I mailed it to the Chicago lockbox. I hope your application speeds up and processes as fast as mine.

Do you mind me asking, what is your status here in the US, and what Country are you from?

I am curious to know if some take less time than other, according to certain locations/status.

I am a visitor here from Canada.

You are lucky SpanishGirl the guard allowed you to have the FP in advance...i will have mine this Friday. I guess process really starts quick as soon as the FP is done. Hope ours move fast too.

I mailed ours to the Chicago lockbox too, ten days ahead of you, also forwarded to the National Benefits Center (MSC), and we did biometrics the day after we got the notice. Go figure!

I wonder if they are just shuffling them up and processing them out of order. Not that we can complain yet, since our scheduled FP date is not even for another two days, but yours went pretty dang fast. Also, what ASC did you do the FP at?

The benefit of taking FP earlier

My FP is scheduled two weeks after. I saw so many people do walk in and take FP earlier, is it going to move the case forward faster?

Thank you!
 
Travel during I-131 pending?

My grandma passed away yesterday, and I really want to go back home to attend her funeral. She raised me until I was five, and I'm very closed to her....I know she's gone already, but...I want to try my best to at least say goodbye in funeral...

My I-131 is still pending, and after reading some threads, I made an Infopass appointment for tomorrow to see if there's any possibility that I can travel by next Wednesday.

I'm just wondering...since I'm currently a student here in states, my F-1 student visa is valid until 2013, and my I-20 is still good, can I travel by using my F-1 visa?


**I got an CRIS email last night, and it said, "Current Status: Response to request for evidence received, and case processing has resumed".

Resend the package

Hi guys,
I gave USCIS a call on Monday and they said I could send the old package to them with the right amount of fees. So I did that on Monday with overnight shipping.

All I have to do now is wait. Wish me luck.

You have filed an I-485, which directly demonstrates immigrant intent, so you can't use the F-1 visa again.

Most places will allow a walk-in .. According to this thread anyways.. So I would try it if I were you.
And the proccess doesn't really start until your FP is done. . So the sooner the better.

:)

Not 100 percent certain, but someone told me that you can go to the infopass and request an advance on your advance parole. I believe it was the user JohnnyCash...
If you want a sooner answer try calling the USCIS support line.
1-800-375-5283 then #1, #2, #3.. Lols that's how you talk to an actual person, and not an annoying recorded system.

Good luck, and I am very sorry for your loss.

Good luck! Also, you should create a signature so we can see your time line on how your process is going.

Go to User CP in the top left hand corner, then go to edit signature.

sorry to hear about the delaybut I have to tell you that we mailed the application back in June and was rejected because we forgot to include the I-130 but we mailed it back in June and it was received in July but I can tell you that all the papers had a uscis date stamp on them .

:-) I didn't think there was any delay until I saw your timeline. Maybe yours went so far b/c you submitted it before.

Thanks SpanishGirl. I just update my signature. And now I am waiting, hopefully it will be smooth and faster this time.
 
Just inquired tonight online, my application for AOS was transferred to CSC on Jul 24 for processing. Application for EAD remains pending since I have yet to do my FP on Friday.

Anybody whose case was transferred also to CSC (from the July filers)?
 
When you go online, does it plainly say transfered to CSC? I did my FP yesterday, I looked online today and didn't see anything differemt.

Forgive me if I asked, what Country and what status are you?
