This is obviously a mistake.
 
 
Do we just fill out the typographical request form on USCIS? Can my U.K.-born husband provide this GC as valid proof of his status, as it currently is?
 
Just 🤯 right now.  Under what circumstances would a USA born person ever need a green card?! How was this not an automatic "🤔  hmm, somethings wrong here"?

This is obviously a mistake.

I’ve seen a UK one here on Visa Journey that said
Country of Birth:  Unknown
 
Somebody thought UK was an abbreviation for unknown..

This is obviously a mistake.

and for this they take 18-24 months to process  ... the cognitive ability of those workers seems to be off the chart 

Wow.  USCIS has outdone itself with this one.  Seasonal workers out smoking weed behind the service center dumpsters for sure.

The live chat is back on,  it seems like early feb PDs are moving forward now, I just got my bios today, try to ask the agent if you got your FP appointment scheduled , if not request expedite ASAP 

This might help everyone including your case:
Note: Biometric Appointment you will not get any update either as SMS or USCIS Online portal. 
Appointment Notice are only sent by Mail, many has got lost in process while some are still pending delivery, while some has not been schedule at all. 
 
In order to know your status if schedule or not, Go to Emma, type ''live chat'', select ''Green Card'' A representative will attend to you. 
Here is what you will tell representative.   ''My Biometric Appointment Notice Mail is missing'' - If truly it has been schedule the date will be given to you right away and if mail has been sent but pending, the representative will tell you and if its over 15 days the mail has been sent but yet you did not receive, the representative will re-issue a notice mail to you, the last option if no appointment at all, the representative will tell you case is still under review due to Covid backlog. 
 
All the best.

@Ermehgerdd Given the current backlog in the system, I wouldn't be surprised if the online status wasn't updated immediately to reflect the biometric schedule status, however it seems like they are gathering pace now. 
So, you are gonna receive the biometric notice shortly, if you haven't already. 

Hi there,  no - the online case status is still "fingerprint fee received"...and the same as you've indicated for the rest.
 
Our biometric appointment is 5/13

I made a note to myself to be sure to come back here to Visa Journey to share with you all my experience with my filing of the writ of mandamus, whether the results would be good or bad, as I am hoping many of you, who were stuck like me, get the resolve you deserve. I noticed no one has documented enough about it so I'm happy to be the first.
 
My Writ of Mandamus that my lawyer filed forced the Jordanian Embassy to make a decision on our case since being stuck in AP since September 2019. It was a SUCCESS. My fiancé picked up his Visa this morning. Before I get into the process, how long it took, who I hired, etc, I will breakdown my timeline first below. 
 
I'm asking the senior and regular active members here to try to refrain from continuously sharing FALSE information about WoM. In the past several weeks I have read numerous comments from many of the senior members on other WoM posts DISCOURAGING people to move forward yet admitting to not knowing much about it or how it works.  First of all you are not lawyers. Try not discourage on a subject you don't know much about. That's what petitioners and beneficiaries should seek legal consultations for. No two WOM's are alike. Only a lawyer can tell you if you are a good candidate and hopefully, you will consult with a lawyer like mine who insisted he see the petition and hear our case before agreeing.
 
So here is my timeline and what happened with my WOM:
 
- Visa Category, K-1
- Fiance's consulate Interview was 9/8/2019 (I-129F petition filed 3/23/2018)
- Agent at window advised we need to wait for a call that would "come in shortly" and returned passport
- Numerous emails sent to the Embassy inquiring what they needed with no response
- October 31, 2019 received an email from embassy asking for proof of relationship....we sent the same exact package they returned to us 10 minutes before his interview. Only thing we added were a few more photos
- No updates or word from them until January 2020 where I saw several updates on CEAC, no communication.
- February 2020 pandemic hit, no word. AP changed to REFUSED
- Researched writ of mandamus just in case we didn't hear anything soon and in fear pandemic will drag our case
- April 2020 located the best lawyer for me with long successful track record and paid for a 30 minutes consultation. After hearing my story and seeing my case, he accepted my case.
- May 15th I started my case. 
- May 22nd my case was sent to the 8 agencies my lawyer was suing. They have 60 days to respond.
- Those 8 agencies are: USCIS,  DEPT OF STATE,  DEPT OF HOMELAND SECURITY,  US CONSULATE AMMAN JORDAN,  SECRETARY OF THE DEPT OF DEPT OF HOMELAND SECURITY,  THE DIRECTOR OF USCIS, SECRETARY OF STATE, CHARGE' D'affaires of the US CONSULATE AMMAN JORDAN. 
- June 29, my fiance receives a call from the US Embassy Amman asking him to update his Medical and send it in with his passport. We wait. 
- July 18, Passport is sent back to my fiance with a list of 10 questions (similar to DS-5535) and to email responses back and wait for a call. Paper states it can take 2-6 weeks.
- July 18 also, US Attorney emails my lawyer and asks for a 60 day extension since its close to deadline. Judge also grants it. 
- July 23, I email the responses to the 10 questions to Embassy.
- August 26, Embassy calls my fiance back to resend his passport again
- September 2, my lawyer receives an email from the US Attorney advising him that the Visa has been issued and CEAC status changes an hour later to "ISSUED"
- September 3, my fiance tracks the tracking number and sees Visa is already at Aramex and goes picks it up.
 
It took a total of about 3 1/2 months from the time they were served to finish. Definitely worth it. I have read some members giving incorrect information that the WoM could cost around $15,000 and read other outrageous numbers. It does not. I checked numerous lawyers before hiring mine and have received quotes anywhere from $4000 to $8000. Definitely have not heard more. I paid for my consultation which was then applied towards my WoM.  My lawyer charged me on the lower end than most.  I hired Jim Hacking of The Hacking Law Firm. I would only recommend him. 
 
Please feel free to message me if you have any questions. Wishing you all love and happiness! 
 
 

Our packet was also received on February 11th.  I called USCIS last week and was informed that it could take up to 90 days to receive notice of receipt.
 
However, the check finally cleared today so I'm hoping to see the NOA1 letter in the mail in the next week or so.

Just wanted to let you guys know we just got NOA for AOS and EAD (in the mail), but still waiting on AP.  50+ days

So I filed an EAD/AP renewal application at the very beginning of November and just got a receipt text message yesterday. Nothing in the mail yet. Compared to pre-pandemic my NOA1 came in like 10 days. 

I should clarify that we didn't receive anything in the mail yet.  I actually saw the check debit from my account and I called USCIS the same day and received the receipt numbers over the phone.  I'll update here when we actually get the notice in the mail. 

For anyone following along, we received our NOA and got our 3 receipt numbers for AOS, EAD, and AP nearly 6 weeks later.

Yes I am currently here.
Thank you a lot. Will consider those options. 

Since you asked if there anything you can do, yes; there is something you can do to move your case along.

Join the Milligan v Pompeo lawsuit (the deadline for new plaintiffs is Feb 15) or pursue your own. Consult with an immigration attorney about filing a nandamus action against the State Department. Or see if you can qualify for a National Interest Exemption. 
 
You have options. Unfortunately, as is the case with many things in life, those options greatly depend on how much you are willing to pay.

Congratulations, now try and relax and most importantly try to weather the journey.

Sent off our AOS packet tonight with FedEx delivery scheduled by 10:30am tomorrow!  So relieved to finally have sent it off and await next steps.

once again, I'm sure you didn't, but I believe I posted here when we got our interview.  And, to repeat, given the odd and disappointing reaction here on VJ to the first news of the lawsuit oppty, many of the plaintiffs that were on this site stopped coming here.  And the vast majority of the plaintiffs were never on this site.
