January 2025 AOS Filers
KoreaninHawaii replied to Yareth's topic in Adjustment of Status Case Filing and Progress Reports
Hello everyone. Hope everyone having a good weekend. 😊 Another quick update: My wife I-765 case has now gone to card produced on February 22 2025. 🥰. Unfortunately MyUSCIS currently shows the tracking for it as unavailable so maybe the card will be coming soon and the SS card soon after? -

My wife didn’t even get a notification that they received her cases till like 3 weeks later (3 business weeks since they no count weekends and federal holidays) and the letters with her case numbers showed up a little bit later. Every lockbox is different so just gotta hold out. -

@agsw I had 2 IOE cases. One for her I-485 and one for her I-765. It also shows up as a concurrent filing for them on MyUSCIS. My wife also received around the same number of emails. My wife I-765 approval was so quick due to us living in Hawaii and I would assume they just do mostly Hawaii so they have a lower case load compared to some of the other service centers. -

I did put the required colored paper on top of my refiling as requested but unfortunately I can't say if you can put the same paperwork with the scan bars on the bottom because when USCIS sent back my paperwork the big enveloped was heavily damaged and most of my paperwork had a good amount of water damage to it so I had to reprint and refill out everything. Luckily they put the returned checks and the required photos back inside the small zip-lock back that I sent them in. They only papers that I did sent back was the color paper as required and the NOA's that were sent with it damaged as they were. Personally for me. I just redid everything I even used the new forms just to be sure. But also I believe they did ask me to use the news ones too in my refiling so I had to reprint everything anyhow. But after that everything went smooth from there. 😊 Just to let everyone know though I'm sure I stated it mine was sent back though due to actually not sending the first page of the I-485 not because I filed out the forms wrong. I was slightly rushing and did overthink filling out all the forms hence why I probably forgot to put the first page in my first filing lol. -

Awesome to hear. 😊 For your friend that must of been around 6 months for her which is not bad. Do you happen to know if she had to do an interview prior to her I-485 approval? -

Thank you! Glad it went quickly and wife is happy too. 😊 Now we await the I-485 hopefully doesn’t take too long. 😇 Also anyone who’s done the I-765 how long did it take you from approval to receive your EAD and SS card? -

I see. Might be it. Least it’s not something more serious and a relatively easy fix to do. Don’t stress too much. The first time I filed and it got sent back I forgot to give the first page of the I-485 filing lol. -

@ScarletWitch6x Did you send them a copy of your visa in your passport? I also sent the NOA2 but also a copy of my wife visa that was given to her in her passport. -

Biometrics appointment attended today. Quick and no problems. They let us do it early since nobody else was there. Now to wait on updates to the cases. 🥰 -

Was the same for me. Was like 3 weeks of waiting for me but don't forget too that they don't count weekends and any holidays as working days so in reality for me it was exactly 14 days for a response from them so like "2 weeks" for them. 🤣 -

Should be fine though I've seen online some people who used CC's to pay their fees sometimes their CC company fraud protections flagged the payment as suspicious I guess due to it being such a large amount. Though I believe USCIS will try 2 times before rejecting the cases. Perhaps you can call your CC company to let them know you have a large amount going tto be charged by USCIS? -

I did checks also but my wife (beneficiary) name was no where on the checks. I also signed the checks too. She doesn't have a bank account currently either. Though IDK if it had anything to do with it but the sections where it stated who filled out the forms I did say I did them for her and I did make sure the address on the checks were the same as my mailing address. -

@Edward and Jaycel Yes. Had the coversheet with the returned paperwork and was asked to put on top of the resubmission which I did. Did not have any problems with my paperwork after that. -

For me the first time I sent my paperwork in they sent everything back but also stapled the I-797C to the associated paperwork but mine was sent back due to forgeting to attach the first page of my wife I-485 and was suppose to use the update forms and the I-765 cannot start processing due to the I-485 being sent back to me. I actually never received any rejection letters or notices just all my paperwork sent back in 1 big white envelope. -
Just to clarify. Once I receive my wife ROM I can go to the Phillipines consulate (local one for me is based in Honolulu) to change her name on her passport? Also since she is already staying here in the USA with me do I order/get the ROM from the PSA or the consulate and if I have to go through PSA to get the ROM how do I go about doing that?

💓 Won't be a total loss though since I will have to get a few things notarized (some of my copies) and I don't have anyone here who can legally do it here so I should be able to get that at least done when I go. -

Yeah I just saw that too. I don't think it will be possible to do it in the timeframe by the time I will be in the area but I will still start the process anyhow. Luckly the consulate there will be in charge of ROMs for our area. -

Lol my boss isn't going to be exactly thrilled for me asking for time off again so soon too. Also going to try to get her Philippines passport updated with my last name since the consulate isn't too far away and I will already be there for the day. Might as well try to. -

Received 4 letters today from USCIS. Got my online code to add the case to her MyUSCIS account and her biometrics appoint was scheduled on 2/18/2025. 🥰 -

Might not have to contact USCIS via live agent. USPS does informed delivery in my area and it show my notices from USCIS should be delivered today so I will go check later this afternoon since that's when most of everyone mail is delivered by then. -

Tried that actually. Unfortunately the agent did not give me the online access code.
