You both submitted your forms about 4 days after I did so I assume that there will be about a 4 day gap between our timelines , As long as none of us have any RFE's we should all be within a week or so behind eachother

If you look at Ari4u AOS timeline thread

http://www.immigrationportal.com/showthread.php?p=1243456&mode=linear#post1243456
you can see a comparison between Los Angeles & Houston DO's that will give us an idea of how long to expect on average,

No panic.
A colleague of mine (also AOS thru marriage to USC in NYC) told me that he filed at the beginning of June and had the FP appointment approx one month later.
Considering that ppl receive the FP notice less than a week before the appt we should be getting it next week. No big deal.
 
with Addie_goodvibes timeline, I came home with the expectation of FP Notice today. No it wasan't there. we r still waiting...
 
Hi guys,

looks like our timelines are almoust identical. sarrebal, my LUDs have been changing every day as well in early july. did you guys get your FP notices yet? Looks like most people get them in about 2-3 weeks after the RN. Mine is not here yet...hope it gets here soon...
 
LUD only means that your record was "touched". So I wouldn't worry about it too much if I were you.
 
Our Biometrics FP appt. was this morning, Our schedueld Appt. was for 8:00am we were in and out in 10 minutes. :cool:

Arrive Early before the ASC office opens as there are many people that have same Appt. time , the line fills in fast.
Bring the following:
1)Your original ASC appt. notice
2) Photo ID (IF Photo ID passport has different last name than your ASC notice , bring Marriage license, If your ID and Appt. notice name are not same they will turn you away unless you have Marriage license)
3) Be sure your fingers/ hands are not dry or cracked, If you have dry hands put lotion on the nigt before so when you arrive they will take good prints

We arrived at 7:40. thank goodness we arrived Early because there were already 3 people waiting.The line really got long there more than 10 people in line before the ASC opened at 8:00am.

Once ASC opened you do intial pre-screen check in with a security guard, they ask for your Appt. letter & Photo ID.

Please note : If you filed your I-485 with your new married name and your Govt. ID has your given name or maiden name you will be asked to show the marriage liscense. 2 people were turned away this morning because the name on their ASC FP notice was different than their Passport. Bring your marriage liscense. Luckily for us we went to the Japanese Consulate in Los Angeles yesterday morning and had them make a name change to her passport to reflect her new married name. Once we showed the name change on her passport the ASC office did not need the marriage lsicense.

Moving on' after being pre-screened we were motioned over to the reception desk where they check ID and Appt. Notice AGAIN, :rolleyes: and then they look at your hands to see if there are any cuts or scrapes and to be sure that you will take good prints, My wife has dry hands and very thin fingers the lady at reception inspected her hands then said "your hands are really dry it may be difficult to get good prints, but we will try" :(

We were given a number card (#1 :) ) They gave her a form to fill out, with name, address A# and Receipt number, then they called her number and she was seen by the Finger print dude, he had a hard time taking her prints but finally was able to get good prints, then they took her photo. After that a USCIS officer came over to verify & inspect the prints/ photo before the process was complete.

Once the USCIS officer verified everything looked good we were asked to fill out a customer survey, they stamped her ASC Appt notice and sent us on our way.

We were in & Out in 12 minutes! :D

Now we wait for the interview Appt. hopefully we dont get stuck in a dreaded FBI Name check hold.

received 2nd FP notice today for I-765

We just had our biometrics done today for our I-485

Then I checked the mail today and we received another ASC Finger Print Appt. notice for the I-765 we filed. :confused: :mad:

Do we need to go to this Appt. also or will the completed Appt we did this morning cover our I-765 as well?

Has anyone else gotten 2 FP notices and done both

The one we did this morning was for I-485
this one is for I-765 EAD which from what I understand that in most cases applicants are interviewed and approved for GC before they ever need or even receive EAD so is this ASC Appointment neccesary?

Will it hold up our I-485 petition?

Well after checking my mail this afternoon and receiving the 2nd ASC FP notice for the I-765 we jumped into the car to get Back to the ASC to see if they would process that APPT. as well even though the Appt. notice has us scheduled for 7/25

We arrived before 4pm closing time but they stop taking appts at 3:30.

I did find out some good news!

