    May 2020 AOS Filers

    in Adjustment of Status Case Filing and Progress Reports

    Consensus appears to be that Code 3 is a requirement of AOS as they need to run a background check on all ten of your fingerprints with the FBI. Code 2 seems to be a verification of "this person is who they say they are" but might not be enough to run the background check.

     

    I'm hoping that best case scenario I don't need the background check because I've done ~5 other US visas before and have also gone through background checks for Global Entry/TSA Pre. Worst case scenario nothing with any of my cases will progress until someone at USCIS realises I haven't done Code 3 biometrics and sends another biometrics letter...

    Thanks for the brief explanation, this really helped to understand the difference.

    I am assuming since my AOS application is through fiance visa, i have gone through detailed verification check in the recent past so may be another one is not required.

    Followed up and called today after not seeing any updates on my cases - Tier 1 agent was able to confirm my biometrics were "received" from the ASC. I was kind of concerned in case they had messed up given that one of my biometrics notices (I weirdly received 2) had code 2 and the other had code 3. So hopefully everything is moving along and all I have to do is wait...

    I am little confused between code 2 code 3. The one I have received is code 2 which includes both 485 and 765.

    ASC Appointment Date:  8/28

    ASC Appointment Location: Cleveland, OH

    ASC appointment for : I 485 & I 765

     

    I sent my AOS documents on June 15th and received my biometrics appointment letter in the mail yesterday. The case status still shows "Case was received" on the USCIS website.

     

    Do you know anyone who did an early walk-in and successfully had their biometrics done? I know that it was possible pre-COVID, but now I am afraid they will want to limit the number of people at the ASC.

    To my understanding they are not allowing early walk-in. The same has been mentioned in their appointment letter also

    Very quick appointment today - more time was spent on waiting than the actual appointment. Weirdly they only took one fingerprint (index), my photo, and signature. There were quite a few other people at the ASC (around 13-14(, mainly families with lots of kids.

     

    We'll see how fast things move from here...

    All the best... I am still awaiting for biometric TBS ...

    As I had hoped I got a biometrics appointment letter today - notice date was July 18, and my appointment is August 5 (for Alexandria, VA ASC). To be very clear - I did not have an appointment pre-COVID, this is my first appointment.

     

    Weirdly they sent me two notices - one has only a barcode for I-485, the second has a barcode for both I-485 and 

    Great news...

    Hi all,

     

    Figured I'd start this for any other May 2020 filers. As most have reported I'm still in Case Received for I-485 and I-130, and Fingerprint Fee Received for I-765. Very much hoping to see "Fingerprints were taken" from old biometrics but not sure that seems very likely. Beginning to get moderately nervous with the slowdowns/ASC closures/potential furlough as my visa runs out end of January 2021.

     

    Anyone from this timeframe seen any updates 

     It has been 45 days already since I received  my NOA1, no further update so far...

    Congratulations.

     

    Embassies will tell you this either on their web page instructions or in the P3.

     

    "Visa issuance is not guaranteed. Therefore, we recommend that you do NOT make any travel plans, quit your job, or sell your properties, purchase airline tickets that are non-refundable or place deposits for wedding venue's until a consular officer has approved your visa and it has been issued."

     

    Do nothing till you receive your visa and have been able to review it for mistakes. Do not buy airline tickets that are not changeable. I have seen too many situations that the visa was delayed for a number of reasons and the couple had to incur additional costs such as wedding deposits and airline fares. Just something to consider.

    Thank you Greenbaum for all your suggestion and support during these 9 months of my journey here 

     

    I had my interview on 29 nov and have received my Visa 😊

     

     

    Indian Citizen DCF through CHINA

    in India

    Hello,

     

    My wife and I have been living and working in China for the past few years now. We did DCF through China and we are ready to schedule the interview here. I had a few queries concerning my Indian documents. They are as follows:-

     

    1. Do I need to apostille  the original birth certificate? It doesnt mention anywhere that Us consulates require an Apostille. Well I wouldnt be able to do it anyway since my Original birth certificate is laminated to avoid further damage but if anyone is aware of apostilles please do shed some light on it. 

     

    2. I visited India in July 2019 and got my police clearance certificate from Mumbai passport office. Does anyone know how long is it valid for? The IV instructions checklist says "A police certificate issued within the last 12 months (with a certified English translation) from your country/territory of nationality" so I assume it will be valid for 1 year. Kindly confirm if my assumption is correct?

     

    3. The language of the PCC from India can be confusing but I believe it is just the way they use the language "no adverse information against---------------------which would render him or her ineligible for Immigration". Could someone please confirm that the above is ok.

     

    Thank you for all advise and suggestions for this site.

     

     

    Hope help helps

     

    1.birth certificate should be in English language and it doesn’t not require any appostille

     

    2. PCC is valid for 12 months from the day of its issuance 

     

    3. That’s how the format is of PCC so this should be fine .

    Hi Friends,

    For police verification in our country , sponsorship letter / declaration from sponsor is required?

    Are you referring towards attaining PCC else any other document. 

     

    In either of the cases - please visit PSK site they will guide you through the mandatory documents to carry

    To best of my understanding no such declaration is required from the sponsor.

    Hi All,

    Noa2 got approved on August 15 we called NVC last week and they didn't have a case number yet to give us. Today we received an email from "AskNVC"as a "reply"to the original request to update email address , saying that our case was currently undergoing necessary administrative processing.... 

    this sounds bad from all the stuff I hear about AP.. but I am not sure what to think about AP at NVC stage , anyone has an idea?

    Thank you !

    I got similar email couple of weeks back  post calling NVC they informed it was sent out by mistake . 

    Please call them and seek clarity.
