Medical Exam?
I am about to filed for I485 based on marriage to USC and would greatly appreciate your answer to a perhaps silly questions. Did you file your I-693 (medical exam) along with I485 or did you wait until INS told you to do the exam? Was "Biometrics" the same as "medical exam"?

Got AOS Interview Date
Hi,
Let me first answer your questions.
I filed the I-693 along with I-485 as was requested by them.
"Biometrics" is totally different from the "medical exam".
You do your medical exam with a US civil surgeon (Chosen from list that USCIS has) and get your I-693 form filled and sealed by him/her.
Once the USCIS gets your AOS and EAD application, they will ask you to make a "biometrics and fingerprinting" appointment with a USCIS service center, where they will take your fingerprints and photograph.
By the way, I received my AOS interview notice on Monday for June 23. Thats not too bad considering I applied only on Jan 14. USCIS is definitely working hard for me
.
Good luck to all.

I have to wait more than a month!
Well, anyway, it's much better I couldn't schedule an appointment.
I called NBC to schedule it yesterday around 9:00 am, but there's no available schedule for 45 Days in New York City area.
A customer service rep. at NBC recommended I should have called at 8:00 am to take an available slot.
So I did this morning.
The earliest schedule is 5/18/05 in New York, NY.

Relatively fast turnaround so far
3/16/05 Sent I-485 package to Lockbox
3/17/05 I-485 package delivered to Lockbox
4/4/05 Received receipt notice dated 4/1/05
4/4/05 E-Filed I-765
4/5/05 Sent supporting docs for I-765 to NBC
4/6/05 Supporting docs delivered to NBC
4/12/05 Biometrics appointment at DC ASC
The receipt notice says the case should be decided within 120 - 180 days. I'm not sure how this will happen if the DC office is still processing apps from ealy last year but I'll keep my fingers crossed.

EAD and AP are issued by the NBC so check their processing dates. These dates seem to be pretty accurate.
AOS is done at the DO and hence you should check your DO processing dates. However the DO district dates are not very accurate. For e.g. the Columbus, OH processing date for I-485 is June 2004, but I got an interview call for my AOS interview even though my notice date is only Jan 2005.
Good Luck
bucks.rule,
Thanks for your prompt response. I feel much better hearing that NBC is responsible for EAD and AP. Because my DO is Memphis which is one of the slowest one.
Good luck with your interview. Your DO is superfast. I have to wait for 1.5 to 2 years before I hear anything about interview in my case.

My Attorney sent the document immediately after they received the RFE and the status of my case was updated with in a week after it was sent. the overall delay was 2 weeks for my case!! but it was a good sign that some one at MSC/NBC is working on my case
