February or April!

 

For anyone tracking on a similar timeline, we got the letter yesterday for my husband's biometrics appointment in mid-August. First update since the NOA!

That's great! Mind sharing what state or ASC?

 

Thanks!!

Of course! Sorry - we're in the Boston area. The ASC is in Revere.

I’ve just received my biometrics appointment date for San Francisco, 08-14-2020! I applied in late March so it looks like things are coming back on track. Yay

Congrats! It's so nice to things are moving, even if it's slow.

We sent in the AOS packet (I130, I485, I765, I131) on 3/18 to the Chicago Lockbox, and I received my receipt notices shortly after (dated 3/24) from the NBC. Then a whole bunch of nothing until late July (a few days after the Chicago ASC re-opened), when I received my biometrics appointment for 8/7. The biometrics appointment occurred with many safety measures to ensure social distancing and protection from COVID-19, and went extremely smoothly. Yesterday my I485 status changed to "Case is Ready to Be Scheduled for An Interview", so things really seem to be moving again.

@AandS thats so exciting! My husband just did the biometrics yesterday (similar situation here in Boston - very safe, very well run, he said he wished he could have complimented someone on it) and so hopefully we'll get a similar status next week or so?

[emrie 10]

Sorry to double post, but we also got the "Case is Ready to be Scheduled for an Interview" update this evening! The processing times in Boston look like they range from 9 months (50% of cases are complete by that time) to 35 months (for 93% to be complete). I really hope it's more like the former than the latter.

 

Now, we wait.

Just got our interview request for end of Sept! Had biometrics done in mid Aug. Anyone else receive theirs?

Holy moly! That's incredible. We got notified about the EAD today, but no interview news yet. Where's your local office?

Us too! Fingers crossed we have a similar timeline...

 

Congrats! Can't wait to hear how the interview goes and what it's like in the office.

My EAD status also just changed to "Card is being produced", good way to start the holiday weekend.

Congrats!  Can you fill in your timeline please?  It helps the rest of us to know what visa you applied for and your dates

Today my I-765 was updated to “Your Card Is Being Produced.”!

 

Out of interest, my I-131 (AP) is still “Case Was Received”. Does this mean the card I’ll receive will or will not be a combo card?

Does anyone know?
