nothing for me either. I'm wondering if that possible government shutdown last month slowed things down at the USCIS...
April 2011 Filers
- Thread starter Nellisardelli
- Start date
I tried to walk in for biometrics in Boston. I was unsuccessful, but it seemed like if you had a good reason, such as that you will be travelling for the actual date, or if you come in early in the morning for the walk in (I went at 3:30pm-ish), you might be able to do it.
My check was just cashed
So when the check is cashed does that mean the application is 100% accepted?
A cashed check does not mean they have approved it. They always take the money even if they will deny the benefit. Its just part of the procedure.
But It means that you have filed the right forms, the right form revision and the right filing fee. You could still get an RFE (Request for evidence) if they have some documents that are missing that you should have included.

Hey!
I'm not filing for green card just yet - I'm waiting for my husband to get his citizenship (his interview is on May 19th and hopefully after that it will not take much longer to have his oath ceremony). Anyway, I'm hoping to send my papers for GC sometime at the end of May. The only question I have is - does my husband have to get his American passport before I apply for GC? I'm a little bit confused because in the instructions for I-130, on page 2 under "What Documents Do You Need to Show That You Are a U.S. Citizen?" point #4 says that we need to send a copy of the passport. I spoke with two friends of mine and both of them said that it's not necessary to have a passport, but for me it looks the opposite. Can anyone help me with this, please? Thank you in advance!!!

So what did they ask you on the interview?
I included enough evidence with the I-130 (marriage photograph, 2 different photos of us being together, apartment lease paper) so I think that should be enough and shouldn't get an RFE... what else could they need? We've been married for over a year already so that should show them enough proof
What are the next steps after check has been cashed?

So I'm now trying to rationalize why it could be taking longer.
I'm wondering if because my husband does not have an A# already, maybe they have to create one/research to confirm he doesn't have an existing one? Does anyone know anything regarding that?

Hey,
Can you update your signature with your progress so far along with your DO and ASC so maybe I can give you some perspective.
Thanks.
Hey,
Download the filing instructions for the I-130 from the USCIS website (forms) section.
On page 2 of the PDF under General instructions, it will tell you what documents you can provide to show that you are a U.S. citizen.
Hope this helps
I would have copy pasted it here but it did not work sorry abt that!Important advice:
All - Kindly update your signature with your timelines and DO/ASC locations so when you have a doubt or question, we already know what your case status is and that makes it a lot easier to respond back quickly instead of coming back to you with more questions...just a suggestion

Sorry, I normally have a signature, but when I post from my mobile device, it doesn't include it. Here it is.
Me neither? You do or do not have a A#?
My checks have not been cashed. And FYI for anyone getting checks, I am disappointed with Chase Cashier Checks. It is more difficult to check the status of the check than it should be!

Noella, thank you for your answer! It was very nice of you to respond
I actually did download instructions for I-130 and I checked page 2, but I was still confused. Few days ago somebody on March 2011 Filers gave me an answer, so I'm all set. But thanks anyway!martinpkaye

What happens after biometrics?
I just got my biometrics done, and now I'm just wondering...how do we get notified about the progress of the AP/EAD? I see some people get texts - is that the way it's done?
Also, has anyone applied to have their application expedited? I called to submit a Service Request, which they did, and told me I'd get notified within 5 days (nothing yet, but that was just 5 days ago!) Anyone had any experience with this?
Thanks guys!

I received a receipt notice, but no Biometrics notice yet? I'm guessing it took 17 days for you, it's been only 12 days so I guess mine should arrive in the mail within the next few days.
What is the process of doing walk-in biometrics? Do they accept anyone? Or do you need to have a good reason for it?
