Any AUGUST 2010 filers out there? please post your time line here!

citi786 i have a ?? for you : How did you qualify on 40 credits? , how they count it ?, i can't figure it out, can i take my husbands credits? I used joint sponsor. Just interesting to know how to count for the future. Thanks

I've been in US working for a long time. Every quarter you work, you earn a point. So if you work 40 quarters, you earn 40 points. 40 points are the maximum and will not increase once you reach the number 40. When you get your Social Security statement, it tells you how many points you have earned so far.
I would suggest to go and get your FP done earlier. Cavvichi might be in California thats why its taking longer, it took me almost 25 days to get my appointment letter. I went out the next business day and got it done, they don't care if you show up early!

ehehe... I've received yesterday the letter for Biometrics... set for October the 8th... I'm gonna try a walk-in today... in Chula Vista, anybody tried there? I'm maybe gonna open a new thread about this :)
 
Morejunk - You may want to take a chance. My appointment was for 10/04 but I got it done 09/13 with no problems. First thing the security guard will ask you is that if you have an appointment, don't answer and just give him the appointment letter. They don't mind if you go there earlier. I used the one in down town LA, 1015 Wilshire Blvd.
Good Luck!

Citi - Thanks and Congrats.
 
Moving right along here (and clearly doing a walk-in biometrics speeds things up - since I'd still be waiting for my biometrics appointment had I gone by the letter) ....

08/12/2010 => Day 00 => Package sent by overnight FEDEX to Chicago lockbox
08/13/2010 => Day 01 => Package received and signed for in Chicago (hopefully lucky Friday 13th)
08/23/2010 => Day 11 => Email and Text receipt notification
08/23/2010 => Day 11 => Cheques (or I suppose I should say checks now) cashed - $1010 and $355
08/26/2010 => Day 14 => NOAs received in the mail (all 4 of them)
08/30/2010 => Day 18 => Received biometrics appointment letter (for 9/23)

What an awesome update by NikosF.... man! way to go!!!!!! best of luck in that interview!

I have a minor update but wanted to share with the list and make sure all of our stats are visible. As I said before, we sent our RFE response 9/13... today I checked the on-line status and found out that the RFE response was received 9/16/2010 and that processing of our application has resumed. Here is our updated time line:

8/4/2010 => Day 1 =>Mailed AOS to the Chicago Lockbox late last night.
08/06/2010 => Day 3 => Package received by USCIS Chicago
08/13/2010 => Day 10 => Email from USCIS with receipt numbers MSC etc
08/13/2010 => Day 10 => Checks cashed by USCIS
08/16/2010 => Day 13 => Notice of Action received for I485 and I765
08/30/2010 => Day 27 => Biometrics appointment for 9/22/2010.
08/31/2010 => Day 28 => Got the biometrics done at ASC.
09/02/2010 => Day 30 => Got RFE request for additional docs from the petitioner.
RFE was dated 8/30/2010
09/13/2010 => Day 41 => Sent the requested documentation overnight.
09/16/2010 => Day 44 => Evidence received by USCIS. Processing resumed

Have a nice weekend!
 
No new activity Citi. I havent called customer service yet, Ive had some family issues and havent had the brains to do it. I did check however and saw that the I-765 application is online, but the I-485 isn't. I guess i still have to call and see whats going on. And im still waiting for my Biometrics letter to come in, but as i can see theyre a little delayed. I must admit this whole waiting process is very nerve-wracking.

I hope and pray that your family issues get resolved and may the good Lord help you in every way. Please call USCIS and have them fix the problem so you can get your bio metrics appointment. They open at 8:00am eastern time and its the best time to call them, trust me!
All the best.........
 
Time line of things and then flop!

Hi everyone,
Read all the posts and sending hope for all!

I'm a US citizen, filed a adjustment of status for my husband in April and within about a month, he got his employment card, then a month later we got the Biometrics appt which was smooth and unscary and then in July'10 we had his INS appt which was horrible as the officer was a d@ck and could care less.
My husband had lost his old passport/visa and we had to request his file from the FIOA and had the letter from D.C with us but the officer didn't like that this was "our proof" of legal entry. We gave him all kinds of papers that he made copies of unemotionally.
Afterwards, we went to the social security office and got his social which will say "only for work" until you get your perm resd card and then we went to the DMV and got his Texas ID which will say "vistor only" until you get your Perm Resd card.
Then about a week ago, INS sent us another request for an interview as they don't want to accept the FIOA!!! they want us to come in at 8:10am on Sept 28th with any "proof" of his last entry. We don't know what to do!
 
The USCIS forum is not up to date, nor the phone number as they have the same info. We got my husbands employment card a couple of months ago, and the forum is still saying "pending" for that case number. I called my lawyer and she said the forum and number is their only way of getting updated info.
 
alyon200,

i know what you are going through but still you have to make a new thread this thread is for AOS august filers. If you can make another thread on the board that might help you more than posting over here.

Unfortunately the proof of burden is on you and not on them (USCIS). You have to give them a solid proof of the legal entry of your husband in US or else he will not be able to adjust status. Just go to the main page of this site and click on " +Post New Thread ". There are a bunch of experts here, more knowledgeable then attorneys and very willing to help us all.
God Bless!
 
Hi Everyone Ive been on this forum forever but this is my first post. I'm a little nervous after reading everyone's time line. I still haven't received my biometrics appointment yet. I called on Wednesday and the guy said he would put in a service request for me he said if I don't get anything in 45 days then I can call back.

8/6/2010 ---> Day 1 => Mailed I-130/I-485/I-765 to Chicago lockbox
8/09/2010 ---> Day 3 => Package received by USCIS Chicago
8/16/2010 ---> Day 10 => Received notices of action (receipts) in the mail
STILL AWAITING BIOMETRICS !!! I'm getting edgy because looks like everyone has received theirs even who sent after me.....

Welcome to the forum!
By any chance, are you in California? Have you in the past 15 months given your biometrics to USCIS?
On an average it takes four days to receive your biometrics appointment after you receive you NOA receipts. But in case of California more or less 25 days.
