I-485 February 2010 filers

Updating my Timeline..Let's see if this walk-in speeds things up.

02/08/10 - Applied
02/16/10 - Received Text & Email Conf from USCIS
02/18/10 - Checks Cashed
02/20/10 - Received 4 NOAs
02/25/10 - Received Bio Appointment letter for 03/12
03/04/10 - Fingerprinting Done (Walk-in)
 
Do you have an observation on how long it takes to get the interview letter after the fingerprinting notice? I've been seeing cases where it took only a few weeks.

I think we'll end up getting the interview letter before the end of March - so within the next 25 days hopefully. Fingers crossed.

BTW - did they give you any trouble for the walk-in fingerprinting? I know you were concerned that they'll send you back.

I'm also thinking the ILs should arrive within the next 2-3 weeks.

There were no problems at all with the walk-in fingerprinting. No questions asked:) I'm glad I heeded your advice and gave it a try.
 
Day 1: 02/10/10 - mailed GC app -- I485, I131, I765, I130
Day 2: 02/11/10 - arrived in Chicago
Day 9: 02/19/10 - Checks encashed
Day 12: 02/22/10 - Received 4 NOA's
Day 31: 3/12/10 - FP appt done.
 
I have an interview coming up in two weeks and there has been a job switch with my spouse. At the new job hes a part time employee and i am worried the last two pay stubs will hurt the GC decisions since it might be too low. Any idea what we should do, pls advise me.

Interview Letter Receipt Timeline after FP

Hi All,

Any ideas on when to expect IL - here are the AOS details.

DO: Boston, MA (not sure if we fall under Lawrence DO for interview)
02/02/2010 - Package sent
02/03/2010 - Package received
02/26/2010 - FP complete (as scheduled)
03/01/2010 - LUD (485,765) online

Do we receive an email alert when the IL is sent? Should I wait another week or so before calling USCIS?

Thanks in advance.

We received our interview letter about three weeks after my wife went for her FP appointment. Based on your timeline, I would recommend waiting till about March 29th before calling them to see what is going on. The issue is even if your file is complete and NBC is ready to move it to the interview phase they have to wait for a time to be available at your local district office. The interview ill be about a month after you receive the notice in the mail. Oh, we never received an email that the case was scheduled for an interview, the letter just came in the mail. The scheduled for interview phase on the case status system is used for naturalization cases.

Hi,

You mentioned LUD online for 485, 765. What is that? What does it stand for?

Thanks,

Hi everyone,

Its been about a week since my finger print (12th of March, on appointment), but I dont see a change in status online on uscis.gov. Does anyone see a change in their status online?

I have another question, while waiting for something to come from uscis, we are semi preparing for the interview. Now, we did court marriage in Sept to begin the gc process, but we have the official traditional wedding in May. Now for proof of our marriage being legitimate, we were thinking of submitting contracts and paperwork of our official wedding in May on the interview day. But on second thought, I wonder if that would hurt our case. Any suggestions?

Hey all!
I'm new around here,and i have a question.
I am noticing that everyone in this thread has recieved notice of receipt of their application within two weeks' time of sending their papers off.
I handed everything over to my lawyer on 12-13-10,but i have yet to hear anything from Immigration as yet.
I have checked the status of my money orders,and they have not been cashed as yet.
Has anyone ever heard of the initial processing time taking so long?
I can't lie,I am beginning to get worried.:confused:

I would advise you to contact your lawyer to check the status of your case. If your lawyer is unable to assist you then contact 800 customer service to see if you have a A# and see if you are in their system.
