Hi Kacy,
It took my around 15 minutes with filling up the application, taking photos and fingerprinting. I went at 3PM and there was no one in the waiting room so everything went smooth. You should definitely go on Monday. Good luck

Congratulations Andypaul!
Our DO/ASC are the same and as far as I can tell you from my experience, Dallas seems to be super busy.
Keep an eye on my timeline as you will have an approx idea of how your case will proceed, also do not loose hope at any time
All the best!

It has been a while since I posted so I thought I would give an update:
ASC: Alexandria, VA
DO: Fairfax, VA
(Day 0) 03/16 - Sent to Chicago lockbox @ 12:42 via FedEX priority overnight
(Day 1) 03/17 - Delivered & signed @ 09:21 by J.CHYBA
(Day 5) 03/21 - USCIS acceptance confirmation @ 16:06 via email and SMS
(Day 12) 03/28 - USCIS sends notice of Request for Evidence @ 20:00 via email and SMS
(Day 19) 04/04 - Request for Evidence Letter Received via USPS
(Day 26) 04/11 -Sent Response to Request for Evidence to U.S. Department of Homeland Security via USPS Express Mail
(Day 26) 04/12 -USPS leaves Notice of Delivery with U.S. Department of homeland Security, no authorized recipient available.
So the request for evidence They sent requested supporting docs (W-2, 1099, etc) for the last tax year, something I forgot to include in the original application. When I sent the application off Imy wife and I had not yet filed our 2010 taxes, but by the time the request for evidence came through we had so I sent in my 2009 taxes along with W-2 and our 2010 taxes along with all supporting docs.
In addition to the Tax info the request for evidence listed a signed I-693. This particularly frustrated me because of all the trouble we had with our civil surgeon I trusted they had at least signed the form, but going back and looking sure enough the signature field was blank. I had to call them up, get a new form done and signed and schedule for pick up on Saturday as that is the only day my wife was available to sign the form at pick up. Even though I contacted the doctor's office on Tuesday I had difficulty getting the forms on Saturday. It is all done now and the documents have been returned to U.S. Department of Homeland Security along with the request for evidence. Hopefully everything moves smoothly now.

Quick Question about Biometrics. Do yu need to wait until you receive your biometrics appointment letter to do a walk in appointment or can you do a walk-in using your receipt number?
The reason I ask is that my wife will be out of school next week for spring break, she is a teacher, and that would be the idea time for us to get the biometrics done, but she has not received her letter yet. With any luck it will come this week or very early next week, but with the request for evidence I do not know what will happen.
Any advice will be appreciated.

Update:
We were able to do walk-in biometrics today. We drove 3 hours to the application support center and did the biometrics (finger printing and photograph). Our original appointment date is not for another 3 weeks, but we went there and was lucky enough to get it done.

You have to wait until you receive the appointment notice before you can try to do a walk-in. They will not allow you until you have the appointment letter with you.
Hi folks, I am on day 26 of absolutely no notification from USCIS, no checks cleared, nothing returned. They refuse to give me more information till I hit the 30 day mark. Is anyone in the same situation? Look at my signature for dates. I am very concerned because I am have to travel out of the country in about 50 days. Taking hope from Andypaul's case! Any idea how long the I-131 processing takes? Thanks.
Hi heavymen,
I'm curious about your status update. I also sent my package almost 2 weeks ago (signed by the same person that signed yours) and haven't received any emails yet.
Forms: i485, i-130, 1-864 together with i-131 and i-765
(Day 0) 2011 March 30: Package sent by Fedex overnight to Chicago location
(Day 1) 2011 March 31st: Package received and signed by S. BUSH
(Day 14) nothing yet....

Hi atomant,
What exactly are you curious about? Have you received your NOAs in the mail yet? I received the texts message within 5 days and NOAs in the mail on the 10th day.
Hi heavymen,
Thank you for your response
Well, I haven't received any NOA, emails, text messages, checks still not cashed... So I was just wondering what could be happening... If maybe the person that handled the package had something to do with the delay, or if it was just an indication that it could be something wrong with my application. I didn't see that your case was moving really fast before I posted the original message... sorry about that

Hi,
I am sorry to hear that you haven't received anything yet... Sometimes the papers get misplaced and then it takes even longer.
Also some ASC are busier than the other so you just have to be patient.
I think it has nothing to do who signs the package. I also need to go abroad in 50 days so I know this feeling.
I can give you one advice many time posted already but it works... Be patient.... stop thinking about it and just relax if they will not send you NOA within 2 weeks call them and then your process will be very quickly updated.
I wish you luck

Hey everyone,
I read thru and noticed some members are worried about not getting any news on their applications.
There are two scenarios here to keep in mind, one that the lock box you sent it to has an overload of cases or your ASC is super busy.
Read thru the Feb filers post, some members got their notifications in less than 2 weeks and the rest of their case continued in that flow while some of us waited for notifications for over 3-4 weeks.
Don't loose heart and if you sent your papers and have crossed the 30 day mark, call the NCSC and see what they have to say about it.
Till date if I call the NCSC they always transfer my call to a "specialist" because at level I they can not locate my receipt numbers, imagine being told at 40 days that we do not see any other application in your name other than your I-130...scared the crap out of me but eventually it all got sorted out
this process can be pretty nerve wrecking but hold your heads high and we are always here to assist!
One request, kindly update your Do/ASC in your signatures so those helping can at least know which location you are from and maybe give you a clearer perspective/response if that certain ASC/DO has been busy and slow on cases.
All the best!!!!!
