They just updated my case Status that I got approved and my combo card will be shipped -..... 2,5 weeks after I already received the Combo Card hahaha. 

Dear lord.  You'd think the filing fee would assure a baseline level of competency.  Is it that hard to click a button?  Here's to hoping they let us know when our interview dates are. 

I received my combo card in the mail today.  USCIS didn't update my case file online at all and I had no idea that I was approved on the 20th, same as them receiving my file in the first place -- they never sent a letter letting me know they got my info.  My priority date was November 30th.   Definitely feeling relieved.  Excited to work and live with ease! 

My husband and I filed at the end of November and we are still waiting as well.  In January I received an RFE for my birth certificate because they said it didn't meet their requirements which were either one of: 1) a photocopy of the proper seal or 2) the signature of the registrar.  Well, I know for certain the copy I sent in had both, though the seal was faint so I sent in a color photocopy with the contrast turned up and that seemed to do the trick.  Thing is, now my priority date has been reset.  So my priority date went from November 27th to January 18th for absolutely no reason.   Pickiness?  Personal whim?  

I would be able to put in a service request for the EAD and AP so that I could at least go to my husband's cousin's funeral out of the country and be supportive to him and the family, but instead I'm stuck.  Feeling really unimpressed at the moment.  

They also never sent us the initial letters giving us our case numbers and confirmation they received our petition, then updated our file that we may be missing important documents, which we did due diligence on and request, and received some other bogus piece of paper still missing those numbers instead.  Thankfully we signed up to be texted and e-mailed our case numbers or everything would be a lot worse.

Hi there. This sub-forum is for CR-1/IR-1 visas which means people here only go through the I-130 process only followed by consular processing. If you want to see timelines that are more relevant to your situation, head over to http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/130-adjustment-of-status-from-work-student-amp-tourist-visas/ - this is the Adjustment of Status sub-forum. 

 

Good luck on your journey!

I thought they were the same thing! My apologies I'm in the wrong forum. 

My husband and I filed our I-130 concurrent with I-485 on November 27th.  We haven't received our NOA1 yet, but we're looking forward to it..

Please feel free to add yourself here and we can all update each other on our processes.
