February 2019 filers

[celosia89]

2/27/2019 I-130 & 130A, I-131, I-765, sealed I-693, I-864, & I-485 Sent
02/28/2019 Package Delivered thru UPS (1-day overnight)
03/01/2019 Received 4 texts case accepted at NBC
03/05/2019 Both checks encashed
03/09/2019 Received 4 NOAs in mail
03/11/2019 Online status changed to RFE for i-485

and then I was asking everyone what the RFE could be possibly for.

UPDATE:

3/15/2019 (today)
TWO mails arrived:
1) Notice for the Biometric Appointment scheduled on Mar 28, 2019 (Los Angeles)
2) RFE to send a birth certificate which I already sent...

I previously sent both Basic Certificate & Family Relations Certificate (translated & certified by the Korean Embassy with the seals), so I am not sure what else they want to see. Any advice? I just don't get it...

What is your case? F1 or F2B or marriage?

Hi even our documents were delivered to chicago lockbox on Feb 25, and we got the NOK mail for all 4 forms on 03/05. Did you tried calling them ?

Thank you so much for sharing your experience - I really appreciate it!! I called them twice and the second time they gave me an incident number and they said they would look into it (they make you wait until it?s been over 15 days to look into it). Thankfully about an hour ago I received a bunch of text message notifications!!! I have never been so relieved. I don?t know why it took almost 3 weeks?? My Cheques still haven?t been cashed though.

Oh that?s wonderful. I know right, they don?t have any pattern to reply to the applicants, they just do randomly. I think it might take 3 days to show up that your check have been processed. It?s good that you got NOK for all forms. Keep waiting and be patient we all are in same boat

UPDATE: My mailman decided to not delivery my mail today and just drove right passed my house, which is typical, so I did not get the biometric appointment in the mail as expected. Luckily, my attorney received a copy today, and emailed it to me. Don't you just love the postal service?

Thanks. My mailman decided to drive right passed my house and not deliver my mail today. Early weekend I guess. Luckily, my attorney received a copy of the notice today and just emailed it to me.

Hey @junkmart, even the same thing happened to us yesterday. Our USPS informed delivery showed that there?s a package getting delivered from USCIS (hopefully a biometric notice) along with another random mail. But what happened was we got that random mail peice getting delivered but not the USCIS one.

I?m at so worried now, how to find that USCIS letter. I spoke to usps customer care and they gave me a ticket no. And asked me to check back after 72 hours, but that?s too long

Any suggestion anyone can provide would be really helpful and appreciated

C5 package sent to Texas center

Hi, I sent I 765 form to Texas center and received a letter from Potomac center to inform me they received my document with receipt number. The problem is I did not receive any Biometric appointment since that time. I sent the form Feb 18 and They accepted my form and sent me a letter with date Feb 21 2019.
Is anybody on the same boat here?
Could you please share some information

I think you should contact with USCIS so let's see what they say, most of filers I look to this thread in Feb they receive between 3- 7 days, or any delay just 2 weeks. Hope you can get it soon! Waiting mine too

Hello, I have recently submitted the following forms (I130, I485, I765, I693 & I864). But somehow i didn't realize that its good to submit I131 along with these forms. So do you think i can still submit I131 anytime in the next few months while the I485 is being processed? If i do so, do i have to pay $575 for I131 or since I have already submitted I485 and it's pending, i don't have to pay $575?

Also, i noticed online that the Processing time for I485 is anywhere between 13 months to 38 months Does this apply for the Immediate relative processing time as well? OR It's mainly for other Family based Green Card processing time?

Your feedback will be really helpful.

Yes, you can submit i131 also, you can do it right now without any charge, no fee because it goes with i485, but i have to mention the receipt number of i485
I485 process from 13 - 38 months depend on location that you will be interviewed, you apply at Houston, TX maybe 15-24 months

800-375-5283
English: press 1 - Then press 2 - press 7 (for all other services) - press 5 (submit application with difficult hearing or something...I don't remember) - press # (don't know receipt number) -- Then waiting line 30-40 mins, someone will answer you and ask you receipt

marriage.

You just need to send again, sometimes they are confused the paper and evidences which you sent to them. I sent the package on 7 Feb and got rejected on 15 Feb. The reason is my immigration visa not available. Then, I wrote the letter indicate on their website my priority date before the filing date and I sent back to them on 28 Feb -- got accepted. Sometimes, officer process our cases might not focus and lost some paper

Hi VF123. I would hold tight, you should get it soon. I was told that it can take up to a week from the time it is shown in Informed Delivery to show up. I got mine on Saturday, they day after I originally posted.

This has happened to me before, and I have found that going to the post office and speaking to the supervisor does no good.

Hi there folks!
Does anyone here have any idea if it is alright to start applying for job while waiting for our EAD?

I guess is alright, just don't start working until you have your EAD, just to be safe. I understand that people married to USC some illegal work is not a problem, but why go there?

JunkMart - Yes, you are right. It got delivered to me the next day and I even completed my Biometric appointment.

Are you done with your Biometric ?

Not yet. Appointment is set for 3/26 at 3pm. Did you do an early walk-in?
