Recent experience with family-based immigration application at NBC?

Time frame for Application at NBC

Here is my time frame: Married to a USC. Mailed I-485/I-130/I-765 on Feb.15, 2005. Received at the Chicago lockbox on Feb.17, 2005, the receipt came back on Feb. 19, 2005 and it is signed by a person but it's hard to tell what the name is.
As of today no response and the checks have not been cashed yet.
Is it normal to take that long to even cash the checks?
ANybody any idea?
thanks
 
Thanks

Thanks for your information. So, is it normal to get the EAD card after 45 days. how long you get your EAD card? I might move to other state in two weeks. I am afraid I cannot get the mail. It is poor if I miss. Any ideas?

You will get a notice for biometrics and finger printing (I-765 and I-130/I485). you need to call the number listed in the notice and make an appointment for BIo and FP. The current appointment timelines for Philly is more than 30 days to get your Bio and FP done.

All my checks have been cashed! I'm now waiting for the USCIS NOAs.

They received my application on 2/16/05. Checks were cleared on 3/11/05.
 
hi bigclaw

Your check is cashed. So, you received a notice that they received your application? I submitted on 3 March, I receive nothing until now. Someone said they usually reply you with A# that they received your application. Is that right?
 
I knew the checks were cashed through my bank's website. I have not received any notices from the USCIS.
 
Received all four (130/485/765/131) receipt letters from USCIS today, along with the postal green return receipt card. (I think USCIS has been holding the postal card all this time!)

Application packaged mailed on: 2/14/05
Received by USCIS on: 2/16/05
NOAs received back on: 3/14/05
 
Question to bigclaw

what is the receipt notice date for your case? the USCIS website says that the processing time for a I765 is about 5 weeks......As I said before I fedexed my stuff on Feb 28, and I will need my EAD by mid june........... I am just worried if I will be able to meet the deadline.
Thx

Hi Andy_pandy,

where did you find the information in USCIS website regarding I765 process ing time?

The current processing timelines for I765 is JAN27 2005 for NBC. I have sent my Application on Jan18th and I am still waiting for my EAD. As per my Attorney it is taking anywhere between 60 and 90 days to get EAD.

I got my EAD card yesterday. I sent my AOS, AP, EAD applications on Jan 15 and got my NOA's on Jan. 24. I also got my AP papers in the mail on March 5.

On what form have you provided the e-mail address, or do you do it online somehow? I don't recall I provided one, but it sure is convenient.

Hi,

Thanks for the information I was guaging the progress at NBC and actual approvals and the status on the USCIS website looks current.

I have NOA date of FEB 10th so I should be getting some news regarding my EAD by this month end or early April

CIS is processing Jan27 2005 cases I hope to see an updated processing timelines next week
 
Thanks for buck information. It seems it takes 60 days to get EAD. I will move to another places for few months, do you think I can forward the mail from my old address to new address using us post office service, instead of submittinging the form ar-11 to USCIS. Because someone said USCIS process this kind of form in slow motion. My address is unstable. What can I do?
 
My understanding has been that USCIS letters are not forwarded to your new address. So your best bet is probably AR-11, plus notifications to the National Benefits Center itself about your address change.
 
Thx bigclaw,
The point is that I need to move from SC to TX, if I send them ar-11 and notifications, do you think they can make a change of my address in their computer. I am worried that they cannot make a change so quick. So, I think about the forward mail service. Also, do you think I can change the location for my fingerprint and picture of local centre, if I move from SC to TX. Thanks for suggestion.
 
nkllee, I don't know about getting them at a different place. I do think that sending USCIS change of address notifications won't hurt anyway. If as I figured, the postal service doesn't forward these letters, then address-forwarding won't help you much.

By law, you are required to file AR-11 with USCIS every time you move anyway.
 
thanks, bigclaw, you are right..by the law, i should file ar-11 and the notice to NBC. thx anway, and good luck to you.
 
My I-485 status page says it currently takes 120 to 180 days to process it. I'm based in Atlanta, GA, and that's considerably shorter than the 2-year waiting time I've been hearing. Hmm....
