Does that means I waived biometrics?

Service Request replied:

"A review of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) records indicate that your biometric information is current. USCIS will contact you if updated biometric information or any other additional information is needed to process your petition."

since I decisied travel to my country I wanted to make sure I don't have problem with my bio app because still didn't have the bio letter yet ..it s been 1 month and I called uscis to figure that out what is going on. .the first officer didn't too much and assist me to second one,, after waiting 30 minute I spoke the lady on the phone and told her what I want to know,..,she didn't help too much but she gave me the case number for tracking online our case which is good but she didn't tell me if I am going to get bio or not,,all she said to me that you should wait 6 week after submitted i751 and she said if you don't get the bio letter until end of this month go ahead to local office for stamp in your passport for travel.and added somehow if you get bio letter while you are out of country just you can reschedule it with the checking box send it letter to office...cool..still I don't know if my bio is current and also I don't know they will send me a notice letter if my bio is current,,i don't think so she put an service request even I was insist..confuse

I want to be part of this.

Just so you know I have Vermont, and my date was 5/15, my noa 5/19, my biometrics 07/12.

Thank you!

My mistake! Bio appt is 07/02!!

So, I just called to "test the waters"... Tier1 at its best: repeated the same bullshit over and over, my NOA receipt number doesn't work because "my case has not been activated yet", "please allow 30 to 45 days", "you will receive a biometrics appointment letter". I asked her to put a service request but she said "they don't offer that type of service".

Adding RILOVE11! Avi30, yes, that means your biometrics appointment is waived!

Has anyone used the e-request service to inquire about not receiving the bio letter? https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/displayNDNForm.do?entryPoint=init&sroPageType=ndn

Yes. Just gave all the details I could and got response within a day

Great! Looks like it's the same as calling them and asking them for a service request, without the hassle. :-)

I haven't gotten a biometrics app. letter either and same when I tried to check online it didn't work because the case is not been activated. Hopefully we will get a letter next week!

I'm pretty sure our biometrics appointments are waived. The NOA case number won't work, it's explained in the letter. We need the new case number that is normally in the bio letter.

[doj&kcj 0]

They will notify us through mail, email? or how we know in case the biometrics are waived?

That's the issue: we need to ask them because they don't send automatic letters/emails when biometrics are waived.

I just hope that USCIS won't request biometrics from the ones who are current when it gets closer to their approval... Their new policy is very strange to me because they are yet to give an explanation as to why someone biometric is current when their website clearly says that it's valid for 15 months. Am I the only one who is a bit concerned about this new "policy/change"?

I do. It seems that people who AOSed from the US (like K-1, F-1, B-2...) had their biometrics waived. CR-1 visas got scheduled for a biometrics appointment, probably because they never had their full biometrics taken at a ASC like us.

BUT, it looks like they stopped waiving biometrics recently. If you look at the June filers thread, everybody is currently receiving their bio letter. So it's something that started middle of April, and ended at the end of May.

As to why they did it, I don't know...

If I don't get the letter for biometrics tomorrow I will fill out an e-request service
