Green Card notifications

[Caitlin Kennedy 63]

Hi all,

 

My husband and I are close to submitting the AOS package. NOA1 means that they "received it" right, nothing else? That is usually an email or text? Then is there an NOA2 again to let us know they approved to proceed to biometrics or how does that communication work for us to know "we are in the clear" to proceed to biometrics/interview? the timeline is a little different than the petition/etc. Let me know if the timeline I have below is correct.

 

11. Filing application For AOS Package / AOS Status
Sent AOS Application via post
NOA1 DATE (Received) - AOS I-485

Check out your timeline feature; it shows the steps. There is no NOA2.

what you posted is correct. As you can see no NOA2

We sent our application from USPS 5/23. We tracked it and they said it was delivered Sunday. To confirm, we get a text or email from the 1145 saying they got it in their hands, then a NO1 saying you can proceed or not proceed, then the biometrics appointment letter?

The NOA1 is just a receipt In the mail saying they received your I-485 application to adjust status.. That means somebody has opened the mail, (whereas your G-1145 is mostly just confirming delivery of the mail). The NOA1 will give you a receipt number. Later in the mail is a letter assigning a biometrics date, time, location.

A little better clarification...NOA1 means it has been accepted, check deposited, file started. It doesn’t mean it’s perfect and no RFE will come, but it means you’ve officially started.

Of course they opened the mail to see your  G-1145, but it’s more of a “yes the mail arrived“ than “woohoo your file has a case number and we accepted It to begin processing.”

That does help, thank you for the additional notes!
