Hello everybody I have two questions,
1) My USCIS account still shows "Invalid date" in the case history tab in the website when I login. I thought it has something to do with them updating the website but I has been a while now. I can still track my case in https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/ tho.
2) My bio schaduled for next month and my current status is "Fingerprint Fee Was Received". Should I expect anything change in the status before I go do the fingerprints?

2) No. it should change only after your bio. Sometimes it even takes longer to update.
 
i am starting to prepare a 2nd package in case my first one is rejected. this time i plan to use a cashiers check from BoA for $1225. on the cashiers check, it currently only mentions payee as U.S. Department of Homeland Security and my full name - do I need to mention my address and something else like application number? there does not seem to be space on the check for additional fields outside of those already mentioned.

Do you mean there is no memo line on your check?

See How to write your check. No need for address, just the applicant name (and A-number if applicable). Also, say what it's for (i-485 filling and bio services fee).

PS: The link above states that "Personal checks must be pre-printed with your name and your bank’s name. Your address and phone number must be pre-printed, typed, or written in ink.", but mine did not have any of those and was cashed w/o a problem.

its not a personal check - its a cashier's check without any lines/space for me to add text - so wondering if anyone who has used a cashiers check for an accepted application did something specific to address this
 
Update: My online status changed today to "new card is being produced" after exactly one month from the interview. For the new members, I received an RFE and responded the day after the interview. Although the agent said that I will get a decision in two weeks, it actually took one month. I am extremely happy today!

I will keep you updated when I get the GC, and if I can offer some advice, it would be to make sure that your medical form is signed and the vaccination record is fully completed (all boxes are checked).

Congrats! Have the same issue w/ medical docs. Luckily the clinic reviewed and informed me. Nevertheless, I should still review it myself, again.

Best wishes!

I also used cashier's check but from Chase Bank. There was a memo section left below. So I wrote " filing fee for I-485 and bio services fee" over there with black ink.
I put my cashiers check inside a white envelope and wrote the same thing( filing fee for I-485 and bio services fee) on the envelope as well. If you want you can try that if there is no memo section on the check. ( Better to confirm from mom whether is it necessary to write this on the check)

The form I-693. The doctor in the office gave me a copy of the form they signed and willed out. That's how I knew what they wrote. However, I did not notice that the Hepatitis B vaccine was left unchecked, so that was the issue. And you are right, you send the sealed envelope and you are not allowed to open it.

Maybe we can take the state vax record. it shows all the Vax you have gotten. I will ask my CS for a copy of it. Thanks

Your CS should have given you a copy of the medical report for your personal record, and if they didn't, you should have asked for it before they sealed it. Hopefully, the form was fully completed. The IO will not accept nor review any other form medical note you take with you to the interview, outside of the I-693 filled out by your CS.
