[IslandFolks]

Miami Filer

I got married in 2015 however my spouse just got citizenship this year so I waited until after the citizenship to file for GC and EAD.

I filed my I-130 back in March 2016


I did all my forms myself (no lawyer)

Nov. 3rd 2017: I filed I-485, I-765 and I-864
Nov. 6th, 2017: Received in Chicago Office
Nov. 15th 2017: Email and text that case accepted NBC Center
Nov. 24th 2017: Received Biometrics Letter for 12/08/2017 Appointment
Nov. 24, 2017: Biometrics Walk in and got done in 10 mins


No updates when I check the receipt numbers still saying Fingerprint fee was accepted and your case was received.
So the wait begins
