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

did you receive a notification via email/sms (update on the uscis website) before receiving the biometrics letter?
 
Citi,

We got the FP appointment letter on 8/30/2010, scheduled for 9/22/2010. If you haven't done so, you may want to take a look at this other forum:
[NOTE I'm not allowed to post URLs yet, so I had to change the web sites, copy the url to your browser and replace the spaces with . dots]

www trackitt com/usa-immigration-trackers/i130-i485

They have the stats nicely organized by all kinds of category. I didn't have time to look but may be you can get an idea about what is the average time to get FP appointment for folks in CA, etc.

However, my understanding is that irrespective of where you file, the materials sent to the lockbox in Chicago are sent to the National Benefits Center in Missouri. All the initial pre-interview processing of I485 is done at the NBC. The receipts say MSCxxxxxxxxxx because that was the old Missouri Service Center (MSC) which became the new National Benefit Center in 2003... see this:

and this:

I noticed one of these pages has this customer service number for the NBC 800 375 5283. Please call them and let us know what happened.

I hope every thing works out for you and things get moving with your case. It's still early in the process so don't get too worried. God bless!

We decided to visit the ASC ahead of schedule and see if they would let us get the biometrics... so we stopped by yesterday and... got it done! we went around 3pm (they close at 4pm) and there was hardly anybody there... with that, here is our updated timeline:

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.
 
I called the 800 number and was told to wait at least 30 days from the date I received the NOA. Well I got mine on the 13 so I got a dozen more days to go...........
 
Hello everyone,

I have sent my documents to USCIS at chicago lockbox on 8/23. The packet is received on 8/25. Until now, I didn't get any notice from USCIS nor the check cashed. Should I call the USCIS or any advice.

Thanks

Absolutely NOT!!! You have no need to call USCIS, but in the case that you called them, what would you ask them? Hmmmmm...you received my application on 8/25 and you haven't cashed my check? Thinking should be your priority right now...lol!!! You are too anxious and you should look at tracking threads and see the average time it takes to hear from USCIS. However, if you still want to call USCIS, please go ahead and let us know what is the outcome of your phone conversation. If you lack patience, I recommend carrot juice and kosher beef, answer to a higher authority...lol!!! Your case is within the normal processing time, and be glad you applied this time. In the past, it took weeks to hear from USCIS...

Any Update/s ?????????????????????????????????
 
Im a little delayed on the thread, as well as a new user. Heres my timeline

8/15/2010 ---> Day 1 => Mailed I-130/I-485 to Chicago lockbox
8/18/2010 ---> Day 3 => Package received by USCIS Chicago
8/31/2010 ---> Day 16 => Received notices of action (receipts) in the mail

As far as I've been reading, and researching the time-line falls in a normal average with other applicants. However I've been researching and found something about "MSC" receipts that i cant seem to find more information about, im just looking for some clarification. Is it a problem that it went to the Missouri Center instead of anywhere else?, If the MSC=NBC what does that mean for my case?. Lastly, I've tried checking the status online under the USCIS website and it presents the receipts as "Invalid". Any wisdom would be greatly appreciated, please take into note ive been researching and found no answers to these questions, thus the reason im bothering you guys :).

Thanks again.

No bother my dear friend, we are all here to help each other. Lee's Summit, Mo is where all the applications end up at, so don't worry. A place called National Benefits center is where you application is being processed. Now about the receipts, are you entering the entire thing including MSC. Now if you are, are both the application not showing? Give it till the end of Friday and I am SURE the receipt numbers will show, if not I will tell you what you need to do next.

Welcome & Good Luck!
