Received receipt notice, what is next please?

[drmbwh]

Dear friends,

I have received receipt notices for I-130, I-845 and work permit. On work permit it says I have to wait till I receive another appointment notice for fingerprint and photo taking, plus, they told me I can track my receipt notice for the 3 of them on internet to see when it will be processed. I called USCIS by phone and they says that it takes for EAD 1 month and others 2, 2 months to get processed, as I sent them 1st to Chicago.

My questions are: I would to know please:

1: How long it takes to process these 3 applications? My receipt number starts with MSC, that means it is being processed in MO, any ideas?

2: What is the next step, to receive appointment letter for fingerprinting and photo taking, THEN ''if cleared'', to receive a notice for interview? or it is just one notice for interview and they do finger printing the same day?

I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Hi

I actually did all my paper work on my own and had my green card approved last week. Now, my green card was on a marriage basis. Is yours on a marriage basis also? If yes, I will tell you about my own experience so you can have an idea.

Filled with USCIS on 10/23/08
Received letter for fingerprint appto on 12/01/08
Received my work permit at the end of December/08
Applied for a social then
Received a letter for interview at the beginning of January/09
Interviewed on 03/12/09
Got approved
Now, be ready bring all the paper work that can possibly prove the bona fide of your marriage, relax and good luck!
It didn't take 5 months for everything to get done, without a lawyer!

why i can not find my receipt number from internet?

my friend,

i got the same case like you did, but why i can not find my receipt number from the internet.
I filed application on March 7th, and got the receipt on March 15th with 4 different numbers of all receipt. but up to now, the uscis internet says can not find out my receipt number. Have you checked your number yet, do you find the same problem?

need to file I-765?

I dont understand why do we still need t file I-765 EAD since we filed already the I-130 and I-485? Isnt it if we have a tempo green card we are authorized to work in us? Or we need to file the I-765 so that the SS and drivers license can speed up immediately? please enlighten me on this. thank you

Let me ask this question as well here . I got married to a Permanent Resident (Greencard holder). I am a f1- student visa holder. I just filed all my forms as well.

My question is, am i going to receive receipts right away for all the forms ? OR is it going to take longer to receive the receipt confirmation.

my friend,

... but up to now, the uscis internet says can not find out my receipt number. Have you checked your number yet, do you find the same problem?

I'm having the same problem on the internet. It keeps saying I'm 'Attempting to add a case that does not exist.' The problem is my case does exist. I dont know what to do about it either.
