I filed my application (concurrent I-130 / I-485) on jan 9,2014. Received receipt noticed, checks cashed, etc. But I still have not received a appointment letter to do fingerprinting.. It's been over 30 days, so I called uscis n they opened a case on the 10th of feb and said that in 15 days we will get a response.. I saw a case on another forum that has even dragged out beyond this 15 day period into another 30 day wait.. I really don't want that to happen to us. My husband (USC) still hasn't gotten job offers for when we graduate school in May (we're in the same field) whereas I have several offers waiting on me.. So I need to be able to work especially since my husband is still job hunting and our college loans are about to be due in a few months..
Is there anything that we can do? Could I do the fingerprinting without the appointment? Can I apply for OPT even though I filed for an adjustment of status? Is there anyone I can call to speed things along or get answers?
I'm trying to be patient, but at the same time I don't want my case to be held up unnecessarily when there is something else I could've done. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
