Does anyone know if people ever get the 10 year GC without being required to go for biometrics after filing an I-751?

Thanks,

Adam

Never heard on this forum. If this is a case-might be an error on CIS side. They send bio NOA quite fast and most cases get touched only after biometrics are done.

Haven't heard of any yet. The biometrics is actually needed for a new round of finger print/name check. So, it is very doubtful that they'd approve without biometrics.

Woh, that case is completely strange. Nancy also got a reminder letter for I-751. A lot of folks dont get even NOA1.

So, anything could happen. I had impression that clearance is a must for I-30/I-485 and N-400 and have to be for I-751. Not so "have to be done".

Second thought. Reading about that reminder letter in Nancy case, made me think that USBIS have just lost the contents of her file soon after they accepted it for process. Could be that somebody at USBIS also covered up this mess and assumed that she did bio and they have just lost it (because of timing-when she sent back the copy of the reminder, it was the normal time for bio done). I would say that something just went wrong in her case but to her advantage (Nancy's).
