2nd Biometrics appointment- 6 MONTHS later?

[Bibi and Beebti 4]

Hi everyone,

We applied for removal of conditions (I-751) in late January 2013, and within days got an NOA Extension letter for 1 year. Then I went to get my biometrics done in mid-February 2013 I haven't heard from USCIS since, but I knew my fingerprints had failed, as they sometimes do at the USCIS (surprisingly not at other departments).

Now- 5 months after my last biometrics appointment I received an NOA to go back for a 2nd biometrics appointment in mid-August. Has anyone been through this during their removal of conditions ?

We have planned travels to see my family in October, and I'm worried that if they require us to come in for an interview we'll miss it. I'm curious if others had to wait this long for a 2nd biometrics appointment, and if so how much longer did you wait for your interview or green card ?

Thanks!

Find yourself lucky, I waited 9 months before i got a RFE for new fingerprints except instead of a new Bio appointment they made me go get one from my local fingerprint place (50 dollars later).

I just put in a service request on friday and it seems I was approved after 5 weeks.

Hi there, thanks for your quick response. I just want to make sure I understand what happened with you....you mean you were approved within 5 weeks of submitting your I-751 and your first set of fingerprints.......but never knew about it and instead got another notice to get your biometrics done

What is a service request by the way ?

No .

I applied for I751 in august 2013,

did my biometrics in Sept 2012,

May 2013 was told new fingerprints were needed

June 2013 sent in fingerprints.

July 11th 2013 called to see why it was taking so long .

Today I revieced an email referencing my phone call on Friday saying my greencard was in production now. So five weeks since I sent my new prints to my approval

Oh ok I misunderstood initially, but Wow that really was a long while ! Well...Congratulations !!! thanks for sharing your timeline and story it gives me hope that after the 2nd appointment it'll be weeks instead of more months again for an interview/approval.
