Our lawyer has informed me that he has just received our receipt notices (I-797) from USCIS. This is good news to those who filed for AOS last July 2. But keep in mind that acceptance does not guarantee approval.

You will be able to adjust status if you are Section 245(i) eligible. Google "245i" to find out. I hope this helps.

Sorry, Suzanne, I would just like to clarify that the July 2nd Visa Bulletin which you are referring to has already been withdrawn by the USCIS last July 17 and the June 12 Visa Bulletin should be relied upon as the current July Bulletin. http://www.uscis.gov/files/pressrelease/VisaBulletinUpdate17Jul07.pdf http://www.uscis.gov/files/pressrelease/EBFAQ1.pdf http://www.uscis.gov/files/pressrelease/FAQ2.pdf

I trust USCIS inspite of what happened last month. If USCIS says that they are now going to accept the same applications that they were supposed to have rejected on July 2, USCIS should accept them. If they are properly filed, of course. Mine was filed on July 2. No receipt notice yet but this is due to the volume of applications being received as explained in Question 18 of the July 23 FAQ released by USCIS. http://www.uscis.gov/files/pressrelease/EBFAQ1.pdf

My I-485 was also filed on July 2 and no receipt notice yet. At least you are not alone.

According to the last paragraph of the July 17 USCIS Update applications already properly filed with USCIS will also be accepted. http://www.uscis.gov/files/pressrelease/VisaBulletinUpdate17Jul07.pdf

Thanks to Google I was able to stumble upon this link on how to fill up an FBI FD-258 fingerprint card. http://bellevuefingerprintingservice.com/BFSFAQS.html#FAQ%201
