Thanks for the response.

 

Still no access code letter here, nor biometrics.

And still no response from first inquiry for access code.

When I tried to file another inquiry, it said to wait 30 days from last action, which was the Notice date.

 

One thing I did notice on the I-797C is that the Priority date box is blank. And the letter states, "If this notice contains a priority date, this priority does not reflect earlier retained priority date." So what does it mean if the Priority date box is empty?

 

The I-797C letter also states, "If we determine you must submit biometrics, we will mail you a biometrics appointment notice with the time and place of your appointment." Is it possible that if the foreign beneficiary had her fingerprints and pic taken at the consulate and at the Port-Of-Entry, then USCIS can use those as biometrics? And no need to do another biometrics?

 

The nearest field office here wait is like 500+ days. But since our receipt numbers started with IOE*, I'm assuming our case being handled electronically is different? And we never got the G-1145 notifications even though we got the I-797C in the mail?

I saw some posts where ppl said that they didn’t need to do biometrics since it was taken before in consulate. But honestly i don’t know if not having priority date on letter means anything.

Hi, everyone! I'm also a July filer and wanted to introduce myself and give a little background to my immigration situation.

 

I'm a 2020 K1 filer (applied in June), came to the US in April 2022, and filed for I-485, I-765, and I-131 on 27th July 2022. My receipt number also starts with IOE (but the address listed on the I-797C notices is in MO National Benefits Center), and the closest USCIS office to me is Omaha, NE.

 

Today (Aug 5th) I received 4 letters in the mail: an I-797C for each of the forms I sent, and an additional letter with my online access code. So, @EatBulaga, yes! K1-to-AOS filers should also be getting this code in letter form. Still no biometrics appointment, crossing my fingers it will come soon.

 

I think that's all I have so far! Good luck, everyone, and keep us posted on this journey 🙂

Rita

Evening folks, just a lil update. Check was cashed on 7/29, received paper notifications on 8/1, and access code arrived 8/4.

 

Just today, we went to SSA and was able to successfully apply for spouse's SSN without any issues. Documents we took were passport, recent I-94 printed from CBP website, birth certificate, and marriage certificate. The employee who helped us said the number should be generated within 2 days and card received in 2 weeks!

 

Still waiting on biometrics appointment.

On my spouse's I-797C for I-485, the Priority Date is blank as well, but when the access code arrived, it had one dated the same as the Received Date. I'm not sure why that is...

Mistakenly posted in the August AOS; received NOA July 18 for all three apps.
 

EAD Approved August 11. 27 days, does this mean work permit should be here soon? Finishing school in December with job placement, hoping the permit arrives in time for a smooth transition into employment.

What do you mean by "Early Walk-in Biometrics"? Were you given the option to do the biometrics sooner than originally scheduled for? How did you set that up? I live 4 hours away from the USCIS field office, the sooner I could go the better lol

I just tried my luck and walked into the USCIS field office before my appointment date. It was not busy and I was allowed in to get it done.

Ahhh, I see! Good for you! Has the status on your I-765 changed to approved? I've seen quite a few people have theirs given the green light right after biometrics were done.

U can just walk in and try your luck. But if I have to drive 4 hours to try that... I would preferably  wait for my actual date.
