no update, no biometrics

[paustin 1]

Hi all, it's been more than 6 months now, and I still have not got the biometrics appointment. What's going on? Should not I be getting that soon after I filed the k1 petition?

They said i should be hearing from them by feb. 15th according to customer service, but so far nothing. no case status update no mail anything.

Well who are you? The petitioner? The beneficiary? What did you file? when? A timeline would help.

Check the flowchart for K1 -http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1flow where are you on that?

Are you under AWA too?

Petitioner here.

wait a minute, you filed a 129f as the petitioner, with the AWA waiver and they have not yet contacted you for biometrics yet and its been 6 months?

Have you attempted to contact your representative for assistance?

i'm an AWA filer, i filed my I-130 petition in nov 2010, and just did biometrics in jan 2013. to my knowledge the petitioner doesn't do biometrics, but in an AWA case its part of the process.

That is correct.

It is part of the AWA process.

My first was 7 months after the petition was accepted.

The second 2 years later exactly.

It is my understanding it will happen every 2 years during the process.

got to your appointment bring your docs it tell you to bring.

They will finger print you and you are gone in less than 20 mins

The know nothing of your case and will most likely will not answer any questions.
