My wife and I are doing an AOS from F-1 (education) visa to conditional residency and have filed I-485, I-130 which were received at Chicago lockbox with received date on NOA of May 29, 2012. They were both accepted and so far we have not got any requests for more info.

Now June 30 and still no biometry appt notice. We've called USCIS a few times and 3 days ago told "30 days"; call on June 28. So we called yesterday/June 29 (31 days since NOA receive date) and the woman said 30 days clock did not start until WE received the NOA in the mail from USCIS which was on or about June 3. The USCIS woman said call back in a week and then they could initiate an inquiry.

This bothers me as most all the visajourney timelines I'm reading on AOS and biometry appts are within a few weeks and I'm concerned the biometry appt might have been lost in the mail with no clarification from USCIS thus far AND that we might be missing an appt already made and thus delaying the application on the I-485.

Please, any comments would be appreciated.

It is possible your local office has too many people needing biometrics, so they have not sent your letter out yet. Nevertheless, I would continue to follow up with uscis just in case it gets lost in the mail somewhere. You should be receiving something soon. Good luck!

Agreed, your local ASC is likely backlogged, just hang in there-- you will hear something soon.

Follow up within the week as suggested.
