    We filed on June 20th, USPS delivered on 22nd. On text receipt from USCIS we received last night says they got my packet on 24th. Check has been cashed this morning. I applied for SSN along with with forms. Am I gonna receive the SSC before AP/EAD or at the same time?

    That was very quick, congrats. SSN will come around the same time as EAD. On the USCIS website it says:

    "You should receive your SSN card no later than 7 business days after you receive your EAD from USCIS."

    I would like to know too. I havent gotten my NOA1 yet and I have my biometrics appointment on July 8th in Phoenix.

     

    I am also going to mine soon. I'm bringing my passport, NOA1s, biometrics letter and marriage certificate. I'm sure some of this isn't required but I'm bringing them anyway because what's the harm? Marriage certificate is because of my changed last name which doesn't match my passport.

    After 20 days i finnaly received my case number, did u all get the same as me? Is it weird to get the receipt number even though the check hasnt been cashed yet

    It's a little different (I think) that the check hasn't been cashed yet and you have a case number already, but don't stress, that's great that you have a case number. Just keep an eye on that check money, it should process soon.

    Still havent received her ssn yet. we applied back on the 13th of June. when we applied, my wife's arrival was not "uploaded" in SAVE.  we were told that the ss worker would keep track of when my wife's arrival was available in SAVE, then submit the application. We were handed a signed document stating the acknowledgement that  she applied for an ssn. this document included a reference #.

     my wife called the ss office today, and they said the paperwork/application was submitted but is still pending and we will have to wait 3-6 more weeks to get the ss card

     the downside. when i talked to HR today, they stated we have 30 days for the date we were married to add her to my insurance. but if we do not get her ssn by July 9th, she can not be added until Jan 2020. 

    any suggestions, comments, well wishes or hugs???

     

    Unfortunately the SSN can take up to 4 weeks or more. However, don't lose hope because mine did take less than 3 weeks, it's possible. Is there anything you can do to fight to get her onto the insurance without a SSN? Give them a call and really push it. I know some people have found success in doing this. I have my fingers crossed for you.

     

    Some plans have a placeholder number you can put in and then they allow you to put the real one in when they get a ssn. Have you researched your insurance company on the SSN matter a lot? I hope there's some kind of loop hole for her.

     

    Also, can you try going into the insurance office with all of the documents to prove her lawful presence?

    Does it take into account the beneficiaries country? Because I see a few on here who got their NOA1 after others but their estimate for NOA2 is a week or 2 sooner 🧐

    I'm not too sure but I believe it doesn't. The estimation consistently changes with the new data people provide to VJ. Did the other people check their estimation at different times to you? Mine changed by an entire month during my K1 wait. Many people get RFEs and some people go into extended periods of AP (we see this at times) which VJ cannot predict. I believe it does as much as it can on a quantitative data level as an estimation for everyone regardless of country. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

     

    But remember, it is just an estimation so you shouldn't put all of your eggs into that basket.

    Question ~ on his biometric appointment, it only shows for his 485 and 765 but we filed AP as well. Has this happened to anyone else? Will we end up getting another biometric appointment for the AP?

    I am unsure but if I were in that situation I would show up to the appointment with all of the NOA1s and raise it with them. Hopefully someone with experience can chime in.

     

    Edit: I just noticed this was answered and is normal.

    This is why I questioned the context of it, I know what adjudicate means. But how is that tool estimating that timeframe. Is it based on when people enter the NOA1 form then come back when they receive their NOA2? After they receive a RFE? From what I understand there's no way of telling when the government judges the I-129 until you either receive an NOA2 or RFE correct?

    The VJ estimator tool? It's a statistical estimation based off of everyone's inputs into VJ, hence it's important for everyone to input their timelines. It's not always accurate but it is close enough for the vast majority. For instance, mine estimated a January approval and I got mine in late December (a couple weeks earlier than it had estimated). 

     

    No one can accurately estimate an approval, but the estimator vaguely sets some form of guideline.

    How long do you think the RFE for new passport picture of petitioner would add to the process? The RFE master list doesn't have entries newer than 2016, but seems most times they send passport pictures it took about 10 days from the RFE to approval date.

    There is no given time frame for a RFE. Most people are lucky and it takes less than a month total, while for others it can take longer. Try not to stress about it, it'll more likely not take too long.

    :)How do I do that? should I just walk in USCIS office and ask for bio-metrics? would it be okay with only the receipt# and my ID?

    You need your AOS NOA1, your biometrics notice and photo ID (passport). Attend a USCIS Application Support Center. Not all of them take walk-ins apparently, but it's worth going and asking if you can have your biometrics completed.

    hi everyone,

     

    we finally received our noa1 in the mail. we have a question about the biometric; are we able to reschedule that incase we are out of town?

     

    thanks!

    Congratulations.

     

    Depending on the center where your biometrics appointment is, you can do a walk-in earlier (this is preferred to rescheduling).

     

    The notice itself has instructions on how to reschedule, so yes, you can reschedule. BUT you're better off going to an earlier walk-in because I read that if you leave biometrics too long the application can be denied because biometrics needs to be satisfied within a certain time frame of submitting the application. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
