DV 2020 AOS Only

Hi mom and everyone,

I just want to know if someone's interview, Biometrics or any other appointments that required to show up physically gets scheduled or re-scheduled after their reopening on June 4th. Only thing I need to do in the process is an interview. But after my Biometrics on December, the case status hasn't shown any updates. I know this year has been very irregular. But is there any way to expedite my case or contact USCIS other than checking case status on online? Please advise. Thanks.
Same for me. You can ask about your case on the uscis account or contact your congressman
 
Late last night I have received SMS from USCIS: Your case was received with receipt number. This morning I see that Mi check was cashed as well. SMS also says that Official Receipt Notice will follow in mail.
Also, when I check status of the case it says:
Fingerprint Fee Was Received
On June 12, 2020, we accepted the fingerprint fee for your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, Receipt Number XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX. Our National Benefits Center location is working on your case. We mailed you a notice describing how we will process your case. Please follow the instructions in the notice. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

Unfortunately, my AOS package was rejected and it will return to me. I got the receipt numbers for me and wife and checked the reason of rejection.
It showed I-485 document not signed and the form was no longer valid. I did check all the scanned images of the Package, but it all look good. I have to wait for the returned package.

Sorry to hear that. Check the edition, it should be 10/15/19 and Check the Expire date on top right it should be 10/31/20

When did you send your package and hear back the result?
 
Thanks. I did the edition and expiration date, which are correct. We also signed at applicant section.
We put N/A for preparer and translate section, but didn’t put N/A for preparer and translater’s signature section. I had my friend to translate the support my birth certificate and included the translation certificate, but I didn’t include translators information for I-485, I-949, I-765 and I-131, since the translater didn’t translate the forms for me.
I-765’s expiration is 5/31/2020, but this is the latest document on USCIS website. now I have to wait for package return, but USCIS has no tracking information. I will share my information to help other applicants to avoid future issues.
 
My package was delivered on 6/2. I found other applicants on this forum received the text message for acceptance, but I didn’t. I called USCIS this morning and the agent told me the receipt number and found the rejection notice on the website. The notice was 6/8 by the way.

I didn't put N/A for the whole section on preparer and translator.
Probably the I-765 might be the problem. Not sure though.

Before you further mess up your case, translator information is not required on the I-485 and all the other forms in the package if no translator was used in filling those forms. The section should be completely blank in that case. Wait until you get back the actual package to figure out the reason for the rejection.

Hi @Sm1smom
On my forms i-485 and i-944, I have also put n/a on the parts of translator and lawyers, but I have received my case number and waiting for my notice now. Should I worry that down the road can cause any problems?
 
Thanks, Mom. I will make sure to leave blank for translator section of the form.

I have three quick questions.
1) My wife filled out the form by herself, but we helped the filing the document to file folder, index tab etc. I did answer to her questions when filling out. In the case, do I need to include my information as preparer?
2) Rejection notice I-485 form and sign issue. Does USCIS review other documents as well? If so, my issue is related to I-485.
3) Will USCIS return the package with USPS? (I have to wait a few weeks?)

Just wait for the package first like I already said before trying to figure out what the issue is. Yes, it should be coming back via USPS.
 
Hi! My check was cashed on June 8th but haven’t received yet any mail or text message. Should I call USCIS or wait a few more days. My case was accepted on May 28th.
 
No I didn’t, because my uncle did it for me with his personal check.
G-1145 is the form for e-Notification of Application/Petition Acceptance. It's not the credit card one :)
If you didn't file it, then you will have to wait for an actual notice of action your mail I think.
If you filed it, then you should receive SMS or email, although I think some users reported lately that they haven't been notified by this means of communication and that they have received notice of action in their mail.
 
Good afternoon @Sm1smom
Since I responded to the RFE, I have not hear from my field office. Do you think it will be helpful use the tool "Case outside normal processing time"? Or it is better not pushing them?
