No your application is not on hold. You can still get an RFE before you do biometrics. But yes the real processing begins after you do biometrics.

I had to wait 3 weeks too!

I got my biometrics letter yesterday. I walked in to the Brooklyn office this afternoon (about 2pm) and did it in about 10 mins. The place was deserted. They didn't ask me for an excuse as to why I couldn't make my appointed time, just took my form and waived me through.

It sounds like there is a lot of variance from office to office when it comes to allowing walk-ins.

4/1/13: i-130/i-485/i-765 packet sent
4/11/2013: Received notification email
4/15/2013: Received hard copy of NOA

5/2/2013: Testing and interview scheduling email

5/5/2013: EAD card production

5/13/2013: EAD card received
