Today I received 4 letters from the USCIS(I-797C, Notice of Action). Across the top they clearly state in big bold letters "This notice does not grant any immigration status or benefit"
They are all receipts for the following applications.
I-485 Status Change (her)
I-765 Application to seek employment (her)
I-131 Travel Approval (her)
I-130 Petition for alien Relative (me). This form is a bit odd being she is not a relative but there are boxes on the form and you do need to submit.
So next up should be a biometrics appt where they will do a bunch of finger printing and so on.
This is a good sign up to this point. All our documents must have been in order or they would have kicked them back according to info I read.
