My I-485 is on Acceptance. The EAD and AP are on Initial Review. I'll let you guys know of any changes!

My visa is finally issued. Yeh!

I hope that the process moves faster as next year approaches. I have a brother and sister that is still waiting. They have July 2007 PDs I will be with you for a while.

Congrats!!!

I did a walk-in today at the Orlando office and it went great. I got there around 3pm and was out 20 minutes later. Everyone was very nice.

10am

Cool, thanks for the info!

Your process is definitely going faster than usual. I just read that your advanced parole was approved a few days ago.

Hi all!

I received my biometrics notice last Friday! Appointment is scheduled for October 22nd. I might try doing a walk-in.

And, the letter itself just came in my email. So, it's officially official. :-) Everybody else should be getting theirs now!

Pizza time!

Everybody!!! GOOD NEWS!!!

I just called NVC and they told me that they've scheduled my interview!!!! November 18, 7 AM! I'm shaking so much! This is so crazy exciting! They said it was made earlier this morning and I'll be getting the letter soon!! OMG!! PIZZA PARTY!!!!!!

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's a discussion on VisaJourney about the shutdown:

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/456004-how-would-a-government-shutdown-affect-immigration-cases/

Thanks, NevermindVz. I overslept this morning and I gotta say, I'm getting frustrated about the eerie absence of letters. Sad red confused face smiley here (which I don't know how I type!).

Is this the smiley you are looking for?

There may be a small possibility of delay in November 2013 Visa Bulletin (since it has to depend on many other agencies which may have reduced staffing).

Taken from http://blog.mygcvisa.com/2013/10/us-government-shutdown-and-how-it.html

Great post javisakid!

http://edition.cnn.com/interactive/2013/09/politics/government-shutdown-impact/index.html?iid=article_sidebar

Consular operations will continue if the government shuts down, which means that people would be able to get visas and passports. However, there is an exception is for passport offices that are located in buildings that are otherwise shutdown, so some people may see delays in their applications. Travel plans for State Department personnel will mostly be put on hold, as will all new employment offers. The State Department has not released exact numbers of furloughs, but in previous shutdowns, furloughs were felt more heavily at the department's headquarters in Washington than at posts overseas. The State Department contingency plan did not list the total or furloughed number of employees at the department.

From vn0207's CNN link we can see that everything will remain open except for some exceptions. The text above is next to this: "Open/Mostly open - Department of State". Also, I couldn't see any reference to USCIS or NVC in that CNN list.

Last year letters started going out October 2. Let's keep positive.

I got my NOAs today!!

They cashed my check!!!

What a relief, I've never been so happy to see my account reduced by $1000+ lol

Thanks, NMVZ! Looked back at last year's posts, and it appears that the first letters for November 2012 started going out around the 2nd of October. Here's hoping we might get something earlier.

Is everything in order with your AOS?

Meanwhile, what's up with everyone else? F1junkie, any news on your package?

Well, the tracking number says everything was re-delivered on the 19th, but I haven't heard anything else yet. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and trying not to panic yet lol. Thanks for asking javisakid!

Good luck this week guys!

How long on average does it take to get the email/text notifications from the G-1145?

I don't have an exact answer, but based on the other members here, I would say around 5-8 days. Good luck!

So many people filing in September!

I went today (Wednesday) at 3:00 pm and there were only 2 people in front of me in line. It was pretty empty.

Great! Thanks for sharing.

I completed my biometrics appointment today in Orlando (walk-in)

It was pretty empty and I was in and out in 30 minutes. I was asked why I didn't come on my scheduled appointment but I was not sent back home!

Now the real waiting game begins!!

That's great! What time did you get there?
