I guess you could try early walk-in as long as you have a valid reason. It seemed that the early walk-in and on-time appointment does not have that much big difference in speeding up the processing.
May 2009 AOS filers
- Thread starter second stage
- Start date
It's been almost 2 weeks since my package was delivered but I have nothing to show for it. Checks have not been cashed and no NOA.
Looking at a few NYC filers, it looks like i should get something by this weekend.
Does anyone know if there exists some case where they receive the NOA before the checks are cashed?

Sometimes checks can take upto 30 days to post but you will not be receiving NOA without your checks being cashed. If its been more than 30 days then make an Infopass(just to be sure your package isn't lost somehow).
Did you send a personal check? certified check?

I think you should get it within the next 1-2 weeks.
You can start job search now but make it clear you'll present the EAD or start work with the EAD once they make an offer.
Of course, I used personal checks for all my dealing with uscis for tracking purpose.
Here is my USPS tracking info
Your item was delivered at 2:00 PM on May 29, 2009 in CHICAGO, IL 60680 to INS 805887 . The item was signed for by R MERCADO.
Now, I can call 1800 and ask for second level IO but without any number, would they be able to track it?
Also, look at the timeline of I-130 I filed for my brother.
How does the 485/130 package is processed after the lockbox? From my reading, they will be done national level so local DO does not play into this picture at all. That means busy DO like NYC (lucky me) isn't a factor in how fast from RD to NOA.

You should probably call but am not sure if the second level IO would help.
Did you call up your bank(or the automated line) and ask them if the check got cleared and somehow it didn't post to your account online(can take upto 5 days at times)?

Hi Braider, I would suggest you to call your bank and see whether they could pull out any information for you.
Both checks showed up as cashed in my online account today. They were cashed as 6/11. It's a full 2 weeks from receipt to cashed. I hope to receive NOA in a few days.

Guys i would like your opinion. I sent my I-485 based on pending I-130, so i also included a copy of pending I-130. Recently it got approved, so i am wondering if i should send a copy of approval notice with a copy of NOA for I-485, or uscis will connect that without me doing anything?
Thanks!!
Thanks!!

USCIS should make the connection. However, it doesn't hurt to include your I-485 NOA(copy) with the I-130 approval copy and write up a small cover letter.

I checked online and USCIS said that they already received the documents I submitted for the RFE for my I-485 last June 11, 2009. How long do you think it will take for them to once again process the case together with the I-765?
Also - I recently moved but have informed USCIS online and through Form AR-11 of my change of address. Do you guys think that would affect my case processing time?

The process should start again soon..maybe a week or so delayed.
The address change may affect the processing time. just make sure you check the mail at the previous address for couple more weeks.

Why were you denied? Did you have a valid reason to do early walk-in?
