Has this happened to anyone else?

Do you think it is worth trying to make an infopass appointment to see what is going on? Will they even let us?

It's been 45 days since NOA, and we still don't have a letter for a Biometrics appointment.

Our local office is the Raleigh-Durham office. Maybe someone else has experience there?

This is driving us crazy. My husband wants his EAD. We just want to get the ball rolling on this.

We got our NOA December 13th(dated Nov.8th),and didn't get any biometrics notice yet.I called little over 30 days after our application has been submited ,and the lady I spoke to said that if we don't get it within 16 days to call back.Well last Wednesday has been a week sice I called them.I am waiting until this Wednesday and I am going to call them back.But in your case I think it has been already too long so like someone else advised you,maybe you should get an infopass.Good luck!! :)

Hi - I had a similar situation where it had been over 30 days since my NOA and I had heard nothing about Biometrics... I called up the USCIS (tip: if you want to talk to a real person do not select any menu choices, eventually that will take you through to a customer service rep!) and they checked, told me their was no appointment made yet, they made a note on my account, 'a service request' to my service centre and gave me a reference number to track. I was told if I had heard nothing in 14 days to call back, but low and behold my Biometrics appointment letter arrived 3 days later! Not sure if my call sped things up, or was just a coincidence, but they were really helpful and it was nice to feel like I was taking action! Good Luck!!
