*Interview and Case Update*

Hi All!

I had my interview yesterday 05/27/2021 at Kansas City. The weather was a little crazy in the morning, yet I was able to make it through. The interview lasted for around 30 mins and was basically about all the yes/no questions and identity verification questions such as name, parents name, previous address lived, work, and school from my form I-485. There were NO questions from forms I-134 and I-944. The IO did not ask for any original documents other than my passport, driver's license, and current enrollment verification. In the end, he said that my case needs further revision to adjudicate then he took me to the ASC to do biometrics although it was scheduled for 06/07/2021. It was a total of an hour in and out from the building.

That evening my case status updated to “Fingerprints are taken” and this afternoon it was updated to “New Card Being Produced” which essentially should mean that my case was approved, and I should be receiving my green card soon.

While the IO was escorting me to his office from the waiting lobby, he emphasized the letter that I sent him regarding the delay in my biometrics due to which he said he requested a biometrics service appointment for my case.

Words cannot describe how grateful I am to this forum and all the members who have been contributing here. A special thank you from the bottom of my heart to Mom for tirelessly helping me clear my queries. You are truly making a positive difference in people’s life. To all the fellow AOSers, I wish you all the best and success with your DV case.

Thanks!

It certaintly should be ..my case was at MN FO ..the ASC was about 7 miles away from the FO

i think in general there are more ASCs than FOs, certainly that’s the case for the Bay Area - there is one very near the FO but there are a few others around too. Based on your address one might normally be in one ASC, but for this kind of thing it’s quite possible the interviewing officer will get you the bio done at the ASC at or near the FO if they want to do it same day/while you’re there.
 
Hi, Mom. I hope you're doing well. I received my GC last week and my I-131 and 1-765 applications have not been closed yet. One just says "Case Received" and the other that fingerprints were taken. Do I have to do something or will USCIS close the applications at some point?

USCIS will go ahead and close those on their own. The AP/EAD card is no longer valid for you, once the NBC realize your AOS has been approved by your FO, they will close those pending applications. You don’t have to do anything.
 
I am ready to send my package on Tuesday (June 1). Thanks a lot for all your help. As the last question, I want to confirm that I have the correct address for FEDEX. Is this the correct address?

I commend the effort you put into preparing this list and your attempt at trying to neatly lay out your documents to make cross referencing easy for the IO. The truth is, the cover letter will not make it to your assigned FO, the IO that will be adjudicating the AOS application will not get to see it. The Chicago Lockbox does not scan the cover letter, they tend to shred it once the package gets accepted.
