Biometrics appt received-now what to expect?

[criandjen 0]

Today we received the I-797 with our appointment for the biometrics for my husband. Our question is this: shouldn't we have also received some kind of 'receipt' stating that our removal of conditions was being processed, to accompany the expired greencard, in case my husband has to travel back to Italy?

Also, what have been people's experience with this process? Have some people just had the biometrics and then in a few months received their greencard? Or is it common that USCIS request more information or an interview? I read here that some people have had a few biometrics done...why would that be? Any information about what we should expect next would be appreciated. Thank you!

1) yes you should have received an NOA 1 extending the card

2) maybe 10% are interviewed

3) Requests for additional evidence are not uncommon

4) multiple biometrics are caused by poor "scans" of the fingers causing the prints to me not machine readable

Thanks for your reply...will the NOA 1 card arrive separately or should it have arrived with the I-797?

It should have arrived with the biometrics letter. Make an infopass appointment and ask to stamp the passport. That stamp is equal to the NOA 1 letter.

It should have arrived separately. We received the NOA1 and then a couple weeks later received the biometrics appointment letter.
