Why? Every office is different and each case is different. It means nothing. Posting in your respective case filers group would be better.

So bios are not conducted within 30 days of filing AOS?

You should check the December 2011/January 2012 AOS filing threads and read the signatures of the posters in there. It should give you an idea of how long people are waiting to reach certain steps.

Not always no. For a while there NOA1's were taking a month to receive so of course that set the biometrics off a bit. Like I said check the filers group for your prospective dates. It's the easiest way to know.

I don't think when you have biometrics has much if any of an effect on when your case will get transferred or sent to your local office for interview.

Finally time for AOS.......

12/22/11 Received letter for Biometrics

01/04/12 Biometrics in Phoenix

01/31/12 Received email update from USCIS saying that we've been scheduled for an interview

You are right. I was just being lazy so I wouldn't have to calculate everyone's timeline after bio but I do see an average of about 30-40 days from a few of them.

Can i also add that the local uscis office is a factor as well, like i use the timeline of filers whose on the same location as i am, just a thought. :whistle:

Why? Do you find there is that much of an extenuating factor? I'm just reviewing averages, but thanks anyway!

Local office does make a difference. The more backed up the longer it will take to get your biometrics appointment and interview if you have to have one. That's why some people get an early bio appointment while others can wait a month or more.
