I haven't heard anything about the Bio (I filed on 4/13), should I call USCIS??

I received NOA on 4/17. No bio yet too. This appears to be a common occurrence. I called USCIS today and placed a service request to check the status of my application. It didn't take long to connect with a CSR (approx. 3 minutes). Let's hope that no bio letter = no need to drive to ASC center.

For those "no bio is needed", did they receive a letter saying no-bio or, they doesn't receive the bio letter at all?

It appears they only get this notice when they request the bio letter when its late. Did you get a tier 2 support person and get your case number?

Tier 2 people can see deatails of your Application. When you call USCIS, you have to specifically ask for transferring your call to Tier 2 due to not receiving your BIO letter and getting your case #. Don't forget to ask for your case #.

@Nevin , @caryh & @ Sl2014 - You guys made my day. I laughed out loud after seeing your funny comments.

About an hour ago after nearly 3 hours on hold, I got the my case number. When I called I told them I was on hold with a Tier 2 and my cell phone battery died so if you could please reconnect me and the agent said no problem but I waited so long. I told them I got the email saying that I don't need to report to ASC because they uploaded my wife's prior biometrics. She just told me from now you just wait up to 6 months from date filed. As long you got the NOA1 stating you've been extended one year, take your Green Card and this updated NOA1 notice when travelling.

Thats good to know. Atleast you have your case# and you can check your status online.

Goodluck!

Thanks to everyone here for sharing your experiences. It really helped me out a lot. Looks like California has a massive backlog that some petitions they're uploading prior biometrics so you don't have to go to ASC. The key is to get on the line with a Tier 2 service agent. Be demanding like what others have said or just make up a story and tell them you were on with a Tier 2 agent and your connection was lost or your cell battery died so to please reconnect you and transfer the call and they'll do it. Both times that we tried the lady agent was nice. The other day a man answered and he was rude, stating that we can't transfer the call due to loaded calls for to leave your name/number and someone will call back in 3-5 days. The first call my wife was on hold over an hour and hung up to eat lunch. In the afternoon I called and was on hold for 3 hours. I put my speaker phone on while I rested and played Candy Crush.

I'm very happy for you. At least you get your case #. You have to be lucky and tricky in order to be connected from tier1-tier2. You did an excellent job.

Everyone who didn't get their BIO letter yet please follow ChooChooPanda's trick to be connect to Tier 2 representative in order to get your Case #.

Wait! Everyone should have a different story.

I'll say "my dog died when i was on call with tier2 person. I just finished the funeral and came back. Could you directly connect me to tier 3 please"
