Recent experience with family-based immigration application at NBC?

Can anyone advise if USCIS sends out an official appointment letter for FP and biometrics after I have already called the 1-800# to setup an appointment at ASC and received a confirmation date and number on the phone?

Thanks

Thanks.
How come in some of the posts I have seen people mentioning about receiving an appointment letter - is it the I797c (NOAs), which we need to take?

They are talking about the receipt notice that they have send you for I485, I765, and so on.
You have to take receipt notice for I485 and I765 with you.
 
Thanks Ami.
On another note, for the processing center are my following assumptions correct?
I765 -> NBC
I131 -> NBC
I130 -> Service Center
I485 -> Local DO

You are right.
 
Hey how're you doing Ami...do you by any chance know what the NOA says when one applies for a replacement/renewal EAD....my friend just applied to replace her EAD which she can't find, and on the I-797C it doesn't say anything about replacement; it only says "I-765-Application for Employment Authorization." Is that right or a mistake was made. Thanks.

Zoomz00m, congratulations to you as well! How in the world have you been able to get a next day appointment for biometrics? This must be a super-quiet regional office. Let us know how things progress from here.

Actually I send out the I-765 sperately. I had appointment for I-485/I-130 asc code 3 (which I had made 42 days earlier). But the day before the appointment I received the noa for I-765 asking me for biometrics asc code 2.
I went to the ofice( took both noa's hoping if they'll do both).. and they did not even ask me whether I had any appointments or not. Just took the two NOA from me and the DL license and called me after an hour.Therefore I was able to do I485/I130 code 3 and also I-765 code 2.( seemed to me they don't care much if you had appointment or not...cause i didn't have to tell them anything...and did not since don't ask don't tell policy works sometimes)
All in all, the process took about 1 and a half hour from the time I enterd the office till I got out.
By the way I think the process of approval of EAD has slowed down quite a bit for those who have mailed aplication after may 1st.
PS: Decided not to make the e-mail account for updates...since if i do so I know I'll be checking that every hour for updates and antognizing myself when i don't see any.

I was wondering...how come people in Jacksonville are getting interview for I-485 wil NOA Feb/March 2005 while the USCIS website says they are processing I-485 JULY 2004.
Any insights from people who are getting interview that is far ahead of the listed dates on the USCIS websites will be appreciated.
Especailly if you could tell me how are the Boston DO doing ( posted I-485 processing is Sep 2004 so suposedly ahead of the Jacksonville DO)

Thank you for the Info. I was planning on driving by there next week. My ASC is in Charlotte, NC. What about yours?

I have no idea why that is the case. I did file my AOS I-485 in Feb of 2005 and got my interview on 6/28/05. I suppose the processing times are not correct for Jacksonville. I did hear that USCIS is taking a new approach to Family AOS packages and they were trying to streamline the process so the wait times are reduce. I do know for employment base AOS in Jacksonville, FL people are still waiting that file back in 2004. I believe that processing times are correct for Employment type AOS but not for family base AOS. That is all I could think of. Well good luck to you all who is still waiting your turn will come. God is in control of everything! :) :D

to gamze and others how long does it take to receive the Ap/ead in the mail , it was approved on 06/07/05.

Will update when I get it.

Day 1 04/11/05 Mailed the package to NBC

Silly Question

Is marriage based I-130/1485 adjudicated at the same time?
The reason I am asking this is because it seems that
I-130 is processed in service center VSC(in my case)
and I-485 is processed in local DO Boston(in my case).

VSC is processing I-130 with receipt notice date of April 02, 2005
Boston Do is processing I-485 with receipt notice date of Sptember 2004.

So should I be expecting to get an answer for I-130 sooner or will it be adjucated in conjunction with I-485.
thank you

Site for checking my case status??

Hi Gurus,

I am married to US Citizen and filed I-130, I-485, I-765 & I-131 on 05/16/05.
Received my Notice of Action on June 10th 2005.
I tried to look at the online case search site https://egov.immigration.gov/cris/caseStatusSearchDisplay.do;jsessionid=eJ7uLFOSeBtg

But the site says RECEIPT Number not found? And case status online, says receipt numbers should begin with three letters such as (EAC, WAC, LIN, or SRC), while all my Receipt nos are begining with 'MSC' ?

Am I looking at right site? Or the BCIS has not yet entered my case in the data base?

Appreciate if some one can answer.

My Time Line
05/16/05 Mailed I-130, I-131 (AP), I-485 (AOS) and I-765 (EAD) to Chicago
Lock Box (Day 1)
05/17/05 Delivered at Chicago at 12.35 pm
06/09/05 All 4 checks cashed
06/10/05 Received Notice of Action (4)
