Not currently (I have one myself as I've filed most of her forms or sent them to our attorney) but I assume that is fine to set up now and e-file? Hopefully that will save some time, too. Thank you for all your help.

Hello all, I am reviving this topic as my attorney finally responded to me and suggested re-filing form I-765 since the check sent with it for the fee was never deposited, meaning it was somehow likely never received. My attorney is incredibly slow and I want to handle re-filing myself if possible. Is there any issue doing so given I've used an attorney for all other forms? Given I am in Chicago, am I just mailing this to the Chicago USCIS lockbox? Is there any way to expedite the processing of the form given it had already been filed but somehow been lost, in the mail or otherwise? Thanks in advance.

Thank you - I have reached out and will see if he has receipt. Yes I am in Illinois.

This is my first time hearing the lockbox terminology. Is it some sort of secure address / location where physical filings are sent? Are all I-765 filings sent here? I suppose the best step, as you mentioned, is checking with my attorney and reaching out to them accordingly.

I was looking at the case processing tabs of VJ: https://www.visajourney.com/times/ . Maybe I am interpreting that incorrectly, though? Another question; shouldn't a notice of receipt and case number have been sent to us by now? The potential wait time isn't as concerning to me as that.

Hey all, I checked current processing times and it looks like work authorizations (form I-765) from December 2024 are currently being processed. My wife's K-1 visa was approved earlier in 2024. We were married in July 2024 and within a few months had filed all subsequent necessary documents, including the I-765. Every other document has been assigned a case number and has been confirmed either as received or in process. The I-765 is not listed. Maybe this is due to the fact it was initially filed with an incorrect fee. I can actually see that case was denied on 10/18/24 for that reason - there was a discrepancy in the fee our attorney sent and an updated fee based on filing other documents. We re-filed a new I-765 in mid-November, however, and the case is not shown anywhere nor has a new case number been assigned. We have reached out to USCIS support that gave a copy and pasted line about how things can take a while. I asked them at what point should I be taking any action given there's a slim possibility the mail was either lost or somehow sent to the wrong address. I was then given the same copy and pasted line and disconnected. I've also tried an email inquiry with USCIS which I was told was received and that they'd try to reply, about two weeks ago, but no response there either. Given there is no new case number assigned yet should I be concerned, or am I just experiencing unlucky variance on timing. Maybe with the new admin and general chaos there have been delays (layoffs?) and I should continue waiting? Or is thre any proactive action I should take? Thank you, Phil

Hi all, the my fiance's visa was approved a few months ago and about a month ago was transferred to the US embassy in Bangkok. Since then though, absolutely no luck finding an interview slot. Just wondering what others' timelines may look like and if this is fairly typical. I started checking myself on a daily basis about a week ago but was a bit sporadic before that. Also, are there any tricks or tips to being able to get a slot? Perhaps a certain time of day they tend to add open slots to their calendar. Thank you!
