What the clerk said about fingerprints is false. They just dont want everyone to show up. I wish i had done walk in. The day after you do a walkin there is usally a touch on your file. If you can do try to walk in. It will speed up ur process.
As for an rfe slowing doown your process to get EAD. Not true. I was one of the first to get EAD in dec filers and i had an RFE. My Rfe response was 22 days because it came from overseas (Indian birth certificate). I got EAD at 50 day mark. But it did delay my IL by about 3 weeks. I will be doing interview at 101 day mark.

Just a small update. Today I've done my FP. And tomorrow I will sent my I-693. Everything got stopped because I was sick with flu more than 2 weeks...
 
i did my biometrics today,it took like 5mins!! the lady said i would be getting my work permit in 1-3months,shes crazy,it aint gona take that long,lol,hopefully,lol.
 
Great!! Looks like everyone almost fall into the "waiting game" after FP now.. all the best!!

Yeah seems like most ppl are getting along quite smoothly! Will be checking post box and online status all the time now to get out of this "initial review" stage.
 
Just quick query, I read about peoples docs being "touched" and these updates come via email and/or sms txt message. I've registered my account with USCIS with my correct email address and opted for email updates but only once have I received any updates and that was the initial AOS for my docs. Should I be concerned that im not getting any touched updates?? Has many people been getting these "touched" updates via email or lack of them?
Many Thanks,

I'm in the same boat. I did received only the initial emails and smses and that's about it. I had my FP on Feb 16th and nothing has change since then. However when I look up my I-485 and I-765 last updated date it shows Feb 17th, so just one day after I took FP. Nonetheless the cases descriptions didn't change. Hopefully everything is OK.
 
Hi,

I have created a new thread for this question here.

I filed AOS in January 2010 and I'm already done with FP but recently I received a letter from NVC asking for fees to proceed with an approved I-130 in 2009. The letter was mailed in December 2009 from NVC to a lawyer who helped me with I-130 but she didn't contacted me until a few days ago. Anyways I got confused because I filed the AOS forms along with a copy of I-130 approval.

The lawyer said that I should contact NVC and tell them that I submitted AOS from within US. She didn't want to do it because I filed AOS in January on my own. So I did contacted NVC by emailing them (their preferred contact method) but I didn't received any email back from them.

What bothers me is that the lawyer first said that it would delay my AOS process but then that it would not. Also the letter from NVC says that "If it is the applicant’s intention to adjust status with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), please contact the National Visa Center before taking further action or making any payments".

Unfortunately I filed AOS along with fees before contacting them.

Do you think that it may delay my AOS process or worse because I didn't contacted NVC before filling AOS? If yes, what should I do to fix it?

Thank you all in advance for you help
 
Just patiently waiting for the EAD with anticipation as i hit the 50 day mark today. I figured they hardly update the USIC site on time as the progress of the application.

Hi Guys,

Since my biometricc on Feb 18th, there was no action on my file! I called the FBI, the fingerprints were received, cleared and sent to USCIS on the day I took them. I am beginning to get worried! I am wondering if I should ask for an infopass. Please, advice...

Hi,

I think that we have to more patient and wait for IL and EDAs. I have a feeling that we'll all get it within 3 weeks or so. From what I notices in prior month threads is that IL is sent usually between 2 and 4 week after FP. Let's wait and pray.
 
Thanks chicagomixed...I guess I got too anxious because I did not see my files "touched".
 
I think infopass will do it. I will wait till friday and go ahead with it too
