Made a visit to the post office distribution hub/center, spoke to a very helpful supervisor who managed to get me my letter!

Officially a greencard holder!
 
Pro tip: Make sure your mailbox has the applicant's name on it, otherwise they may ACK the letter! 

I am so frustrated 😓  😓  😓 
Got my USPS tracking number for my greencard, it was supposed to be delivered today.

As of today, it went undelivered with status "Addressee unknown" 

I have received all USCIS documentation to this address with no problem.
 
My name is not inside of the physical mailbox, my wife's is.

I'm thinking that they did not deliver because of this.

Will call USPS tomorrow to try to see if they can still deliver it  

I am fearful that it will be sent back to USCIS and will take another couple of months to get sent to me again. Ugh!

Has anyone heard of this happening?  
 

I feel you! I applied in September and only just got my biometrics notice. 
So happy to hear your green card is approved! Hope you get your SSN soon now too :) 

I did! Have been waiting for EAD for almost a year now after getting an RFE and resubmitting 2x. Looking back now, I should have checked No and just got a SSN from social security office. 

In other news, did my interview yesterday and AOS case status updated to "Case Was Approved"!!  🎉🎉🎉

My EAD application's status updated to "Case Closed Benefit Received By Other Means", so, I believe that means with the greencard I will be able to work, finally! 

in fact yes! i called the ss office again (after calling them so many times and no help) this time some holy woman helped me, she talked to her manager and on the next day i received a call scheduling my appointment!

my wife is still waiting for the interview for adjustment status. still don not have SS# because her visa expired because SS office were closed. did her biometrics on 02/17 & still waiting for the interview. planning to not do my taxes until she get her SS#. anybody knows how long is the interview after the biometrics & also, will she able to to get any of the stimulates checks? 

Wow, and I recently sent it in about a week ago (they got it 5 days ago), ''cause I had gotten an RFE for it. Oh well, I guess they will probably just disregard it now. I do feel cheated wasting time on it!

Welp the i944 apparently is officially gone off of the US CIS website. Anyone else being cheated after spending all that time on it? Lol

What ?? I thought it was not mandatory then? Luckily I filed mine with I-944despite the court order. I saw a post here where one said a lawyer advised her to file with it even if it wasn’t mandatory.

Why do you think so? They ask for the I-944. That's what you send.

Yes .. that’s how I read it. 

I think a new ruling just unblocked the I-944 for most of the US....the situation is fluid at the moment.
 
 

Few pages earlier there was few people saying they got the RFE as well. Some August filers got the same- it is required now.

September filer here too. All i got was the receipts and nothing else. 

Late response but no update on biometrics thus far.

This happened to me.  It was their mistake.  Refile with your 485 receipt and the 765 no fee

Update: So we got approved NOAs for Forms I-485 and I-131. We got a refused NOA for our I-765 Employment Authorization due to: (1) incorrect payment amount and (2) outdated version.

They received our AOS package on September 3rd and this notice was sent on the 26th. 

I don't understand how they came to this as we did everything correctly.

Our CC was charged $1,225 and we specified in every form's cover letter that we were filing concurrently I-485 so we were exempt from paying the I-765 filing fee. 

The form's edition is 08/25/20 which is the correct edition (USCIS officers have nulled a printed number under the barcode with black ink?)

Anybody have any suggestions as what next steps are? Do I fight this? Do I pay the fee? 



 

I'm sure by now most of you have heard or read that the fee increases and decreases scheduled to take effect on October 2nd have been put on hold!!! For how long we don't know.

We don't know for how long it will last as undoubtedly they will try to get this thrown out like with the I-944, but it is good news for the October 2020 filers. If you know anyone submitting in October best they shake a leg and get it in before this goes away!

Just sent in my package today via UPS and without the I-944 (I included a note in the cover page detailing my reason of doing so using the following USCIS statement.) Good luck to all September filers, we're in this together!

I just included this note on my cover page: 

Please note: I have not included the Declaration of Self-Sufficiency (I-944) form as the Inadmissibility on Public Charge Grounds Final Rule has been paused as of July 29, 2020. As per USCIS update on the Injunction of the Inadmissibility on Public Charge Grounds Final Rule found on https://www.uscis.gov/green-card/green-card-processes-and-procedures/public-charge/injunction-of-the-inadmissibility-on-public-charge-grounds-final-rule “Applicants and petitioners whose applications or petitions are postmarked on or after July 29, 2020, should not include the Form I-944” (USCIS, 2020).

I posted regarding this a while back. I treated this question very technically and ticked off NO as the instructions of the I-485 clearly state that the immigrant category for K1 requires the submission of the I-944 (obviously the I-944 is not required to be submitted now due to the injunction).

I'm pretty sure you check no not exempt!
