Update:

 

The case finally has an update!!! “New Card Is Being Produced”

 

We got a text and email today that the card is being produced and will be mailed in the next 30 days. It looks like they waived the interview at last. Hoping for quick resolutions for everyone else still waiting. 

 

 

Congratulations!!!
Did you file N-400 while I-751 was pending?

Hi fellow VJers! 

New to the thread and was hoping for some feedback. Sent out wife's i-751 in September. 

NOA received Sept 15. We're going on almost 60 days without any updates. Current case status is still showing when case was received. We're out here in Las Vegas, NV and were assigned a WAC case number, which I believe is California. Should I make an inquiry or sit it out for another month? Any similar cases here? 

I received NOA on 9/15 as well. 
Still no news about either biometrics appointment or reuse of it.

For the service inquiry (Non-Delivery of Notice) that I made last month, I've got some answer from USCIS (it took a little less than 2 weeks), however their reply was not that helpful.

This is what USCIS said on the email :
"We have received your service request and researched the status of your case. You indicated that you have not received a notice for your biometrics appointment. We have requested that you be scheduled for a biometrics appointment. You will receive an appointment notice as soon as there is an available date and time at your local Application Support Center (ASC).  Due to backlogs at some sites it may take more than 90 days for this appointment to be scheduled. "

Call USCIS OR ask Emma if they received your package, and ask if your receipt number can be shared with you.
I remember someone got his receipt number through Emma chat; the agent would ask your name, DoB, etc.

I understand that.  But, it is a tip that 2022 filers have been sharing and it seems to work.

 

Thank you
I just filed an inquiry on the biometrics.
I've been waiting 48 days now. 😭

Hi, Thanks for creating this September thread

My package was sent on 08/31 and delivered on 09/02.
And today I've got a text message with the receipt #.
Cuz my receipt # starts with SRC, I suppose it is Texas service center?

Got it!!

Thank you Mike and Rocio 😄

Hi,

I've been preparing I-751 and came up with a question about addresses that my spouse and I have resided since becoming a permanent resident.

We had lived in Washington state until February this year, and we moved to TX.
For the first 2 months in TX, we had stayed in a hotel and Airbnb, until we bought a house and moved in.
While we were in the hotel and Airbnb, we had used a P.O Box.

On USCIS website, I submitted address changes for the P.O Box and the current address.

And about I-751 address history, which address should I write between WA address and the current TX address?
Is it ok to write the P.O box between the two addresses? (and maybe write a brief explanation that we were staying in hotel?)
OR should I write the hotel and Airbnb addresses only?

Thank you

What was the case status when you checked online, AFTER getting the 'biometric reused' notice/message?

 

Asking because I filed N-400, got my NOA,

THEN online the case status & case history is confusingly mismatched wrt the letter on biometrics 

Case Status and Case History show:

      " October 22, 2020 We scheduled your biometrics appointment."

 

BUT when I look at Documents for the letter mentioned, it shows:

   "Biometric Reuse

Sent on October 22, 2020"

 

So now I'm worried that USCIS determined they will reuse, but they mistakenly set the case status to "biometrics appointment" to happen for which a date will never come, so I'm stuck in limbo.

 

Can anyone else in this state check their status and let me know?

Thanks

Case status of I-131 has been that error message from the very beginning until now.
-> I already contacted USCIS tech support for this issue, and was told that they will get back to me in a few weeks.

Case status of I-765
"We received your Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, and mailed you a receipt notice."
-> under "Document" tab, I found biometrics reuse notice (and its paper copy was mailed to me the following week)
-> briefly 5-6 weeks after the previous message, the status got updated as "Card is being produced"

Not sure if my I-131 has been approved as well.
I will just wait and see if I actually get biometrics appointment notice via mail.

2017 that’s crazy. The receipt date for a case inquiry for Seattle family based AOS changed to April 2018. I think I’m going to also call uscis tomorrow and see what a tier 2 officer says about that. 
 

That’s great news about the FB one though because I’m a March 2019 filer too. 

I know! 2017? That's ridiculous!
I hope the Tier-2 officer you will talk to has better answer such as 2017, 2018 interview is now done?

Please share with us if you talk with a Tier-2 officer.
For somehow I could not reach Tier-2 officer at all via call these days. 

I'm too a Seattle AOS filer (PD May 2019)
Here's what I have found so far recently.

A few days ago, from FB
-> I read a post of a marriage based AOS filer of Seattle (PD March 2019) that she got an 'interview scheduled' notice and now waiting for the actual interview date via mail.

2 weeks ago, from Seattle Green Card WhatsApp group
-> someone from the group got a chance to talk to a Tier-2 officer, and was told that the AOS interviews that Seattle FO is focusing on is for the people who filed in 2017. (not a typo. 2017)

anything is possible with USCIS. they have asked people for biometrics after people received their green cards. its a squandering organization 

Yeah, their process does not make sense to me, but no choice. 😂

While waiting for AOS interview, I applied for the renewal of EAD/AP, and got biometrics reuse notice in the end of September.

