When did you file?

Hi everyone.
Yesterday my status case status changed to this:
As of December 16, 2016, we are ready to schedule your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status, Receipt Number MSCxxxxxxx for an interview. We will schedule your interview and send you a notice. Please follow any instructions in the notice. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.
Making progress

My request for initial evidence came today, I forgot to fill up one part of the I-865 (oops) I sent everything back again =S

enxhi get a transcript from IRS they are free.

I don't get why people want to walk in to do the bio sooner is there a reason case wont move faster or will it?

In my case I sent the expedite request so to be consistent I tired

Guys I have a question; if uscis deems necessary to ask for more evidence, would they send an RFE before or after they send the biometrics letter/appointment?

For me was after

Hello, I'm about to file for AOS and was wondering if you guys used a regular copy of the marriage certificate or if you had a certified one? Thank you

I sent the originals 2 of the certify copies

Am I understanding that some people have successfully walked in to the biometrics appointment unscheduled, or otherwise rescheduled it? We got our appointment for 12/21, and of course we will be out of town for the holidays then. There is a checkbox on the notice to reschedule and mail it back to them, but I don't particularly trust that such a request will be processed in time, and the notice says failure to appear will be considered abandonment.

According to the 800 number, the local USCIS doesn't allow walk-ins. Could I at least walk in and request a new appointment? Not sure if I should just change our travel plans, or attempt to get a new appointment. The tone-deafness of this process never ceases to amaze me.

I walked in without any problem 2 weeks early. When my dad had his appointment he wasn't in the city so he went without appointment to the closest uscis and they took him in as well.

I have a quick question =), someone knows what I can do if I want to change my name on the green card (if they approved of curse =/). I dont know if is better to change it before or after.

Thank you!

I belive we are all going through financial loss due to this step.

Now if something in the expedite criteria effected the USC then it becomes a USCIS concern.

LOL ?

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope everything gets better

Congratulations! Do you know how log it takes from "card is in process" to mailed?

Oh no! I'm sorry! If may ask, Under what criteria did you ask to expedite you case?

Got a letter in the mail today.

"Due to the high volume of expedites for this case type, we are strictly enforcing the criteria (..). While your situation appears serious, you have not provided evidence of an extreme emergent need. (...) burden is on applicant to demonstrade that his/her case meets one of the following expedite criteria:

[lists criteria from the website]

If you believe that your case meets one of these, please send your request with supporting documentation to the attention of:

[field office director's address]

(...) We apologize for the delay.

We hope this information if helpful to you."

So, denied. Bye, job. Should have gone with CR1, I'd never do K1 again.

Congratulations!
