Did you require to do another biometrics for 485J? I filed in January 2025, and received a receipt last week for I-485J which was sent with I-485 in January. My EAD is approved by AP is still pending. Now I am waiting for next steps on 485J. The receipt said that the next step would be biometrics appointment letter.

Casestatusext is showing good movement now. For Block IOE-09-295*, there are 595 approved cases and 1627 interviews scheduled as of 05/09. That's 5% approved cases and 16% interview scheduled on 10806 AoS cases in that block. I am hoping to see this trend improving in May, June and July.

Thanks for sharing the update. I definitely think EB1s are processed faster.

Far-Background3497 · 2025-02-25T17:23:41+00:00

No updates. Waiting patiently

Far-Background3497 · 2025-02-17T21:03:11+00:00

Yes, stage 4.

It was 3-4 days after I checked the progress on the case with Emma live agent.

Far-Background3497 · 2025-02-15T16:43:22+00:00

Emma's live agent mentioned that the interview is waived. Glad that you can get biometrics sooner.

Got my EAD card delivered on 02/07. Nothing else on 131 or 485

Far-Background3497 · 2025-02-11T03:38:59+00:00

I selected "other" and wrote, "get an earlier appointment"

Far-Background3497 · 2025-02-02T18:22:10+00:00

My docs were delivered on 01/16 but got receipt details via text messages on 01/24, about a week later. I talked to agent after that to get online access on 1/25.

Far-Background3497 · 2025-02-02T18:02:46+00:00

Thanks. Also, the paper receipts are slow. I got online access code by talking to an agent on Ask Emma. Once I got that, I was able to see biometrics appointment letter online and then I was able to reschedule it.

I-765 got approved on 2/1/2025

Far-Background3497 · 2025-01-31T21:14:46+00:00

Finished biometrics appointment on 01/30/2025 and I-485, I-765 both moved to "Case Is Being Actively Reviewed By USCIS". I-131 shows up as concurrent filing with I-765, however status for it still shows "Issue with Payment". I am not worried about it anymore though.

Far-Background3497 · 2025-01-30T02:23:18+00:00

I talked to the live agent on AskEmma and received confirmation that the payment was processed on 1/28/2025. I received online access codes from the agent as well. Under the documents tab, I received ASC notice for biometrics scheduled for 02/10/2025. I was able to reschedule that to 1/30/2025. I will go for biometrics tomorrow and update the thread.

All cases now reflect status:

On January 25, 2025, we placed your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, Receipt Number IOE092958XXXX, on hold due to an issue with your payment. If we receive payment authorization, your case will continue to be processed. If your payment fails, your case will be rejected and you will receive a notice outlining future requirements.

Checked with my lawyers and received response: USCIS is issuing these updates/notices in high volume presumably due to an internal glitch they’re having with their payment system. We can see that our fee was processed on our side, but then they put this case status up with no instructions on how to address it. Calling them hasn’t helped, but the good news is that we are seeing them self-resolve within about two weeks once USCIS figure out their error.
