Thanks :).Unfortunately,no biometrics appointment letter came so I called USCIS for follow-up.They made a service request about it and told me that if I don't receive the letter within 15 days,then I should call them back. Hoping for the biometrics appointment letter to arrive this time. :bonk: :bonk: :bonk:

I hope you get the letter either today or tomorrow so that you won't have to call them on Friday. If no such luck ... Let me know how the phone call went and what they said :) I wish you the very best. Good luck!

Assuming an approval on the day that would be yet another approval under 3 months.

Did you ever receive a notification that your case had been transferred from the NBC to your local office? I didn't know if they tell you or it's just transferred without you knowing about it.

At this point I think I'm safe from RFEs (probably) so am just waiting on EAD production / interview notice. I'm thinking perhaps EAD production next week and maybe an interview notice the week after that.

Glad to hear of your good news :)

I am so grateful for that quick turnaround...hopefully it will go smoothly.

I didn't get any notifications other than the NOAs, Biometrics and now the interview. I thought for sure I would get an RFE for submitting a short form birth certificate instead of a long one (common Canadian problem) but nothing has surfaced of that sort. I'm sure you are good too. I keep all of the filers in my thoughts and prayers. :)

About 3X/daily though I have USCIS email updates

I had also heard of the short form / long form birth certificate issue. I brought my short form to the US with me but had to send off to the General Register Office in the UK to receive a certified copy of my long form (which I made a copy of and submitted with my application).

Congrats to those who have received those interview letters :star:.... I was able to get all my information, as well as my Mother to sponsor my Husband, so we will be mailing off his RFE on Monday. I made an attempt to mail it off today, but the post office was already closed :angry:. Won't be able to do it tomorrow because I'll be at work, so we'll just have to wait. I hope that once we mail it off everything continues to move at a fast rate. I would love for Hubby to be able to drive us out of state for our Family Reunion in July lol :D
