August Filers Post Here
Hi. I sent my I-130/I-485 application last July 31st and it was received August 1st. I havent received any receipt nor the checks werent cashed yet. So I am wondering, is this normal? I have seen other peoples progress and they have their receipts and checks cashed within a week. So it makes me a little worried.
Anyhow, please post here also if you are an August filer. Lets all track our progress.
Hi imme
I am getting ready to mail the papers for mothers AOS. Hoping to be done soon to join the August thread.
Hope you get your check encashed soon and process for all ofus goes smooth.
Thanks Subbu
Imme,
Hmm, this sounds familiar. I was a july filer, now I am an august filer for some reason (check the July filers thread). I sent in my papers again and they arrived Mon Aug 11. I havent heard anything yet, my checks are not cashed yet. You are not alone, though most pple seem to be going pretty fast.
I guess Im an honorary August filer as well.
From what I can gather, the clock starts over again once an RFE response is received (for everything except the fingerprints/FBI background check).
Im noticing slight slowdowns in processing vs prior months. I suspect the huge backlog of USCs that naturalized this spring/summer is starting to petition a bunch of I-130s.
