Thank you for your response. I find it.

Quick question, I see many people have "Previous Biometrics applied". In which case, you guys had previous Biometrics? From another application for something at some point? I wonder if I have any previous one can be reused.

Happy to help. My reused biometrics were from a previous application back in 2017 - I do not know what criteria they use to approve or reuse biometrics. I assume if they took you biometrics recently that could be reused.

Most likely I will have to do a biometrics. Last time I did a fingerprint scan was when I first came here in 2010 as student. I do not recall any other fingerprint scan since then, other than scan my finger as a check when entering U.S. at the airport. Hopefully it will not take too long. It seems like this waiting could be 3 months.....so slow

Family Based AOS (US Citizen spouse)
PD: 03/27/2021
Package: I-130, I-485, I-131, I-765, I-864, G-1145
G-28 was also submitted but was rejected. Attorneys will file a new one for each form.

03/26/2021 Delivered - Chicago Lockbox
04/21/2021 Checks Cashed
04/30/2021 Received NOA in the mail (Received 4 I-797Cs for forms: I-485, I-130, I-131, I-765)

Did not receive any text/email notifications. Is that because the G-28 was rejected ?
Also did not receive a receipt notice for I-864. Are we supposed to get that one ?

Thank you!

I 864 is part of the I 485 and I 30A is part of I 30 so I don't think you should receive receipt numbers for these. Also if you have the mailed copy your are fine. Not sure why you did not receive the electronic communication.

Thank you!

We have the exact same timeline so far, regarding filing date, check cash date and receiving NOA in mail date.

I do not think text/email notification matters at this point, since you have already received your NOA in mail, and got all 4 receipt numbers.

You will only get 4 receipt numbers. I-130, I-485, I-131 and I-765.

Ok thank you for the info. I will wait for the case status updates.

Ok, thank you for confirming. Let's keep each other posted here. I'll post as and when there are any updates to my case status.

Congratulations. It's so fast.

When I was doing research before concurrently filing, all the recommendations I saw was to mail I-130 and I-485 together. I guess that's not the best recommendation anymore. Obviously, if you file I-130 online, it gets approved much faster. I think you are the second one I see on this Forum that received a super fast processing of I-130 after filing online.

That's really interesting. I can't help but wonder if USCIS has officers dedicated only to adjudicating I-130s filed online. It's possible that not many people are submitting them online. There could be a number of factors.
Either way, it's nice for others to know that filing the I-130 online and then mailing the I-485 may be a way of getting the I-130 adjudicated faster. It has to be a really nice feeling to walk into your AOS interview with an already approved I-130.

Congrats!
