FO is part of USCIS. The only way most folks can reach the IO is through a USCIS rep, with the exception of those who were provided with their IO's phone number or email address.

Thanks mom for the info.
Should I call USCIS for my case update since my case status is stuck in "My fingerprint fee was received"?
Or should I wait until 09/02 because that will be 2 weeks after my interview?

3. You just need to use your discretion, this is not like going in for a multiple choice exam.
4. The links were provided for that reason. Plus statements such as "only present this document ...", "draw the IO's attention to ..." (which are displayed on your above snippet) are pointers indicating one should print and take those along (as part of being prepared).

Thank you mom! I'll bring them in case, for the interview.

Didn't we already cover this a while back? Form 8843 is irrelevant, it does not and cannot replace the IRS transcript.

Sorry, my bad. My previous posts was for the AOS package. I wanted to make sure if I should bring it to the interview or not. Thank you!
 
Sm1smom said:
So that is not the same thing as can't see anything on the case. Plus the AOS Process Spreadsheet already says most will not see any case update until after case adjudication, so not seeing any update is not unusual.

Hey mom i meant my USCIS account does not show anything on my I-485 (current as of today, invalid on case history tab). Funny enough it does for I-824 which i had some typographical error corrected and it shows all that. But i usually use the regular case status online tool (not my account) and that's what says "finger print fee was received"

I also had a finger that wasn't working, but it did not cause any problems or delays. I also know someone who did a mariage based AOS and had the same situation, and in her case it wasn't a problem either. However, I don't know to what extent we can generalize what is practiced at my ASC (that person and myself had our fingerprints taken at the same location) vs others. Wish you the best anyway !

Thank you for the reply.
 
Hi, I have my interview at brooklyn FO tomorrow, however, I never received my actual IL. I only know about the appointment because USCIS emailed my congressman staffer a copy of the first page of IL G-56 call-in notice, 12 days ago. I was hoping to get the notice before the interview but it didn't happen. Can I just get in the building with the print out of the notice? Am i missing important information from the 2nd 3rd page of the notice? Thank you!
 
Hello dear mom
a small update
we have received our NOA for the second package today. and also through Emma( Tier 1) we have realized that our second package is in the field office now.

considering the rest of the time by the end of Sep, does it need to try for expedite ? or congressional inquiry?
thanks a lot

Yes, you'll be fine with the email print-out.

Which FO has jurisdiction over your case file?
 
2021Ma said:
it is on hold yet, without any letter!
in your opinion, what should we do for expediting of interview for the second package?

Both yours and your husband? On hold where? They both can’t possibly be “on hold” if one payment was cashed and the NOA for it was sent. They can’t possibly be “on hold” if you already got bio notice for both.
Anyway, you can start by trying to get a USCIS rep to follow up with your FO to find out about your interview date. Depending on the outcome, you can subsequently initiate a congressional inquiry.
 
Hi Mom and all, this might be a dumb question but I'd like to ask about new I-485.
I don’t have SSN and I’m planning to apply for it once my I-485 get approved.
I’ll have an interview this week and I was wondering if I can fill the information on new I-485 and bring it to the interview since they change the format about SSN on I-485. So I can get my SSN automatically. Do you think it would be possible?
Thank you.

You can try that and inform the IO as to why you wish to submit a new I-485. I’m not quite sure he/she will be open to the idea considering the fact that the form you sent in already got scanned into the system before your case file was forwarded to the FO/IO. But you’ve got nothing to loose by asking.

Ok, I’ll bring it and ask them. Thank you so much!
 
Hello,

My wife and me did our interviews on August 20th. It went well, the officer told us she would approve the case once she get the background check results. We had our biometrics appointment today. I am a bit worried about timelines. I am from Spain and my wife is from Russia, will our background check be completed in time? Is there something I should do during this month?
