Elle29

I rang today and my received date is March 25. She said I’m still on the normal processing time and if I don’t hear anything in 3-4 weeks, I should give them a call! She tried to cheer me up by saying congratulations and best wishes on my marriage 🤣

I had submitted a case enquiry, but am now back within normal processing times. Goodness only knows what happens at USCIS, I’ll just continue my waiting game. 

We have the same timeline. I rang today and she told me my case will still be under the normal processing time till the 9th of September! Uscis has been tormenting me! 

I just talked to an agent and she said that current processing time is now 3.5 to 5.5 months!

Yeah I’ve seen you post that before but it felt better than doing nothing. My husband is refreshing every five minutes. He has a job offer and is ready to go!! They did say our case was assigned last week and that the agents try to stay within the time window, so I feel super positive it will come this week but let’s go!!

I just got ahold of a super nice agent and she said the exact the same thing. She said they’re trying to stay within the 2.5-5 months. Hopefully, we will hear some good news very soon coz seeing some applicants who filed later than me and got their EADs already makes me salty 😂 like why? 😂😂😂 my husband is very supportive tho. He constantly reminds me to chill coz i’ll be looking forward for days off once I start working😆

Hi everyone, We filed back in March and have received our NOAs for AOS/EAD/AP a few weeks after. When we check the status of our AOS it still says "Fingerprint Fee Was Received" Our timeline for EAD and AP changed from May/Jun to Sept/Oct. Anyone in the same boat as us? It feels like the finish line keeps moving further and further away. I doubt our AOS will be ready any time soon, the San Francisco office is completely backed up, current processing time is 490 days from Biometrics till decision.

We’ve been together on the same journey from our I-129f, interview, visa approval, and AOS filing 😁

So excited and happy instead of some they passed the interview and some are getting Ead and ap as so soon. I feel my office Seattle is so slow for my case, nothing new. By the way I still waiting for it ... 

You are not alone  I just want my ead and Seattle is my LFO, too

I know an NCLEX passer who came here on a K1 and still needed to wait for her EAD to be able to work. Take note, she was already a USRN when she came here So the answer is NO. There are also some states that require SSN and fingerprinting.

Our case was updated this midnight into “ready to be scheduled for an interview”.. I know it might take a while again but I’m still thankful that we didn’t get an rfe specially that I didn’t send any evidence other than me added on his health insurance and on his affidavit of support, I only included 4 of his recent paystubs and I’ve read that most applicants send 3 or 6 months.

Biometrics- April 19

Seattle Field Office

Thank God I don’t have that tampo anymore or my husband will enroll me to a drama school 😂  

kidding aside, OP, I do understand where your wife is coming from but coming from someone who came here on a K1 visa, if she’s really unhappy in here and refuse to make a life in here with you, you have to let go of her. Easier said than done, I know. On my first month in here, I refused to go out and mingle with our roommates or other people until 1 day, I just got bored and went out. I made my husband worried sick 😁 Now, I take the bus, went to apply for my ssn and state ID on my own without my husband taking me.

It’s not fair on your part to suffer like this. Clearly, you’re hurting and she’s obviously not trying to play her part on your marriage. Best wishes to you bro. Withdraw her AOs and let her go. 

My tracker just got updated to “fingerprint review completed”. Biometrics was done on the 19th of April. Looooonnnggg way to go 😁

Our status just updated to 'interview scheduled' which confirms that going in early for biometrics does in fact speed up the process (our biometrics date was scheduled for 4/26 and we were misinformed by the rep at the uscis office who said doing biometrics early wouldn't speed up the process).

That’s what I’ve been reading, too that doing biometrics earlier than scheduled doesn’t change anything. I’ll see how it goes for me since I did my biometrics last Friday (April 19) and my original schedule is today. I heard that Spokane is quick tho. 

I had my biometrics today. The staffs at Seattle field office are definitely very warm and accommodating. Now another waiting time begins 😊

They're super friendly. I had an appt in Houston, but am currently working in Seattle. They took my wife immediately, and they were very kind. "Come into the closest office if you're ever that far away from the appointment" is the exact quote they told her. I'm sure not all places are as friendly, but I can say Tukwila was more than welcoming.

That’s a relief.. thank you so much for sharing your experience😊

Your husband doesn’t need to attend just you 

Hey! Thanks. I’m just thinking that my husband can take me to tukwilla since I live almost an hour away from the place. We’ll try to get it done this Friday tho. Cheers!

It seems quite a few people tried and succeeded at doing walkins for Biometrics. General advice seem to be go after 2 pm in the afternoon. 

Thanks! I appreciate your response.. Will try to walk- in on Friday and give an update. Cheers guys! 

Hello guys! Hope you’re all having a wonderful day😊 I know this may be asked before by I couldn’t find a specific answer for Seattle field office. My biometrics is scheduled on the 22nd of April and my husband will be working on that day. His only availability is every Fridays. I’m just wondering if will they let me walk- in on Friday? This is for my I-485 and EAD.. thanks guys😊

NOA1- March 29 (Mail was received April 11)

biometrics schedule- April 22 (mail was received (April 13)

You mentioned American dream bro.. the CO have seen that you’ve attempted twice to go to the United States in 2018 and you reasoned out an exam in your 2 applications. You got engaged in 2017 then applied for k1 this year, right? I’m just reading your post bro. American dream should never be mentioned when you apply for the K1. That’s a wrong reason, IN MY OPINION😊

when I went to apply for my Washington State ID, the lady asked me if do I want to start using my married name but I insisted that I’ll stick with my maiden name for the meantime since I haven’t applied for my AOS during that time. Thank God we got a good advise from the guy working at Chase that if I want to start using my married name, I should do it first on any immigration documents that I will be filing. 

I had the same problem and I had to the CBP and they instructed me on what to do.
