Biometrics notice finally! It's sooo far away though. I called USCIS customer svc. and asked if I could do a walk in - they said they stopped doing walkins there, even on Wednesdays.

I'm gonna try anyway. What is the best time to try, in the morning or afternoon?

FYI: I used the A# on the OPT (like my lawyer told me to) and they have assigned me a different one now too. It's fine.

Sometimes you can not trust the USCIS officers behind that phone. When i went for my FP, i told the security man that i was not gonna be around on my scheduled date and that i wanted to try and do a walk-in. The security man told me they do actually allow walk-ins on wednessday but not in my case (my appt. date was like 3 weeks away). He said walk-in is for those who missed their appointment date but because i went there like 2pm wednessday afternoon, when they are less busy, he said i should go and talk to a lady (like a receptionist) and see if she allow me. When i got to the lady, explained to her, she told me the same thing the security had already said. Then she looked around to see if there were many people on the wait but when she realized they only have like 16 people on the wait, she OKed me. And that was it! So advise to give it a try and at a majestic time. Goodluck!

I received the NOAs in the mail today. I actually noticed that the A# assigned to me is different from the one that was assigned to me on my OPT EAD that I had last year. I was a little worried about this but I found out that its not a big deal. So hopefully I will get the biometrics letter sometime this week.

The next step is for the Biometrics(Fingerprinting). You should get this in less than a week. You can also use the receipt #s that you received to go to the USCIS website to "Check my case status". This is not always accurate but you can check it out. It should be saying initial review. Don't get too anxious about this process. We are all in it together, you are not alone.

Thanks immireseach. It seems like I am always harping about the timelines and DO/ASC in the signatures.

Thomkip - Are you able to view your's online? Mine is not. My receipt number starts with MSC. I called up the customer care today and spoke to an officers to whom I was directed to by a customer care rep. He informed me that this case can never be tracked online and said I have nothing to worry about and just wait for the interview letter.
For more than anything, I needed it online so that I can do my address change through the website, but seems like I will need to send in the physical form now when I move next month.
 
HAPPY WEDNESDAY EVERYONE!
I am getting more worried by the day...Im reading everyone's progress and it seems that mine is a little behind...did you guys include ur email address somewhere on the form? how did they get it to send the emails...and do they send the sms to the phone# thats on the form?? Also, I got my MO from the post office does that matter, was i suppose to get it from a bank?
 
hi,2 questions:
1.when sending with usps express mail is it better to have them sign for or just check the box so the mail man to have it drop it without a sign?
2.the finger print test,will this must be done within the city from your original address on the application ? as my son is gone for few months in a different state.

thank you for any advice.


working on:
-I485 I765 G325A I864 I693 G-1145
will send all this papers within few days to uscis
based on a approved i130 family/son over 21 unmarried.

I can view my case online. My receipt #s also start with MSC (MSC119xxxxxxx). MSC stands for Missouri Service Center which is also NBC(National Benefits Center). It says "Initial review" on all the receipt #s. This online update is not very trustworthy though. It can stay on initial review until the whole process is adjudicated.
If you are moving in the next month, the best option is to call the 800 # and inform them of your address, otherwise it might slow down the process. I dont think you can mail the change of address form because you are not a LPR yet. I remember when I read the instructions, it said that if you move during AOS, you should call the #. Please, double check on this.
