Signature update. Waiting on biometrics appointment letter

Since I received NOA for I-485, I-765 and I-131,does that mean that there will be NO RFEs for my case ?

The NOA's you got mean that USCIS has received your application/petition. So, they are in the process of reviewing your application. You may or may not get an RFE. Cross your fingers that you don't get one. ;)

Hi ap51672,

How easy was the walk-in fingerprint at San Jose, CA?
Did they ask why you were there early?
Is there a good time for walk-ins? What time did you go there?
It seems like doing fingerprint early does have some advantage.
You got the interview letter one day before you were supposed to take fingerprint. Congrats!

ahsieh,
I cant answer specifically about San Jose ASC. I walked in after 11am went upto the floor and asked to walk in. The person who was accepting documents didnt ask for any explanation. Asked for my id and stamped the document though the guy who fingerprinted me asked. I told him I have an appointment on that day(by the way it was the truth). With walkin's it's a 50-50 thing.. they can allow you to do so or tell you to come on your assigned date.
Best of luck.

Thanks for your response, monsoonbreeze79.

Yes, whether you will be allowed to do fingerprint early really depends, so that's why I would like to hear some real experience at San Jose.

So far from the status I have read here, it seems like things are moving pretty smoothly for most people. Someone claims they have the card within 3 months. This is a good news.

Thanks. We first went to Oakland ASC as that was on the letter. But they did not allow us to do Fingerprinting in advance. People working at San Jose ASC were very nice and since there were not many people the security officer over there allowed us to do the FP. We went before lunch time.

We were planning to go there earlier, but after reading your post, I guess it's better to go there before lunch (11am?) when other scheduled appointments are done and they are not as busy.
 
Ahsieh, I am not that eager.... the ASC center was 2 miles from my place so I thought I would give it a try....
 
probably. But, the point is a lot of people can see their cases online so there isn't any rhyme or reason if your case status appears online or not :)


Hello Thomas...
Same with me.. the online tracking doesnt help much in my case..
Just curious, when your EAD card was ordered, did you get notice in the mail?
Do you have any idea between the producing of EAD and receiving it, how long does it normally take?

after my FP appointment, the I-765 and I-485 appeared online and then I started receiving updates. But the I-130 has not yet appeared online

Week or 2 normally. Just depends I guess
