It hasn't even been 2 weeks yet... what did you expect to hear? And
let's not forget that there was also a federal holiday in there... so
that's been... what, 8 business days? You need to switch to decaf.

It sounds like you'll be fine... it's a waiting game now.



Code 1 = All 10 fingerprints
Code 2 = Index fingerprint, signature, picture
Code 3 = All 10 fingerprints, and also index fingerprint,
signature, picture.

Carlos,

From what I understand if your priority date became current in July, it
wouldn't matter if you mailed your I-485 application on June 30, it
would still be rejected (according to the revised July bulletin).

If your priority date became current in an earlier bulletin, then you
should be patient as others have suggested.

Why would they send him a fingerprinting notice if the petition was
going to be rejected...

Elvira,

My reply was to "casolorz" (not Carlos as I mistakenly addressed the
OP), who was not the recipient of the biometric notice (which was a
message posted by "jakevisa"). casolorz had just sent in the I-485
according to the message quoted above, and the OP did not state when
their priority date became current, that is why I suggested the
possibility of rejection.

Did I misunderstand anything?