Once you receive your ASC Appt. notice with Appt. date and time you can go in anytime before your appt. just bring in the Appt. notice and ID and they will see you.

Our I-765 Biometrics Appt. is 7/25 . We are going in on 7/18. So we can get our Biometrics done and into the system for Our EAD to be approved in timely manner. I wish we would have gotten that second ASC notice on Friday :mad:
 
Addie_goodvibes, u r so lucky. We r just 4 days behind you and we still haven't received our FP notices. Hope to receive it early next week.
 
I hope you all get your FP's soon. Who knows you may get your FP's together next week then receive your EAD & even nterview before we do :(

I am hoping all of us on this thread have a smooth process, so far We have not had any RFE's so the process seems to be moving according to the Los Angeles DO timeline.

I dont think Luck has a lot to do with it, seems as though Houston is a bit slow, I drove all the way back down to ASC office today to see if they would process our I-765 FP,they had already closed down so we will be going back Tuesday even though our next FP appt. notice shows Appt. date isn't until 7/25 we have the notice and now can be seen.

Good luck!
 
Hi Addie

That is too bad they had your FP in two appointments. My I-485 and I-765 were all put on one notice, hopefully you can get in before your appt. on July 25.
I had a similar experience with the FP appt. It was very fast (we had 8:00 appt) Getting there earlier was a good idea as people began lining up before it opened.
I am crossing my fingers the interview notice comes quickly! We should be around the same time.
 
Hi guys,

I still have not received any FP notices, really hope they are coming soon. However, I was wondering who mails the FP notices: local DO or NBC?? MY DO is in Charlotte, NC, seems like their processing dates are not bad at allm but I have also been told that local DO only takes care of I-485, the rest is handled by NBC...does anyone knows how exactly it works???

Thanks so much!

Are in California? I am in Los Angeles area maybe we have the same DO, WE are going into the Gardena ASC tomorrow morning to get the second I-765 FP taken care of that way there won't be much of a delay in getting my wife's EAD
 
Hi guys,

Got my FP appointment notice in the mail today. Have a couple of questions: First of all it says "Case Type: I-485/I-765" does that mean that I am doing both FP for I-485 and FP for I-765???? It says Code 3. The second questions I have is it looked from your discussion that as long as the appointment is scheduled, one can go ahead and try to get it done even before the scheduled date, is that correct? Do you think they would see me on the same day but a few hours earlier?? Thanks so much!
 
Your ASC / FP appt. is for I-485 & I-765 if you received them both in one notice then they will take care of it in one appt. I wish we received our ASC appt. for 485 & 765 in one notice :confused:

Actually as long as you have both ASC notices you can take care of them together according to the Gardena Ca. Application Support Center. Your local ASC may have a different Policy regarding this, I suggest your bring both notices and ask the Information desk if you can take care it all the same time.

ASC codes mean different things for
ASC code 2 is usually only thumb print and photo submitted with I-765ASC code 3 is more thorough 10 prints and photos submitted for I-485

We completed our first ASC/FP appt. for 485 on Saturday , only to come home and find another FP appt.notice in the mail for our I-765. So we rushed back to the ASC center to see if we could take care of the 765 FP unfortunatly they were closing. they did tell us we could come back anytime.

They did tell us we could come back before the appt. date of 7/25

At least at the Gardena CA, ASC they will let you do your ASC/FP notices at any time as long as you present an Appt. notice.

I am not sure if they will make you wait behind those who have appt. scheduled on that day, I will find out tomorrow morning as We are going in to try to take care of the 765 FP appt. tomorrow.

Thanks for your help! Yes it looks like it is the notice for both applications together, which makes life so much easier for me. I am a student in NC, but work for the summer in Washington, DC, so if I would have to drive down to NC twice this summer it would be a real pain...It did not look like any of you guys applied for AP (I131)...that's the one I really need right now...no rush for me for any other stuff really, but having AP and being able to travel would be sweet...anyways, thanks again and good luck getting those FP done tomorrow, hope it works out...

It seems these days people are getting the interview in a timely manner and even before they receive their EAD 765 approval or I-131 APapproval. Once the interview goes down and if approved the GC or GC stamp on your passport negate the need for I-131/ or I-765

I would ask around about I-131 to see if anyone else has expereince with the Advanced Parole.
