Is it right that once you receive your biometrics appt letter you can turn up there days earlier???

Just that i'm travelling the 2hrs to the airport this Friday so if i can do the biometrics this week rather than going back next week it would be fantastic!

Also...hehe saved all the questions! ...my address on the biometrics letter is wrong, don't know what happened as the NOA's were correct! Do i need to call them and change this or wait till i go to the Durham office?

Yes, you can go to the biometrics appt. early.

I would call about the wrong address because you would not want the EAD to go to the wrong place. I don't know if they can change it at the field office or not. Maybe someone else can offer advice.

Goodluck!

Congrats to everyone receiving NOA's and biometric's letters!! :dancing: :dancing:

We won't be home to check the mail for another 10 hours to see if we've got a transfer letter. At least no RFE yet either.

Happy waiting!

Shelly

Just wanted to say ditto on the congrats to everyone :dance: . I have looked at March and Feb spread sheets and found that its not common for K3's to get transferred so we are not expecting that, what we do hope is my husband's green card being sent after our 2nd anniversary, since then it would be a 10 year instead of a 2 year conditional one. Can you tell we are tired of USCIS yet :whistle:

Yes, you are correct, I have looked at many other K-3 files, going back a couple of years and I have not observed any so far, to get the CSC transfer, which usually means no interview.

We are in the same situation as you two, and having been married over two years now, plan on getting the 10 year GC upon completion of this process.

I think that for the K-1 filers, the USCIS gets a shot at an interview either at the first filing for AOS, or then when you go to get the permanent card, after two years.

With us K-3's, they only get one shot, so to speak, to have an interview, so I think we will stay at the NBC for adjudication, then get forwarded to our respective local office for the interview.

I am just happy to be at this stage of the process. :)

That's a good point, since K1's will not have been married before two years. I wonder how long does it take to have an interview, I hope that we could have it in July! We are in no rush just wanted to send it in before his medical expired which was in April. Its nice to see another K3er in April, Good Luck!
