Hi, what Receipt Date did they put on your notice? I’m wondering whether the 4-5 week delay affects receipt date... I’m in a similar situation; going on 3 weeks...

I-765, I-131 and I-485 - Receipt date for all three was Feb 18th 2020. The notice date for all three, though, was March 25th 2020. March 25th is when they sent the NOA's out.

rrt_01 have you received biometric notice?

[rrt_01]

No. I haven't received bio-metrics yet. Most likely because ASC's are closed until June now. I just received Request for Initial Evidence - Long form birth certificate. It is pretty difficult for me to get it now due to lock-downs.

Anyone what to do a ******** group for the February filers. What you think?

Hi everyone,

Just joined after reading for some time. Reading almost every day now just to stay checked in and hopeful. Came here on O1 two years ago, now married (wife is a USC).

2/18 Filed petition (I-485, I-765, I-130, I-131)
2/25 Fingerprint fee received
3/18 Biometrics scheduled - cancelled, first day of COVID shutdown
4/1 Biometrics rescheduled and cancelled again
4/9 Courtesy notice (yellow letter) regarding medical

No news since then. Status on I-485 is "Fingerprint fee received," everything else is just "case was received."

Thanks. Did you get your biometric appointment (or waiver) yet?

Hi,
I mailed to the Chicago lockbox and as you can see my case is going. I have a couple of questions,

1. Should I receive an NOA for the I-130 form? I only received one for the I-485 and the appointment for fingerprints.
2. Have anyone received the EAD? It has been 3 months after filling my i485 and I haven't received my EAD.

I'd appreciate your help.

Married to USC, sent I-130, I-131, I-485, I-765
Got MSC case number (NBC)

2/10- Package received
3/11- I-485, I-765 Biometrics taken
3/18- I-485, I-765 Fingerprint Review Was Completed
3/26- RFE requested
4/1- RFE mailed to USCIS
4/2- Updated on website and received by USCIS


Anyone else with similar timeline ?
My work permit for STEM OPT will be expiring by May 28th 2020 and I’m hoping to get my EAD before it expires fingers crossed.

It is taken more than usual, probably you will receive it in June or July. I am still waiting and have a similar timeline but they didn't ask me for RFE.
It shows me "is ready to be scheduled for an interview" but after 3 months nothing about the EAD.

My OPT permit expired on Feb.

odobo Some people have had interviews waived without doing biometrics - old biometrics were used instead. I saw you asking this question in a different thread.

I had biometric appointments canceled in March, but no news since then.

No news on EAD for me. I filed about a week after you, had biometric appointment scheduled for 3/18, but that turned out to also be the first day that USCIS offices were closed. I haven't had any news since, and status on all cases (same forms as you) is still on "case received" or "fingerprint fee received."

vivi1 , how old was your (previous) biometric when they applied it?


All, does anyone know whether biometrics taken at airports (port of entry) are valid for AOS applications?

odobo , My previous biometrics appointment was taken in Dec 2019.
