Recent experience with family-based immigration application at NBC?

No news, forms received by CIS on 5/3. Looks like this could be next week, going by Amherst22 timeline. And it's Memorial Day :(. Actually my next big worry is the wait for fingerprints, as some appoitments are 6 weeks out at some offices from what people have posted here. And no walk-ins accepted in the local office, either.

You know, the usual situation here. Job offer waiting, but the job will go away if no work permit in time...

I am grateful for this forum, being in the dark is no fun at all, and this way at least we have some reliable tracking data, but it still seems the wait times are all over the map.

Where to send RFE for Chicago lockbox AOS?

Can you give me the address to send the RFE? I submitted my I-130, I-485 and I-765 applications only to find out later that I forgot to include current employment information with the affidavit of support. I'd like to send it before they ask for it but I'm not sure where. Please let me know where did you send your RFE paper. Is it just the Chicago lockbox address for the application? Thanks!
 
Can anyone know the EAD I-765 application is approved by the local district centre or NBC? I live at Houston, TX, I finished my finger print last week, but no news until now.? Thanks,
 
Hi, everyone! I'm also (in)patiently waiting for my EAD as some of you are here. I am starting to feel a little panicky :( since my current EAD (Practical Training) will be expiring in 1 month. I really want to get my new EAD by then so that I don't have to stop working... According to USCIS tracker updated on 5/18/05, they are currently processing EAD applications received on 4/4/05. So, hopefully I will be receiving my EAD soon (my NOA date is 4/19/05). I am applying from Los Angeles, by the way. I will keep you updated ;) !

That timeline is amazing. Biometrics done on day 11? That's about the fastest I have seen anywhere. I hope you know you're extremely lucky.
 
montanagriz we are on the same boat. USPS shows may 2 as date of receipt. Have never been so eager to see a check I wrote get cashed :). I'm hoping that notices are received next week after holidays. Best of luck everyone.

I-693 filing

We live in LA and are getting ready to file the AoS packet to the Lockbox

- How long does the medical exam take?
- Does one need to submit the medical exam form I-693 along with the AoS packet? On the USCIS site, I read some district offices require it at filing time but other offices need it at time of interview.

Thanks
Julie
 
Medical Exam

Julie,

Medical exam is now needed at the time of submitting all other applications to Chicago lockbox. I submitted applications (I-130, I-485, etc) without medical exam back in March, and everything was returned to me stating I do need to submit medical exam with everything else. It took me only a few days to get a result of medical exam. I made an appt, went in the next day, it took about 45 min for a doctor to do exam and shots, etc. I got a sealed letter (that needs to be submitted to USCIS) from the doctor in 2 days. It did cost me a lot though ($300)... Good luck.

Documents NBC processes vs ones that DO and SC does

Thanks Mspiggy for the quick response.

I have trying to find the processing time for various documents. But for that first I was trying to find out which office processes what. Reading various threads, it sounds like:
I-485 is processed at the local DO (NBC does pre-interview work & fwds case to District Office)
I-130 is processed at the service center (NBC does pre-interview work & fwds case to Service Center)
I-131 (AP) and I-765 (EAD) are completely processed at the NBC

Is that correct?

Thanks
Julie

Gatorlink!! Congratulations on your smooth procedure!^^
I'm waiting for my interview schedule.
By the way, did you receive NOA for I485 interview from your DO or Lee's Summit, MO?
I'm just a little worried because my DO, New York City is very slow though.
Wish you good luck!!