Yesterday (October 22nd), I got 2 text messages and 2 emails notifying as "We have taken an action on your case"
So far I do not see any changes made for I-485, I-130, I-765, however the case status of my I-131 is unavailable.

When asked Emma, I'm required to attend a biometrics appointment, and it has not been scheduled yet. 

Seriously??

After getting biometrics reuse notice, and will get a biometrics appointment?

Anybody has the same/similar situation with me?

Hello there

 

I’ve been patiently waiting as well and had to renew my EAD/AP once.

 

Here’s my AoS timeline:
1.Filed AoS in Dec 2018.

2.Case ready to be scheduled in Jan 2019.

3.Interview cancelled in June 2020.

4.Multiple email/online notifications between Case ready to be scheduled and Interview Cancelled in Oct 2020.

(Last update: Case ready to be sched)

 

It’s weird that I never received any interview schedule by mail but they were cancelling it somehow. Is there anybody here with the same experience?

 

Also, if you or if you know anybody here who has received their AoS interview schedule during the pandemic, can you share please how much time you had to prepare your docs/evidences from receipt of notice of interview to interview date.

 

Thank you!

My PD is May 2019 and I got RTS(Ready to be scheduled for an interview) in September 2019.

I had the same situation in July this year.
Without having any interview schedule received, I got an interview cancellation notification and a RTS notification on the same day.

From immigration forums, I read that address change update or EAD/AP renewal submission may cause such notifications, however neither of those applied in my case.
My lawyer said that it seems like a system and/or employee error that I can ignore.

EAD renewal is free while your AOS is pending. Just send the renewal document package ASAP, cuz renewal takes longer time these days.

Thanks for the reply. I see someone in this forum got their 130/485 approved in 3 months. Newark Nj FO is really slow according to their posted timeline. IS it normal that it takes so long for marriages based green card?

 

 

Yeah I feel your pain. 
Let's think positive. Newark FO may not be fast, however it is not a worst case, if compared to slower FO

Let me tell you about Seattle FO for instance. There still are marriage based AOS filers who are waiting for the GC interview 2 years already.
There could be more FO whose processing time is as slow as Seattle.

thank you all. I am worried if something is going on. I know some friends filed in last year and had already got notified for interview. is it because I live in NJ?

I-485 interview schedule depends on field offices.
Not sure where your field office is and how slow FO in NJ is, however on VisaJourney I-485 timelines, someone from NJ (PD May 2019) had interview in August 2020 at Newark NJ FO.
Enter your field office and compare your timelines

And you can check USCIS processing time for I-485 in accordance with FO. 
For instance, as of today, out of normal processing time for I-485 at Newark FO is : February 15, 2018

Hello, we are completing the the ead application to renew, and im unsure how to answer question 25 which asks "Your Current Immigration Status or Category...".   Would i write, k1 or k1 overstay with pending adjustment application or something different?

So you filed marriage-based AOS and now about to renew EAD?

My lawyer prepared EAD renewal for me.

For current immigration status or category, he wrote : Pending Adjustment of Status

Problem solved.

I called USCIS, was transferred to tech support team, and the tech person provided me access code to enter my receipt to DHS's USCIS webpage.

I got a copy of my birth certificate through consulate, and had it translated and notarized at the consulate too.

And I submitted both copy of the original in my language and the translated(and notarized) copy of it. 

Congratulations!

omg...3 years??? seriously? So..you had the interview at Seattle FO right?

I too am a Seattle filer still waiting for interview since last year. (my PD is May 2019).

May I ask your timeline if you don't mind please?

Hi All,

While I haven't heard of I-485 interview yet, I sent EAD/AP combo card renewal to USCIS two weeks ago.

And today I got 2 text messages that my case was received.
I entered the two receipt number (which starts with 'IOE') on USCIS tracking page, however, only I-765 receipt number can be checked.

Each time I try to enter the other receipt number (which I assume it is my I-131 case), it returns an error message as below.

    "Validation Error(s)
     You must correct the following error(s) before proceeding:
     You are attempting to add a receipt number that does not exist in My Case Status. Please check your receipt number and try again."

I triple checked my receipt number, and it is correct.

Anybody has same issue? 

My husband's employer asked my SSN to add me as my husband's dependent on his health insurance.

It was before I got SSN, so instead I gave my USCIS Alien Number which I found from NOA1. (and I was added on the insurance successfully)

And later I had the Alien Number replaced with SSN when I got it.

Just received an email stating:

 

Your Case Status: Testing and Interview 

On September 3, 2020, we cancelled or descheduled the interview scheduled for your Form I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR ADJUST STATUS, Receipt Number MSCxxxxxxxxx

 

has anyone else received this? Is there a possibility that they’ll issue GC without an interview? 
 

thank you in advance. 

My PD is 2019-05-15, and the first time I got "we are ready to schedule your Form I485" message was last year September.

In July (2020), I received the same email as the one you've got.

And in less than 10 mins, another email was sent to me saying that "we are ready to schedule your Form I485."

My lawyer said that it could be either system error or USCIS employee error.

And until now I haven't got any updates yet.

I hope interview could be waived
