[explosive]

Hi, I have a small question. The RFE letter had two addresses where it could be sent to: one for Regular Mail and other for "Express Mail or Courier Deliveries". What is Courier Deliveries? I sent by UPS next day air. Is that Courier? Just want to be sure I sent tot the right address thanks!

Yes, UPS is a courier.

FYI. Called USCIS as it has been 30days since I received my I797 receipt in the mail but no appointment for biometrics.
CSR asked if I called previously, which I did call 2 weeks ago when wasn't 30days since I received I797, hence no action was taken.
CSR informed me that no biometrics appointment has been scheduled and raised a service request. I am to wait for another 30 days before calling back if I did not receive any updates by then.

I just got my biometrics appointment. It on May 8.
Really hope yours arrive very soon too.

I-797 C note has a single letter error on my address

I just got my biometrics appointment after 20 days of wait. The name of our street written with an letter error. It was still delivered as the rest of the address was okay. Should I take any action? I am just worried that it will be taken as change of address and it will delay the process. What would you suggest?

You do not need a SSN to open a bank account. Bank personnel may sometimes say that is a requirement; even though, that might just be all they know. Most major banks only require you to have a valid government issued ID. Your unexpired passport will do. Your spouse can add you to any credit card as a authorized user. You do not need a SSN for that either. Same goes for utility bills.

I am just saying that there are tons of ways of show evidence of bona fide marriage. Now, you really only had a month between filing and your interview notice. I would handle this as if it were a fiance/k-1 situation. Focus on showing evidence of how long you dated. If you still have access to those text messages, then you may use iExplorer to print them. They get printed in a format that is accepted in courtrooms. Screenshots are OK but try scrolling back to messages that are a year old and it just takes too long.

Got a bank account at citi bank today next week we are getting preped by our lawyer and getting medical exam

Hi, I was wondering if this has happened to someone else. I submitted in February for marriage based adjustment of status. Already received the NOAs and request for biometrics which is next week.

Today I received a letter of request for initial evidence asking for my marriage certificate which I sent with my original application. I sent right away anther copy of the marriage certificate with a copy of the request for evidence letter but I'm worried if there's something wrong with my certificate? I sent an original but I have many originals. The court gave us many copies which they all say they're regionals. And it says that it is a felony to copy that document (it is written in red in the same document. Is a certificate from Wisconsin). So I am afraid of copying it and someone saying I did a felony. So I just sent another original. I appear with my maiden name and the application was sent with my married name. But I have my maiden name in the list of other names. Don't know if that can be? I called immigration and they said to send it again that they could have overlooked it. But the certificate is a big blue document bigger than all others, it's impossible to overlook it.

Thanks!

Did you include a table of contents listing all the evidence? It's possible whoever handled your application didn't see it in the packet or on the table of contents.

Got my biometrics notice

Hello.

I just got my biometrics notice but there is a letter error on my address line. The mail was delivered to me as it is a simple spelling mistake. Do you think I should ask for address correction. I am just worried it might delay things.

Biometrics completed.

Congrats. I think even your status will now change to "case ready to be schedule for interview" in a day or two.

Update - biometrics letter received

Biometrics letter received. So, as others suggested Biometrics letter might take around 30 days from PD.

Yay! It is exciting to get progress.
My husband's biometrics appt was 11am, we arrived at 10:30am, the lady inside asked for our appt letter, handed us a form to fill out basic information of the applicant, with a number that we will go by, also she made sure everyone's phone is on silence. Another lady collected the form and told husband to sit by the grey chair and I cannot go beyond that area, just need to wait for him by the red chair area, but I can see what is going on with him. He is called by the number and got his finger print on 10 fingers. We were in and out in 15 mins.
