Where do you track the case numbers?

I use a few different places to track mine, but if you want to track case numbers close to yours, use the case tracker app. Go to search at the bottoms, and type in a case number that’s like 20 below your number, and search however many you want (I search 50) and you can see what their status is too.

Mine changed yesterday to ready for interview does that mean we go for interview first then get the combo ??

No. EAD and AOS are separate. Some people get their green card first, and don't even get EAD because you don't need it once you have a green card, but it can sit at that status for months.

So if my received date is 19th October but my notice date is 29th October? I go by the 29th? 

I'm in Maryland too, and my received date is Oct 19 as well!

Lol me neither. I just checked. A case two numbers below mine just updated to "card was mailed". It was "case received" earlier this evening and went straight to "card was mailed".

I'm sleeping with the notifications ringer on tonight.

A case number one below mine changed to "New Card Is Being Produced" yesterday. I hope it means something!!! 🤞

The didn't confirm ours. Good for you.

 

On a side note, they denied ours due to the "no-receipt" of rfe even their level 2 USCIS customer service confirmed that they have it. So good for those who gets a good service and correct information.

I'm not looking for a compliment, or trying to prove you wrong. I'm just stating the facts to help people. People rely on the information we post here. It's important to be accurate. 

On 12/4/2018 at 8:03 PM, POA said:

They do not confirm the receipt of the RFE but they will send you a mail that they are denying your petition if they did not receive any or they will ask for another rfe to fulfill what they need.

That's not true. They do confirm they received your response to the RFE. You should be sure of your information before you post it.

We are very close. I am in VA now.

Ohh awesome! We're looking to buy a house in Stafford County in the next 6 months! Virginia is great!!

From my understanding, if you select yes, then you will have to wait a Long time before you get your ssn.

And if you want to use your ssn to apply for drivier license or renew it, or in other circumstances to use your physical ssn card, you will have trouble.

just spend sometime at SSA to get your SSN replaced. You will find it more convenient.

 

We have very similar timelines, and I'm in Maryland. 🙋‍♀️

Try this site scroll down and create an account. 🤗

That’s the one I used at first, and it didn’t work. I created an account, but didn’t see where I could turn on notifications. When I used the link I posted, no problems.

Ohh that sucks but it is not really any more useful than the case tracker app.

Someone told me their status was updated quicker with the account, then it was with just the tracker. Like a week sooner.

True. I've never been able to sign up though. Tried a million times.

Did you use this link to sign up? I had signed up before, but it was for a different type of account with USCIS. Someone gave me this link, and it worked. I added my 3 case numbers, and signed up for email/text notifications.

You will get one or both at an update if you are signed up for it on USCIS's website. I received both this morning.

I just signed up for it on USCIS website, too!

So we all should’ve moved to Florida and then applied? 😂 I much prefer this waiting game over the k1 since my husband is in the same country! What state are you in?

Haha right. Yes, this waiting is MUCH easier than waiting for the Visa for sure. I'm in Maryland! 

18 minutes ago, Katelyngene said:

So frustrating that every office can differ so much!

I know right! And every time I see someone in the group getting their green card super fast, it's always Florida!!

AOS, I-131 and I-765: filed October 22nd

NOA1: November 14th

Biometrics appt: December 6th

 

Good luck to everyone! Hoping we all receive the EAD and travel visas sooner rather than later! I’ve heard the AOS for the green card is currently taking a minimum of 12 months 😣

It depends on the field office. I'm in a AOS group on Facebook, and some people get their green card within 6 months, while others wait more than a year. Florida seems to be the fastest.

Hello everyone, my case status changed today"Ready to be scheduled for an interview " 😊

Yayy!! Great news! 

I got an RFE already for my AOS. I don’t know yet what it’s for, but that was quick. It hasn’t even been a month since I applied. Can’t think of what could be missing.

Hi guys update got app for biog for Nov 19 hopefully process move fast 

I'm in Maryland too! 🙋‍♀️My biometrics appt is Nov 13 in Baltimore!

Hi all, as it relates to copies of certificates, I’m always tempted to send the original in order to not have the risk of RFE, has everyone been okay with just copies of marriage and birth certificates? Even if it had the void watermark when you copy it?

I’ve sent copies of everything from the beginning.

Got the I-131 letter today!

Interesting. Quite possibly she has a military spouse and is under expedition and they use priority dates in their expedition situations.

Or somebody either who is a perfectionist or incompetent is working on her case.

She did end up having a military spouse and she expedited!

I found the FB post you were talking about. She is definitely a military expedite and didn't mention that hence the PD. 

Irrelevant to our K1 situation.

LOL right.

Ok. Now that I know it's not the norm for K-1, I won't worry. 

19 minutes ago, K1visaHopeful said:

Nope.

K1s and CR1s dont get a priority date.

A priority date is for those applicants of family based visas who have to wait in line until a Visa is available for them. There are only so many available visas per year so they are given a priority date in the line so to speak. Priority dates are given to family based visas but marriage based ones are excluded because there is always a Visa available for us. 

Ok. There's a girl in the AOS Facebook group I'm in adjusting her status from a K1 Visa, and she has a priority date on her I-485 letter. She posted a pic of the letter, asking what a priority date was and someone asked her what she was adjusting from and she said K1 and that the date is her NOA2 date from her i129F.
