Hello All,

I just got a notification today that my 'CASE IS READY TO BE SCHEDULED FOR AN INTERVIEW'.

My PD is June-2017 and I had filed my AOS on 20th Feb 2018.

I received my EAD/AP combo card on June 1 2018 and my case is with the local field office in Los Angeles, CA.

I am filed under EB1C (International Managerial) category and my country of Chargeability is India.

How long can it take before the interview is scheduled?

I would really appreciate if anybody on this forum with a similar timeline and category has any information.

Thank you!

Hello Everyone!

As I still await for my interview I wanted to get an opinion/recommendation on EAD renewal. My EAD is valid till 19th June 2019. How soon can I apply for EAD renewal on a pending I-485? 

Any help/guidance on this will be greatly appreciated!

Folks,

 

Had my interview on August 2.  We had a really nice lady who made the process lovely.  First, we swore in, then she went file-by-file and verified our names, birth date and address, plus collected our medicals  Then, she proceeded to ask questions that were on the I-485, she asked about 10 of them.  After that she informed us that the EB1 green card quota was used up for the fiscal year and we'd have to wait till October (USCIS new fiscal year) to gain our green cards.  So, let the wait continue.  The whole interview, which started on time, was about 25 minutes.

 

Hope this helps!

Wow. That's awesome. Its just wait for the Green card. Can you please confirm your EB1 category? Is it Managerial? Also what is your nationality if I may ask?. I filed mine on Feb 20th under EB1 Managerial and I got my EAD/AP combo card on June 3rd. I am from India and I have not heard back anything since then. My local office is Los Angeles County. Just curious

Congratulations!! What is your timeline and what category have you filed in?

Hi All,

What does this mean for my case? Is this good or bad? Has anyone else experienced this?

This is my current timeline

Thanks for clarifying @harhad. I called NSCS and I have been told that it can take anywhere from 30-45 for the case to show up on the USCIS case status website.  On a different note,  I am still waiting for my Biometrics notice. Its been more than a week since I got the hard copy of NOA.  Is there an average time to get the biometrics notice? Does anyone know about it based on experience?

Waiting for Biometrics notice

 

Another clarification that I am trying to seek is the confusion on the 'Processing Cases as of Date' field on the USCIS processing time for different service centers. Is this the date the case was received by USCIS or are the cases that have a priority date on or before the date listed. I have a I-485, I-131 and I-765.

Nebraska service center is processing I-485 Employment-based adjustment applications as of May 2,2017. This update is as of Jan 31,2018.  So what does this date mean? Is it PD date or case received date.

Also since I filed my I-131 and I-765 with AOS will it be associated with my pending I-485 or processed separately based on the current processing date ( I-131 is Oct 16,2017 and I-765 is Nov 1, 2017).  Do I-131 and I-765 have any priority dates associated with it?

 

I know there are lot of questions but I would really appreciate if someone can provide clarification on my queries.

Anyone had to wait longer than 2 weeks to get their Biometrics notice? Its been more than 12 days I received my NOA hard copy but nothing on the biometrics yet. Should I get anxious?

Call the NSCS.

 

They will help you out or at least tell you than what most of us can here as this seems to be a rare situation

Hey everyone! I just got the hard copy of NOA today. Couple of questions

1. I am still unable to view my status online.  I keep getting this error for all 6 of my receipt Numbers.

 

Validation Error(s)
You must correct the following error(s) before proceeding:

• My Case Status does not recognize the receipt number entered. Please check your receipt number and try again. If you need further assistance, please call the National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283.

Is this normal? 

 

2. I have a priority date listed on my I-485 NOA but there is not priority date listed on my spouse's I-485 NOA. Is that how it is supposed to be since my spouse is a derivative applicant?

 

If anyone has any information on the above 2 queries, please let me know

Did anyone experience this issue? I am still unable to view my case online. Should I call up the customer service to check with them or wait for a few more days?

Did you send two I485??? You need only one for the applicant. Are both of you and your wife applying for Adjustment of status ? Both of you dont have green cards?

That is correct. I sent two I485. We both are filing for AOS as neither of us have a GC. I am filing under the EB1 category. I am assuming both should have a priority date on it? I am the primary and she is a derivative applicant

Hello everyone. Just got the NOA via text and email..Yay!! The only thing that was odd was I had submitted the G1145 separately for my wife with a different email and number. But I still ended up getting all notifications to my number and email. Is it because I am the primary and she is a derivative applicant?

Hi everyone. Does anyone know what is the average time to get the NOA via text/email. My packet was delivered to USCIS Phoenix Lockbox on 20th Feb. Its been a week and I have not received any updates yet? Just curious...

You are suppose to file the whole application at a single location, and the location IS NOT ours to choose from. The category of the application determines that !

Completely agree with you harhad!
