ROC Biometrics test

[wifetobe 2]

how far apart from the your NOA1 date to when you are supposed to receive a Biometrics letter? I have seen for one couple it took 11 days from their NOA1 date and they received their bio letter. It's been 3 weeks exactly today since my NOA1 date and no biometrics notice yet . Any ideas on why they are taking a little while with this?

Thanks in advance for your response

Simple answer - it varies. Having followed the various threads, many people get the appointment letter around 2-3 weeks after the date of the NOA1 - but some get it sooner, and some have to wait longer.

It appears that a BIG factor is your local biometrics office. Again, looking at the info people have posted on here, it's unusual to get a biometrics appointment that's particularly far ahead. So if your local biometrics office is very busy, or is short on staff, or works shorter hours than other offices - they may not be able to schedule your appointment as quickly as other offices might. In which case, you may have to wait longer to receive your appointment letter.

If you haven't received your letter within 30 days of the NOA1, you can give them a call - so look on the bright side, if you still haven't heard at the end of next week you can call them.

where is your local office? others may be able to comment on their experience if they know where you will have the biometrics done.
