NIW06, thanks for your comment but what i wanted to know is if you still have to take another medical form and ect to your interview despite the fact that you have submitted one.

unless your medical was over a year ago, you don't need to do another and take it. (the only time i have heard of medicals being needed is when they come in on K1 and it runs out before interview, and that seems to depend on the IO as well. (source various posts on the march forum at another site.) Everything you sent to chicago lockbox will be transfered the office that adjudicates it.

I concur. :)
 
Congrats to you all, this is by far, the most blessed group. I hope all our applications would go through, just like those before us.

Have a wonderful day, and God Bless us all

Can you guys imagine this USCIS ppl and and the postal service, i got an email that said my EAD card was undeliverable, to the same address they have been using to send me all sorts of stuff. What a day apparently they have no clue where i am so i have to call them on monday to see when they will return the card or else they destroy it. Did anyone have to sign for there card because i have no clue why this happened, or maybe it is coming from a diffrent department and they have my address wrong. i am seriously trying not to scream here.
 
That just sounds like an out of luck situation, but I very much understand the frustration. Hope everything will work out for you:eek:

And btw, I didn't need to sign anything when they delivered it to me. It was just in the mailbox.
 
spreadsheet updated!

Also good luck to ymathew and drkunaltank, who both have their interviews coming up in the next 7 days.
 
Any March filers that are going through the National Benefit Center?

I got my biometrics taken on April 28th and we are still waiting for the interview notice.

I see that people got the interview notices quite early at other centers. Why does my center have to be the slowest? :(

I am going to start another school this September. Will I have time to apply for a student loan? They don't give me a loan with my current status.

Also the website egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/ptimes.jsp does not tell any processing time for I-485 applications at National Benefit Center. Is my application supposed to be there?

Denuccci: How stupid!! Undeliverable?? That's ridiculous. Sounds like a problem with the post office. Was the notice from them or USCIS?
I got mine in the mail on Monday already.

I am going through the NBC as well. Most people are.
If your case goes smoothly you should be sorted by September. Watch the April and May filers threads and timelines.

Don't rely on CRIS. They don't always update their online system.
Be patient and wait for letters in the mail.

Thanks! I am a March filer myself. Check "About Me" in my profile for my signature, which has my dates. Your dates are almost identical to mine (give or take 1-2 weeks at each step). :)

Please let us know when you get the interview notice.

I have no idea why my signature does not show up under my post.

Edit: OK, now my signature is there
 
ogetbilo, the NBC tends to only deal with the first phase of AOS, and then will either send your file to your local district office, or if they feel you can be approved without interview to CSC. For an idea of finding out how long it will take pull up you local offices processing times from USCIS website, as were you live ultimitley effects the progress of your application.

I have also added you to the march filers spreadsheet, the link is in my signature.
