I edited your post by removing the website info because it is not the official government website which is were we should be directing people to if they exist.
Hi Mom,
I received response from the expedite request which says my case doesn't meet the requirements. I chose "USCIS Error" as the reason for requesting the expedition, since this seem the only option applying to my case. The response also mentions that my case is in National Benefit Center and not in field office. It also says the case will go with normal processing and interview letter will be sent when its ready. This confuses me because during my last Infopass visit the officer said my case is in the field offie and is awaiting to be scheduled for an interview. I tried to go with expedite request before congressional inquiry, but it did not help. I am in a very confused state and not sure what further steps should I take. Do you have any suggestions?

Hi Mom,
I asked question yesterday about I-94.
There’s no record for my admission while I been inspected by officer in the airport.
Now my number is current by may and have to submit my AOS, but I don’t know what have to do that without I-94 because I am worry to deny my application.
Knowing that I am in asylum pending status which I applied for when my visa was still valid.
Thanks

Well if you remember my previous suggestion to you was to do a congressional inquiry but you responded and said you wanted to jump to an expedite request instead.
It’s possible your background check is still pending, even though they told you at your last INFOPASS it had cleared. Is your background or field of study TAL (Technology Alert List) related?
Do a congressional inquiry, and be prepared to go on regular INFOPASS to follow up with your FO in person if the congressional inquiry doesn’t return with any good news.

Yes I have that stamp in my passport, but when I walked to the custom and border protection in the airport they said:we can’t help you to get your record because you are out of status!!

CBP’s response to you is correct. As far as they’re concerned, you’re out of status based on the information they have about you. They gave you a period of authorized which has since expired and you’re still in the country. They have no way of knowing you have a timely filed asylum petition or that you even have an asylum petition in the system. They have no access to that information.
Yeah, I should have gone for congressional inquiry. I see someone getting expedited, so enticed to go for expedite before congressional inquirey.
I am computer engineer, but I did my masters and most of my job in USA, but I don't think it is sensitive to be on TAL.
This is so frustrating to not hear for so long.
I will go for congressional inquiry, and subsequently keep going on Info pass.

Hi mom and everyone,,
I recieved this email from USCIS
“
Your Case Status: Initial Review
Your interview for your Form I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR ADJUST STATUS, Receipt Number ##########was completed, and your case must be reviewed. We will mail you a notice if we make a decision or take further action.
During this step, USCIS initiates the background checks of the applicant/petitioner and identifies issues that may need to be addressed either during an interview or by asking the applicant/petitioner to submit additional information or documentation. USCIS reviews the applicant's/petitioner's criminal history, determines if there are national security concerns that need to be addressed, and reviews the application/petition for fraud indicators. If you have filed an I-485, I-589, I-751, N-400, I-90, I-821, I-131 or I-765, you can expect to receive an appointment notice to appear at an Application Support Center to have your fingerprints and/or photographs taken. The timing of your appointment is determined by the number of applicants ahead of you that also need a biometric appointment. We try to schedule biometric appointments as quickly as possible and in most cases you will receive your appointment notice within 30 days of submitting your application. We will send your appointment notice approximately 14 days ahead of your scheduled appointment. It is important that you keep this appointment. If absolutely necessary, you can request that your appointment be rescheduled however, please be aware that rescheduling may delay the processing of your application. Please follow the instructions on your appointment notice if you need to reschedule. Occasionally, you may receive an appointment notice to appear at an Application Support Center to have your fingerprints taken when you have filed a form other than those listed above. In these situations, you may receive your appointment notice more than 30 days after submitting your application or petition. “
Is this normal ? Have you ever seen applicant received such an email ?

Yes, it isn’t an unusual update.
Dear Sm1smom / other Members,
My Number is becoming current this May and I am moving this month (within the same State, just to a different City) as well. Should I update my DS-260? If yes, how do I go about doing this? And I haven't filed the Form I-485 (waiting for May 1st to come), and so in this case, I'll just put the New Address on Form I-485?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Thanks, Sm1smom! You're helpful as always!
Hi Mom,
I received my text/email receipt notification on the 8th of March, and the letter in the mail a couple of days after that. It has now been over 30 days and I am still yet to receive the biometrics letter, is this still within the usual timeframe?
After looking through the spreadsheet its seems as though most people receive it within 7-16 days. I'm based in NYC and the few other people this year have both got it around the 14 day mark.
My USCIS status still says "we received your biometrics fee and are reviewing your case". Does this get updated once the letter is sent out?
Thanks,
Aaron
