Hi,

Could anyone offer advice on these issues?

I applied for AOS (and EAD+AP) in NYC on November 12, and on November
25 I received two NOA I-797C -- one for the EAD and another for the
AP. However, id didn't get a NOA on the I-485 itself!

1. Is this unusual?

2. If so, what's likely to happen and who can I contact to ask about
it?

3. Should I go ahead and set up the biometrics appointment as
instructed on the EAD NOA?

4. If it turns out that there was something wrong with a part of my
application, will they continue processing my EAD and AP, or is
everything put on hold until I mail them whatever they ask for?

5. When I try to check the status of the two cases for which I have
NOAs, the USCIS web site does not recognize the recipt number I enter.
The instructions on the page say that the 13 char number starts with
EAC, WAC, LIN, or SRC, but mine starts with MSC. What's going on?

Thanks for your help!

k-1, right? MSC... you did file at your local office, right? Maybe the i-485 NOA is still coming, just late. I would call the local office if you can, either that or the 1-800 number and ask if they have any record of it.

Yes, i would go ahead with the biometrics appointment as instructed.

hi marnee,

yes, i'm a k-1. i did file at the local office, but i can't find their
phone number. i'll try the general 800# in a couple of days if i don't
get it by then.

thanks a lot!

We haven't gotten an NOA for our AOS either... we do have a receipt for the money orders we gave our local office, but no tracking number or anything. I think I'll wait a few days too and try the 1-800 mis-information line, just in case they might have a number to give us at least. You'll need to do biometrics for AOS as well as for the EAD.

Our EAD also had an MSC receipt number (because it went to the National Benefits Center for processing). It also took a while for the online case status search to recognize our receipt number... I'd wait another week or so and keep trying to enter it.
