No updates since July 2020, anyone hear anything back?

[kenm 10]

Hi - My wife and I are applying I-485, I-130, I-131, I-765 but we haven't heard any updates since July 27, 2020. We submitted the package sometime in May 2020.

 

July 27, 2020 - 

I-485 : Fingerprint fee was received

I-130 : Case was received

I-765 : Case was received

I-131: Case was received

 

I called twice every 3-4 months and they said there were no updates at all yet. I didn't get the appointment to get biometrics done.

 

Does anyone know how much longer we will have to wait? I'm hoping for at least an update. I wonder if they are also doing interviews or planning to pass the people that they do not really need to interview?

 

Thank you for your help.

We submitted back in May and have only just got the Biometrics notice. 

 

Remember, this is a long process - and Covid is only making it longer. 

 

Best advice I've seen is don't think about it, get busy and keep and eye on the reciept dates for case inquiry.

I-944 as well, forgot to include.

 

my concern with the waiting process is how long it’ll take. With covid .. my job isn’t guaranteed , I have a feeling I’ll be let go. In that case, how will it affect our application ? In lieu of income, can savings be used to prove financial support?

This year, EAD has been taking 7-9 months.  AOS has been 12-24 months.

so you filed 3 months ago and expect updates ? is that correct. Well here is the news for you. There are folks waiting from Dec 2019 who have no updates. So i would wait another 5-9 months before expecting any updates

Filed in May 2020 so around 7 months. I'll have to be patient!

NYC as well...

 

I see in the you updates, you sent a biometrics appointment letter? Can you explain more about that? 

 

I only see fingerprint fee was received but nothing about a biometrics appointment.

I didn't send it. I received the USCIS letter yesterday and it was dated Nov 21. So it took 7 days (Thurs being holiday) for me to receive it.

My ASC is in Brooklyn, though at 60th Street.

Upon closer review, looks like I sent the package out July 11 and it was received July 14. Fingerprint fee was received July 27, all others July 14 and that was my last update.

 

Did you submit more than just AOS? I'm curious how closely mine matches to yours. If it was received July 26 ,  it looks like my application is behind.

I have chatted via Emma live chat almost every week. On Oct 27th, I created a service request for my I-765 stating that I have not received my biometrics letter (this was advised by many). That service request is still unassigned till today. On Nov. 5, chatted with another agent and she created another service request for my I-485. That has not been assigned as well. I then called customer service 3x in different days and was very polite and nice (despite my frustrations LOL) but no changes as well. Last Wed, I chatted with another live agent and she created a new service request specifically for my I-765. I asked her if there is a way for me to expedite due to severe financial loss (no one anticipated Covid would stay in the US for this long) and she politely said she cannot expedite but she can have someone take a look at why there is a delay. On Sat morning, USPS Informed Delivery indicated I have a mail coming from USCIS. By some miracle, it was the biometrics appointment letter. 

I have no idea why the agent did not see that a letter has already been mailed to me. I didn't ask to be transferred to Tier 2 as well. Maybe you can try having an SR created. You can create one yourself but I suggest you have a rep do it instead. Either call or do live chat (as early as 8AM or you'll have quite a long wait time).

Thanks! I had no idea that I can submit a service request since everytime I call and speak to a rep, the person just tells me that it is still within the timeframe due to covid. As true as that is, It was frustrating that I couldn't get any more updates other than that.

 

How many times did you submit a service request for the I-485? I'm thinking of submitting a service request for just my I-485 for now as that is the most important one for us right now.

For the I-485, a rep created an SR last Nov 5 for me. It's still unassigned but they said waiting time is 30 days. 

I submitted one SR myself for I-765 on Oct 27. After 30 days, I chatted with a rep and told her my ticket was still unassigned so she proactively created a ticket for me.
