I'd love to try an early walk in, but the USCIS site says Philadelphia is Appointment only. Should I try anyway?

Also, when do RFE's get issued? I'd hate to think they'd wait till after my Bio appointment to issue me the I864 RFE.. that'd be a waste of time.

I'd love to try an early walk in, but the USCIS site says Philadelphia is Appointment only. Should I try anyway?

I'm not sure, but I'm guessing all USCIS offices are really by appointment only. Exceptions being emergencies and military personnel. Many people have attempted walk-ins, in offices known to be appointment only, and have been successful.

I doesn't hurt, I suppose, if you're near an ASC office.

Also, when do RFE's get issued? I'd hate to think they'd wait till after my Bio appointment to issue me the I864 RFE.. that'd be a waste of time.

RFEs can be issued at any time of the process, from what I hear. Having a biometrics appointment completed doesn't exclude the possibility of an RFE issuance.

Are you expecting an RFE for your I-864?

Yeah, because I didn't submit one. hahah.

I neglected to do it, because I am supporting myself financially, so my wife isn't the financially responsible one even though I'm the intending immigrant.

Oh, I see. Yeah, you'll definitely be issued an RFE for the missing I-864. However, it will not be a complete waste of time, only a small delay. In the meantime, you can prepare your I-864 with its supporting documents. You'll have it ready to send with the RFE when it arrives. :yes:

Howdy all...didn't think I'd make it online today but just had to come share our news!

We attempted a walk-in here in San Antonio and it was successful!! So, biometrics is done 13 days early! :dance:

And if that wasn't enough good news....just got online and had an email from USCIS .... We got transferred to CSC yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!! YYEEEHHHAAWWW!!! :dance: Needless to say I screamed and scared not only my hubby and daughter but our cats too... :lol::blush:

Congrats to those who were also successful with their walk-ins! It's such a relief to have that done already!

Welcome to the new Feb filers....hope your journey is swift! (F)

Danu - Would you mind updating us on the spreadsheet? Thanks!

GIRRRRRRL!! *SUPER BIG HUGS* and HOW jealous am I?!!!

:dance:

Welcome to all the new Feb. Family members, and hope everyone else is alright, got your NOA1s and cashed checks and Biometrics done without having to tell security to F***k off. :whistle:

I know I won't get transferred just because of our location, but I'm hoping our interview comes quickly :D

I don't understand though....why would it make any difference if you live in CA or not? Those that live there should have every right to have their cases transferred as the rest of us do.....darn USCIS... :angry:

I think its because its one of the states with a lot of illegal immigrants in it. Theres a lot of people who try to adjust from other ways of entering the country, and as such all of us end up with an interview so they can't say they are picking on any specific group or type of application for further scruteny. *shrug*

Cammie, the worst problem is I dont have a mail key yet, so I have to rely on our roommate to go check the mail. If it was me I would be checking it compulsively every day!

I have a question...

Since I am not allowed to work in US yet, can I work for someone as freelancer who does not live in US? Earn pesos not dollars.

Aw man, so you're saying Californian residents usually get interviews because of all the illegals?

What a bummer.

I still hope for a CSC transfer.
