I got my NOA and biometrics this morning. The biometrics didn't ask for any pictures to take with me so who knows if they'll send me out to get some :whistle:

Anyway, hope it starts moving for others too!

I should get mine soon then too (sent to VSC on 10/29).

Question though. How long until your biometrics appointment? Do they give it to you or do you use InfoPass to schedule. Reason I ask is because my husband is about to leave (Nov. 1) for 6 weeks overseas for work. It's not something he can delay. Anyone have any experience with rescheduling?

I was sent the biometrics. It's in two weeks. But it did say this on the letter:

"If you are unable to appear at this time, you may go on any following Wednesday at the same time noted above, as long as you appear before 1.15.2007. If you do not have your biometrics taken by that date, your application will be considered abandoned."

So I would say your husband is OK to travel and he can do the biometrics when he returns.

Glad to hear this! Since I'll be sending in my I-751 at the beginning of December too. :dance:

By the way, didn't you send passport pics in with your application to lift conditions, anyway?

And when we had biometrics done for our AOS, they took our photo with a computer and digital thingy (as well as the fingerprints...

I'm assuming it'll be the same again, no? :)

Well, it could slow down again by then. They go in waves with the I-751s. Never assume anything is the same or consistent with the immigration service, no?

Yes, you send passport pics with the application, but many people have been asked to take another set with them to biometrics, AND they get their picture taken too.

I'm just gonna follow the instructions I was given. :yes:
