yes they are 2 seperate letters. sounds to me like your letter got either lost in the mail, sent to a wrong adress or simply not sent yet. the last option would make almost no sense to me tho

well then I have none of my NOAs, but I have my biometrics appointment. I don't think they were sent to the wrong address because the appointment sheet came just fine. I'm VERY concerned now. maybe I'm one of those cases that don't ever get my NOA hard copies?

Sounds like it. It was someone recently who went through that, but I can't think who it is. Anyway, they called and they were told not to worry, since they got the biometrics letter, I think.

I'll see if I can find who it is. Anyway, I don't think you need to worry, as long as you get mail from USCIS and the post office isn't sending it back to them.

thanks. I do have three case numbers to track though, and the cheques were cashed, so that's a real good sign they have my paperwork.

Yes, clearly they have your paperwork. You don't need the hardcopy NOAs for anything. As long as you're receiving mail from them, I wouldn't be too worried. If you'd never gotten anything in the mail from them, I'd be worried that the post office wasn't delivering, for some reason.

nope. still waiting on two NOAs, though I'm not TOO concerned because I have the NOA for my 485 with biometrics appointment. how likely is a walk-in successful?

This same thing has happened to us. We have an appointment letter but no NOAs. I have the case numbers from the text messages, but no actual physical NOAs at all.

yeah. I have my biometrics appointment letter and I think that's good enough.

very interesting. I only opted for email notification and I received three for the three forms that I sent in .. but no hard copy NOAs.

urgh I'm torn. I'm tempted to try for a walk-in, but if that is unsuccessful, I don't want to have had to take two days off work to get it done.

by the way, is the I-485 NOA different from the biometrics appointment sheet? Because I only have the "appointment sheet".

We just got the Biometrics Notice (YAY!!!) dated 8/8 today but still no hard copy NOA.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

I received an interview notice today for sept 12 - had done a walk in biometrics so it seems to have sped up the process!!

Congratualtions! We seem to be running pretty identical time lines so hopefully something similar will happen to mine! Although, I imagine San Jose is obviously working through things a lot faster than here in LA (I'm hoping being just outside of the main LA office will help!)

And only a month to the interview? Thats great news, at least youre not going to be waiting around for months and months!
