Does uscis process AOS according to selection number or date of reciept? I mailed my packet on Aug 20 and still no receipt.
If that is the case, then what explains why some applications filed later than mine have already gotten receipts. Is the process random?Date of receipt. They deal with a lot more AoS cases than DV cases, so processing by selection number would not be practical/sensible.

I am in the process of competing the DS-260 and would like assistance on the question of the last 5 visits to the US. I have been studying in the US for a number of years with a recent trip out of the US where I returned on July 24. If I list this as my last "visit" to the US I also need to enter the length of stay and a specific period must be selected from the drop-down menu. But I am still in the US so that stating a specific length of stay seems to be inappropriate. As it is a current and still on-going "visit" should I list it at all? If I must list it, how do I stipulate a length of stay? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Hello all

Hi
I got two like what I posted and two like you posted (2 adults 2 kids)
I believe the one I posted its for the kids as they don't need to do finger print
Kids do not do finger prints, but they still need to attend bio appointment to get their pictures taken.
Kids don't get a full set of fingerprints but they do capture their index fingerprint, at least this was the case with my 8 and 11 year old when we got ours done on 9/8 at USCIS in Manchester, NH. They were also asked to sign their name, the 11 year old can almost sign his name using running writing the 8 year old printed his name neatly as he isn't quite able to do running writing. (Paperwork was marked code 2) I get the index fingerprint as I believe it goes on your green card and seems to be used when entering the US but sort of surprised at the request to sign their name given their age.
What in the world is happening to my application??? Tomorrow will be 30 days and no receipt. I checked the spreadsheet (thanks to sm1smom) for previous AOS applications for guidance, and it looks like I am the outlier. This application is making me anxious and really testing my patience.
I used priority mail (USPS) and got confirmation of delivery on August 22t . Yes, I followed every letter of Mom's instructions.OK - yes, 30 days is too long. Are you sure the paperwork was delivered - which address did you use and what delivery method? Did you compile the case according to Mom's instructions?

I think you will hear back very shortly…it seems like they worked backwards…processing the latest they received and then moving on to the older ones…I say give it another week, I'd be surprised if you don't hear back by then.
