I-751 August filers, 2010

[the2ofus 0]

Are we still talking about USCIS biometrics officers?????? Probably I should relocate a little more north and get my stuff done in Oakland

My experiences have been very weird with biometrics officers......

One time the guy was sharing with me how his "girl" is seeing some other guy and he's thinking about killing him.... huuuuuuh ?????????

Another time I though I got enlisted in the Army - the lady was too aggressive... I counted my fingers when I left the facility to make sure all 10 still were attached....

you had some weird experiences v333k!

I had the same officer 2yrs ago and this year, and the first year he couldn't have been more rude and "aggressive"...barely said anything. The second time I told him that I remember him, he asked if it was good or bad, and I said "not really the best". He started a pretty pleasant conversation that he ended as soon as someone entered the room, then mentioned the fact that it's not personal, it's just their policy not to talk to the "customers". Ha...funny thing he said that, as the other biometric person was having the time of her life with her "customer"...whatever! give me my green card, I don;t care about your stories or behavior, it's all part of the process!

Anyone here who's local office is Santa Ana for biometrics?

Thanks...

DO_CSC...I looked at our August list and even though some people mentioned their local office, none of them have St Ana...but there are some filers who preferred not to share their local office...who knows??maybe one of them is your lucky person! why do you ask?

I'm a September filer and havent received my biometric notice. Its going to be a month, this weekend. People before me and after me have received the notice. Just wondering if this is normal with Santa Ana.

oh wow...that sucks,but as far as I've seen it's not uncommon though.

Here is what I've found on visajourney about St Ana

St Ana Reviews on Visajourney

also, you could go under Members and use advance features to look up visajourney members that have St Ana as their local office

Good luck!

Another slow and unproductive week for August filers. Hopefully we we see some approvals next week.

Another slow and unproductive week for August filers. Hopefully we we see some approvals next week.

I hope so, there's been nothing all Sept except for one filer to CSC.

Hoping for good news this week!

Hello everyone,

I just did my early biometrics today, everything was fast and great, my appointment was on the 12th but he let me go in today. So hopefully we'll start hearing some approvals soon.

I just called USCIS as it's been over a month since I got my NOA1 and I was worried in case I'd missed my biometrics letter. The first guy I spoke to asked me a ton of seemingly random and irrelevant questions and I'm convinced he'd mistaken me for somebody else. ("Are you a lawyer? Are you in the media? Which military division does this case concern?" etc. etc.) He asked for the receipt number on my NOA1 which I know isn't recognized by the system and when he couldn't find it he put me on hold for somebody else. THANKFULLY the next guy I spoke to was extremely helpful, and actually gave me my "real" receipt number, so at least I can now track my case online. He said I hadn't missed my biometrics letter; I just hadn't been scheduled for one yet. He also said to call back if I haven't received my letter by the end of .......... November. Another 2 months just for a biometrics letter? I hope not. But I'm relieved my case is actually there, with a real case number. And for the sake of my fellow August filers who haven't yet had their biometrics letter - sit tight and hang in there.

*sigh*

I'm still waiting for my bio-letter. It's been over a month since I got my NOA (Aug 30th)

Where do I find the number in case I have to call?

We went in for our Biometrics appointment today. It was scheduled for 2:00 PM, we arrived at 1:50 and were out at 2:27. Good job USCIS!

[MarkandLada 0]

Here is what we recieved yesterday about our bio letter. Our biometrics appointment is still pending as our local ACS (Charlotte) has limited capacity. We will schedule your appointment as soon as a time becomes available. They apologized for the inconvenience and appreciate our patience. At least it is still moving along.....

[StoryAngel 4]

I'm still waiting for my bio-letter. It's been over a month since I got my NOA (Aug 30th)

Where do I find the number in case I have to call?

The 800 number is on the bottom of your NOA. You have to navigate through the automated system on the phone, but don't choose the option to input your receipt number as the one on your NOA won't work (choose "I can't find/don't have/lost my receipt number). I can't remember which options I pressed as the first time I tried to input my receipt number, then had to go back and try again. Once you get through to a real live person, make sure you have your NOA with you, and don't worry if they insist on you giving the receipt number and finding it doesn't work for them either. All I-751 applications actually get given a second receipt number, which is the one that you can use to check online. I was actually glad to get transferred as the second person was way more helpful than the first...
