REMEMBER: "Date of I-751" is the date you sent your petition - NOT the date it

arrived at the service center. "NOA1 Date" is the 'Notice Date' shown on the NOA1 —

NOT the date you received it.

Biometrics on Friday -- we haven't received any notices about cancellation, so we're just going to show up and hope for the best.

BTW, I am MOST unhappy I got chopped off the new May CSC filers thread. I am one of you at heart -- it just took me too long to photocopy everything. I don't want to get disqualified on a technicality! And I don't know the June filers... I, well, I feel abandoned.

I hope I wasn't the one who chopped you off .... I just copied the last available list. If it makes you feel any better, I was mistakenly chopped once too. Sorry if it was me.

A quick question, let me know what you guys think, please.

My Bio app is scheduled for Monday the 6th, I haven't received a cancellation/rescheduled letter for my appointment, but do you think they will turn me away when I go on Monday as they have cancelled some for the 6th and if they are updating there systems from the 7th, do you think it includeds the 6th as well, and I should just do a walk in tomorrow?

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Part 5 is for any children born from the PR and USC together as well as any children that were immigrating (or immigrated after) with their Non USC parent is my interpretation. Any children of the USC that have no legal tie to the PR you do not put (mark NONE).

This seems logical to me - children of the LPR, not those of just the USC. I'd only add to what you said (for any with this situation): any children adopted by the LPR. Either way, as much as the LPRs might love their stepchildren, they aren't legally their children. For example, if something happened to me, my husband would have no legal rights to even see my children. (I won't even get started on that - not actually relevant to this discussion)

Hello everybody :)

So my biometrics appointment is scheduled for next Thursday, July 9th...

I did not receive any cancellation notice in the mail and hope it'll be open when I get there...should I be worried?

I'm in Tucson, AZ.

There was somebody here from Tucson and his appointment on July 10th got cancelled....

I really don't know what to think about any of it :(

Thanks for your help in advance.

If you did not get a cancellation notice, then you should go at the time specified in your notice.

We didn't get canceled, and are set to go on the 7th, and would go anyway even if we got a last minute cancellation.

Congratulations on the updated Bio appointment flutter! :dance:
