I sent my application in on 11/2 and the USCIS in Sacramento got it on the 4th. How long time should it take to send an application recipt number?
It says on one place that it will take two weeks after they recieve the package and then when i look at the Processing times it appears to take some six weeks.... and then what do they add two weeks after that. It seems to me that things just should move a little bit faster especially when i look at Fresno's office and notice that it takes two weeks for them..... just kind of annoying and puts an awful lot of stress on applicants.

you did not mention what kind of application.

change of status from F-1 due to marriage.

Submitted forms
I-485
I-765
and various other froms that comes along with the change of status.

I may be mistaken, but isn't the COS supposed to be processed and approved first, before filing I-485 and the rest????

What is COS? I-130?

COS which form is that?

What i was told to send in was the following and it is from the USCIS website as well as other places where i have done research.

I-485 and a moneyorder of $315
G-325A one for myself and on for my Husband
I-693
I-864 (signed before a notary)
I-765 and a moneyorder of $175
Color picutres according to required format
Copy of my I-94
Copy of my Student visa paperwork
three past years of Federal taxes filed by both of us jointly
plus the $70 for the biometrics (finger printing)

change os status form..

Marriage based, I-130 also.

ops... i forgot that i had also submitted the I-130 and the $130 that goes along with that one.

grrr...
make that $185 for the I-130....
