I didn't know if you file the three forms combine, you'll only have to pay for 1-485. Thanks and good luck.

Yeah! That's the whole point of filing them together cuz you don't have to pay any additional fee. Thank you and good luck to you too : )

Yep
Reminds me of the good ol' days of getting an RFE for something already submitted.

It's part of the process. And it sucks

Really sorry it happened to you!

But good news is that the GC trumps AP so since that's being processed accordingly, everything else shall fall into place.
Good luck!

Yep! I know what you mean cuz generally I was waiting for my NOA2 for k1 visa for a year and a half. So they can't scare me anymore 🤣🤣 Thank you!

Total fees has nothing to do with it I assume since the I-765 was accepted- It's the same fee $1225 with I-765 and/or I-131.

 

This unfortunately seems to be happening quite a bit lately.
Since you now have NOA1 with I-485, you're just gonna have to submit it again with that I-485 and the fee will be waived. Unfortunately, you lost your queue in line for the AP since your NOA date will be from the recent filling.
So if travelling soon is important to you, I suggest you send that packet to them ASAP so you don't lose more time.

 

 

You are right! I paid the whole amount of fee 1225$. I've heard that this can happen sometimes, but it is really frustrating that I need to waste my time because of their mistake. I'm going to submit again tomorrow. But I guess I won't get the combo card for both EAD and AP. That's unfortunate. I am trying to be optimistic cuz at least I have my I-485 and I-765 processed.  Wish you all good luck guys. Thanks for the reply.

I'm sorry this happened. 

Thank you! I'm just happy that I have at least some movement in my case. Got my biometrics appointment letter. So fingers crossed! Thanks again for the reply.

Hello everyone.

Package sent July 12

Received July 16

NOA for 2 of them ( I-485 and I-765 accepted, I-139 rejected with no reason) August 1st

Biometrics appointment  - August 20

So I was rejected for Advance Parole with no reason. I got a rejection notice saying that the payment was incomplete or has not been provided. Funny, cuz we all know that for EAD an AP we need no additional payment if we submit the applications with I-485. I called and they said there must have been a mistake and I need to resubmit the application with the copy of  I-485 notice of action.

Anyway, I am happy that I have at lease some movement in my case. Wish you all good luck.

Well it's Friday. Did they call you back? 

They didn't call me back. I called again and they told me there must have been a mistake and I need to resubmit the application again along with the copy of I-485 notice of action. So just a waste of time for me.

@Anita27 Hi, what did they say? 

Hello..So I called and after waiting forever I was able to speak to someone. They told me that they will put an inquiry and will let me know this week.

3 minutes ago, little immigrant said:

Yes and it's possible that you won't get the combo card. But at least they already started working on your AOS and EAD so that's definitely good. Good luck and keep us updated about what they tell you tomorrow. I'm curious. 

That's what I was think about too. Thank you. I appreciate that. Will update tomorrow for sure! Have a good night.

I have. Many times. You're not the only one.

 

Maybe even send a copy of their instructions highlighting the paragraph which mentions the fee is waived. Just to annoy them. 😁

Haha! Will definitely do 🤣 Thanks again. It just means more waiting

1 minute ago, little immigrant said:

I would send it again with the I-485 NOA and an explanation letter that the fee is waived. 

Thank you so much for the reply! I will call them tomorrow and see what they say. If nothing happens, will send a letter for sure. This is really frustrating. I mean I haven't seen anyone here having the same issue.

Hello VJ family. So I got my NOA for AOS ( together with EAD and AP) and to my surprise I got a rejection notice for my travel document  (I-131) saying that the payment amount is incorrect or has not been provided. Other forms ( AOS and EAD) have been accepted . I was sure that the only payment I should have made was 1225$ for all the documents. EAD and AP were supposed to be free if I was applying together with AOS. Has anyone had the same issue?  I'm going to call USCIS tomorrow to see what's going on. I just came home late and didn't manage to call today. 

Thank you!

Hey guys. Hope you are all doing fine. I sent my AOS in 12 of July and it was received in 16th. So far no e-mail or sms or  NOA but I just checked and the money (1225$) was transferred form my bank account from USCIS. Has anyone got the same case? I mean as far as I know they should send the e-notification that they got my case and then only transfer the money.

Thank you

Thanks for the rude reply!

Hey Guys

This is a topic for discussion for AOS July fillers. Please, share your experience and questions, if you have any.

Hello Anita 

 

could you schedule your appointment for the interview??

Sorry for the late reply! Yes, I was able to schedule my interview in a week or so, after filling DC-160 and paying the fee.

Hi there

 

i have the same issue with the scheduling appointment, I’ve sent them an email but it seems they answer in 3 business days.

 

 

Ya..It was the same with me. I got an email from then when I had already scheduled my interview appointment. Just check all the time until you get an available date. It will come soon.

Thanks a lot @Anita27 I will call them tomorrow and ask them, I will let you know the update!!

🙏🙏

Ya!...good luck! keep us posted! 

They don't send you the interview date, your need to schedule it online. Call the embassy and ask them when you'll get your invitation for the interview.

But how long did it take for you to receive the invitation letter?

I got the call from the embassy the same they received my case. And after a couple of hours I got the email with the invitation letter. But I have a friend that got the letter in a week or so after the case reached the embassy.  Anyway it won't take long. Your are almost there!

The consulate receive the case today finally, but i'm a bit confused as I see on some timelines packet 3 and packet 4. What are those exactly? and will my fiancé receive them? If yes how long it takes for the consulates to send them?

I also have no idea what it means..after the embassy got my case, I received an invitation letter (packet 3 I guess) Then after medical and interview I got another packet (packet 4 I guess) with a sealed envelope I need to bring to POE and my passport with visa. I guess that's it. And the whole process after embassy got my case took about a month. Embassy received my case January 19 and my interview was at February 22

Wow do you know what caused them to wait that long for the rfe??

We made several inquiries and the answer was the security check! But I have no idea why they needed a year and a half for the security check to be cleared

Thanks for the answer. 

That's not too long actually. 

It shouldn't take longer..actually for me (when my whole process took more than 600 days) after NOA2, the rest of the process went smooth and fast. Good luck! 

Just now, Kriskay said:

Hi Anita,

 

Congrats!! 

Do you remember how long it took the NVC to send your case to your hometown after receiving it. 

Hello It took about 3 week for the embassy to receive  my case.

Visa in hand. Yay!!!
