January 2019 Filers

[leoatcle]

The most frustrating thing is that I have 2 different pieces of information from USCIS on the status of my case depending on where I look. At Case Status Online, it still says that my fingerprint fee was received. on my.uscis.gov it says that my fingerprint review was completed. The receipt dates are different on both too. Is this normal? Makes is hard to trust any information that I get is actually up to date or accurate

It's totally normal. My statuses on myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov have been more up-to-date until "Fingerprint review was completed" while egov.uscis.gov stayed with "fingerprint fee was received". However, the situation was overturned that I got the update from egov first saying "case is ready....". And myaccount has been updated 1-day delayed since then.

Hi everyone, I decided to share my experience with you and hope that it might help someone in the future.
Here is the list of events so far:

Office in St. Albans, VT

01/10/2019 Documents are admitted and checks have been cleared.
01/21/2019 RFE was issued
01/30/2019 Biometrcis were done
02/07/2019 According to USCIS records, I did not receive the RFE letter because It couldn't been have delivered to my house. It is called a "ghost RFE" which was a duplicate of the one I have already received.
03/12/2019 USCIS received my documents for RFE
03/25/2019 Ready to be scheduled for the interview
03/27/2019 Interview for Adjustment of Status has been scheduled.

There were no updates on my other forms on USCIS official website, however DHS website shows that fingerprints have beet accepted and other forms are in the process of being reviewed.

My RFE was associated with taxes. My lawyer included in the forms the fact that my husband worked overseas for 2 months, even though we did not have a proof of that income. Explanatory letter was not enough so we had to spend a lot of time and money retrieving and translating forms from French, paying an accountant for late tax submission during tax season and (big mistake!) we submitted it via mail, instead of filing online.

In order to show that we both are on top of our Tax Filing, in RFE we also included Joint Tax Returns for 2018.

According to my lawyer, it is extremely rare that someone is being scheduled to the interview so early in the process, so there is a chance it is one of the "errors" in the USCIS system. However, I still have a hope that it is true. Both, USCIS and DHS websites show the same update as of today.

I also have heard the rumor that USCIS is trying significantly decrease the waiting time to 4 months for the Adjustment of Status.

That would be the first I've heard of that. Everything I've seen seems to be going quite the opposite....

[NYC_USC_I130]

My EAD was approved today!

[ClevelandFiler]

What's your timeline?

[NYC_USC_I130]

What's your timeline?

I sent my package in early Jan.

[crarut01]

I sent my package in early Jan.

Any expedite? Or everything just normal? Congrats!

[VF123]

I sent my package in early Jan.

NYC_USC_I130 - wow !! congrats. Did you expedite the process ?? If not, then does it mean that NBC has reached in the January 2019 for the EAD applications ??

[NYC_USC_I130]

I called to expedite but I didn't finish it. They requested evidence through mail but the mail got lost. I called them and never followed up. Then I just got it.

[Gemini21]

I hope that pretty soon all Jan fillers begin to receive the EAD.
I was looking at the general timing and everything seems to be slowing down the last year.
