March 2018 filers: let's share our experience!!

[sinoptola]

You have nothing to worry about. Page 14/42 of I-485 Instructions,
-Filing Form I-485 with Forms I-765 and I-131
If you properly file Form I-485 and pay the required fees, you may file Form I-765 and Form I-131 without paying
additional fees. You may file these forms together, or if you choose to file Form I-765 or Form I-131 separately, you must
also submit a copy of your I-797C, Notice of Action, receipt as evidence that you filed and paid for Form I-485.

The rest of the fees are correct. The total is $1760. Since you were very smart to send them separately, they're only returning the extra payments and not the entire package. Had the total amount been wrong, they likely would have sent everything back to you.

All the best.

THANK YOU SO MUCH UScitizenFilingforspouse for clarifying this for me. Yes, good thing I send them each check separately.

Yes it was too much money so your research on google is actually accurate. Sorry that they return that but regroup and go again

Hehe, tease me all you want Jay D Destin, I have extra $985 back to my pocket now. Hahaha

It's taking at least 12 days. It's rather anticlimactic. You the texts set up the two types of accounts and that's it. Those accounts won't change for a while; unless you are in Cleveland, OH.

I'm waiting patiently, they moved fast in South Carolina. Hopefully this coming week I will get some notification.

I know how frustrating it can be to wait. Please have patience. It will all come in due time.

Day 10

It's been 10 days since Chicago lockbox received my AOS packet and no response as yet.
I did send in a G1145 as well.
Who else waiting for their acceptance message/mail?

Today is also my 10th day and I also filed to Chicago lockbox. Haven't received text/email either. I also filed G1145. For what I read, most people take 12 days. So we should get it on Monday

Can't help you for point 1 but who filed in March took around 12 to 15 days to get notification via email/text

Thanks!

I will call after 12 days .
Thank you for the information.

[mgc1986]

Yep! We forgot to sign form I-765 so that was returned to us, but we corrected it and sent it back... so hopefully smooth sailing from here

How long did it take for you to receive the returned documents? Hopefully they don't send them back to me but just to know in those cases approximately how long it takes.

[MzJ]

Update

I will call after 12 days .
Thank you for the information.

I receive 4 email and text modifications at 12:49 this morning, all my documents were received and I should get 4 form i797 in mail in the next 7-10 days.
