Any February 2011 I-130/I-485 filer yet?. . .let's track progress.

Quick question: I filed my I-130 and it's been approved. My PD is 2009. Can I file the I-485 now or do I have to wait till my date is current? Wasn't sure if those of you filing both were already current. Thanks!
 
Meanwhile, does anyone know when the case will be available online? People share different experiences on that and I am still not able to view it online.

I think you should be able to view your application online after you recieve your reciept number in the mail. The MSC number is what you use to view your case online and going by your timeline you posted up there, i believe you must have recieved it. Ofcourse poeple share different experience on it but the bottomline is that the online update cannot be really trusted or relied on. So as long as you dont have any problem or bump along the way, then you should be fine. And may be it will show up after your biometric. . .

N.B: can you try and put your timeline in your signature for easy comparison of timelines. Thank you!

Welcome to the thread Ctraquair. My progress has been updated in my signature so, mathematically, i think you and those who had their package delivered on the 4th should recieve the same message tomorrow. But since you said you didnt file form G-1145 along with your package, i guess you have to wait until they send it to you in the mail. Goodluck!
 
Welcome on board induz! A lot of people have had a success about biometric walk-in, so i think you should give it a try too. although i dont know if that will speed up the process or not but it will definitely not slow it down. Regarding the ASC in indianapolice, i think the best thing to do is to be well prepared regardless of where you are. Talk about preparing for the worse and hoping for the best. Goodluck and God bless!

Immi, did your check(s) get cashed? I didn't send the add'l form for e-notification, but my check still hasn't been cashed... Starting to worry.

I havent recieve any updates regarding checks yet. However, i have seen a timeline where the person recieved the text update of reciept numbers on the same day his/her check get cashed. So it might have been cashed but have not send the updates yet. Regarding your chechs, what is your latest updates right now?

Immi, I know about the online tracking, but I don't have the NOA yet. And since my check isn't cashed, I'm thinking there's something they don't like about my application... That's why I'm concerned.

You dont have to be concerned. Because they havent cash your check yet doesnt mean there is something they dont like about your application. I think checks get cashed faster by USCIS when you send money order or something like that than sending your bank accout check. However am positive they should cash it before this week runs out.

keeping faith is the best! We all know how this process is nerve wrecking especially when you are filing without a lawyer so it is best to be calm and not be affected by all the drama surrounding the process.
 
Congrats janedoh. I recieved the same message yesterday and case- initial review - didnt show up online until today.

But I sent another one last saturday 02/05/2011. I also fill out the G-1145 form but still didnt receive anthing yet...I'm so stress and scare since i already made a mistake the first time.....

How long is it take before they cash my check???
