December 17 2008: Another LUD on I-485 and I-765
January 22 2008: LUD on I-765: Card Production ordered
 
I tried to do a walk in for biometrics, very polity asked if they could take me as a walk in, because I have a previous commitment for the date/time of the appointment, commitment that I cannot rescheduled. I was told there is nothing they can do, they cannot take me, if I cannot be there at the appointment date& time, just walk in at any time AFTER (so told me a lady there) or on Wednesdays or Saturdays during business hours (so told me a gentleman there).

Mind you, at 2:30PM there was NOBODY in the center. Yet they did not take me.
 
I am sorry to hear that! they are crazy sometimes. forgive them...

Me too (Email and EAD on the same day). Our timelines are pretty close, I think you might also get your IL within a week.

Thanks,

Through checks cleared in bank and through FP notice, I know the application receipt numbers for the 4 applications, but it been more than 45 days we applied and no receipts received till date. What do you guys suggest, should we call USCIS?


I-130/I-485/I-765/I-131 - [SJC]
12/11/08: Mailed (USPS express mail)
12/12/08: Received by USCIS
12/17/08: Checks cleared
12/18/08: Cases appeared online
12/26/08: FP notice received

DO San Francisco, CA

11/06/2008 Mailed I-130/485/131/765 to Chicago Lockbox
11/09/2008 Received
11/20/2008 Check Cashed

11/28/2008 NOA
11/28/2008 Notice Date for Fingerprint Appointment
12/04/2008 Fingerprint Taken

12/23/2008 NOA (Fingerprint Re-taken Request)
(details: "FBI was unable to process your fingerprint card. In order for the USCIS to continue processing your application, it will be necessary to have your fingerprints re-taken with no additional expense to you.")

01/12/2009 Called FBI: 2nd Fingerprints were rejected again
01/13/2009 I-131 Approval notice sent & I-765 EAD Card production ordered.

01/22/2009 AP received but with an error. [Called USCIS customer services. Has to reapply ] :(
01/22/2009 I-131 resubmitted to Chicago Lockbox

01/27/2009 EAD received!
 
So this morning at 8AM I was the first fingerprinted at the application center (not the first that entered the center, but I already had the form filled so they took me first).

And, much to my surprise, I already have an LUD on I485 and I765 :) Probably they are dusting my file, in remorse for letting me wait this long:)
 
Should my wife leave the country before Interview ?

Guys,

I'm the US Citizen. I filed I-48, I-130, I-131, I765 on December 9th, 2008.

My wife plans to leave the country in the first week of March for about 4 month.

Question # 1: Will the USCIS postpone the Interview until she returns since they already know what her intentions are by looking at the I-131 application.

Question 2: If my wife is out of the country and I get an Interview letter, can I just write them back and tell them that she's outside the country now and they need to reschedule the Interview.. Or will that subject my wife to some more difficulties down the road.

Question 3: Will my wife be interviewed before March the 10th.

Question 4: Where can I get some real data about processing times (Other than the USCIS web site).

Thanks a million..

I am in the same boat. Case transfered but no FP notice. My concern is growing. This is getting a little late. Will wait for a couple of more days before calling.

Sanjesh, I am still waiting for FP also. There is a LUD on my I-485 1/30, but that's about it. I guess I will hear something soon. Will update if I do! Good luck to us both!
