Thank you. Congrats to you too!

We did too!!! Congrats!!! 🎊 

Congrats on that! Hopefully, you guys get a quick EAD approval. We got ours too, it's for the 24th, but we're going to wait until then. From what I've read the Philly office generally doesn't allow walk-ins. We're fairly impressed with how fast they've got out the notices and appointments scheduled so far. Fingers crossed it keeps up.

We got our appointment letter from the USCIS website for 8/22. We went today 8/9 to see if we could do a walking and they allowed. 10 min after completed our status changed to being actively reviewed! 

July 1 | Dropped off Package at UPS (Concurrent Filing in the US: I-485 (AOS), I-765 (EAD), I-130 (Travel Parole)
 
July 6 | USCIS Received the Package
 
July 11 | Text Alerts: Received Confirmation Texts from USCIS they received the applications. IOE Receipt number (3) was provided for each application
 
July 14 | Received an update that I am schedule for biometrics 
 
July 17 | Received Confirmation letters (I-797C) via mail from USCIS providing the same IOE numbers. Received letter in mail (I-797C) to sign up on USCIS website and enter the provided access code to track application progress online.
 
July 21 | Received ASC Appointment Notice via mail for the biometrics appointment. (Scheduled for July 31)

Submitted AOS package 7/3/23
NOA 7/11/23
Biometrics appointment 8/2/23

I've been looking at some other timelines from people who submitted AOS in 2023 and those who receive biometrics appointment this quickly tend to get Greencard approved quickly as well (1-2 months after biometrics appt). EAD has also been approved 1 day after biometrics?! AP seems to not be approved because they just approve greencard first which rules out the need for AP. 

This sounds so much quicker than what people were seeing last year so I'm unsure how optimistic we should be. 

Created this thread for my fellow July 2023 AOS filers.

I pray this part goes by fast!

In case anyone hasn't checked yet, looks like things are speeding up at the NVC. They were 9 weeks behind last week, now just six weeks behind.
