How long for Appointment Letter

[melliemel 0]

Quick question. I received my NOA1 o April 7 and have not received anything else since. I am waiting for my appointment for fingerprinting etc...how long after for Vermont Service Center does it usually take?

Thanks,

Melanie

VSC is very messed up these days.

You should have received a biometrics notice already. Most people receive the appointment letter within a month of the initial NOA letter. Don't let this go because if you never go to biometrics they may consider your application "abandoned" and start a deportation process. I know that sounds alarmist, but that's how serious biometrics are (in the extreme).

At least call the USCIS Customer "Service" to find out what happened.

And you are not likely alone in this situation. There was some kind of problem a while back where VSC apparently could not tell if they had sent out NOAs to all I-751 applicants. Since they could not tell what they had done, they sent EVERYONE a duplicate NOA to be sure that people had their one-year extension paper.

I expect the same thing is going on with biometrics. Plus there is always the simple case where a letter from USCIS gets lost or misdelivered in the mail.

Call and find out.

Except they didn't send duplicate NOAs to everyone either because there are quite a number of us who have never received it. I even called and escalated the call to an Immigration officer who said they would send out a copy - and that has never arrived either. Yes, VSC is vastly overloaded and I would definitely call and speak to the Immigration Officer about not getting your biometrics appointment yet. Good luck.
