Still no new "touches" for me. Bah humbug! If I'd known this was going to be the case, I'd have waited to do my biometrics after getting my hair cut, so I'd at least have a cute picture on my EAD and green card. :-)

Awww! I want to get my hair done too before biometrics - I definitely have the time (8 days to go - not that i'm counting or anything!) but moneywise am waiting to get it done nice for Christmas... Hmmm I wonder how flattering those USCIS cameras are.

I'm sure they'll get moving on your EAD soon...

Ooh, trust me, they are not flattering. Maybe you will get a nice lady, like I did, to take your fingerprints/picture, though, who will show you your picture and let you change it if you don't like it. Mine was horrendous, but I realized it probably wouldn't look any better the second time around. At least this is only for the conditional permanent resident card, and I can get rid of it after two years!

Still no touches for me either. I feel like we'll have to wait for a while to see a new update. I was really excited when I saw one touch after another in two days. But hey, I think we should still be OK.

Can somebody please explain to me what does it mean when you all say documents have been ¨touched¨ I've yet to undestand that concept. I hope turkey day was good for you!!!

forgot to ask this as well: can you do a walk in for your biometrics appointment?

Touches mean updates. When you log in your account on uscis.gov., you can check your case status. Every time USCIS updates yor case, it is called touches.

Hope this helps.

Hey Noirdior,

It all depends on your local ASC. Some allow walk ins, others don't. Mine unfortunately told me they will not take anyone early. But others were a lot more lucky. It's worth a try if the office isn't too much out of your way. Good Luck

I received my Biometrics appointment letter today, woop woop!!!! It's scheduled for 10 December @ 2pm, 20mins down the road, yay!!

My hubby and I were planning a leisurely day for tomorrow since we're both free from school/work... going for a nice long bike ride then I might convince him that we should try and get this bio app. out the way by attempting a walk-in... atleast also if it fails it does fall on a convenient day and time when I don't have class... and final exams coming up next week!

Marie, our bio app dates are so close! My pleading letter that I had to send for the AP document application must have worked wonders, yay!

That is a great news. It is exciting to hear new updates.

Also, It would be great if you can do a walk-in. I did mine the day after I received the letter. I had a day off and took advantage of it. Good luck!

OMG our bios are like 25 hours apart! Congrats on getting the letter and good luck tomorrow with the walk in ( i'm sure you'll convince your hubby ) Let us know how it goes... Fingers crossed for you

[FortLaudy 10]

I like these "touches" it usually means a piece of paper should be received in the mail shortly after, yay!

Dang, you girls were spot on about complaining about your hairdo's etc., lol... I defintely wanted to get to the hairdresser's before the bio app... oh well as someone mentioned before, it's just a temporary card, and I'll just suck it up and make the best of the hair situation tomorrow and get it over with, lol

You might as well attempt a walk-in tomorrow if you have the day off and if the appointment center is so close to your place. It doesn't seem like you have much to lose really. Congratulations, once again, on receiving that letter!

Hey everybody! First I want to thank all of you for letting me know about walk ins for the biometrics appointment as well as what ¨touches¨ meant. Trust me, English isn't my mother tongue. I would also like to congratulate Shani 682, Congrats Shani!!! Good luck to everybody!!

Awww Noirdior, Sorry to hear that, that sucks. I'm sure the RFE will be something easy to solve. Most seem to be I-864 related. You might want to look through the October filers thread to see what some of their RFE's were. Hope you get the mail soon... Waiting for it - is probably the worst part
