Our biometric appt was on 07/02/14 and our case was updated on 07/11/14, so it only took 9 days (5/6 business days since 4th of July was in the mix) Pretty fast!! Totally not sure how soon it will be scheduled yet though...fingers crossed for soon! :)

That was fast. Congrats!

At least they don't waived the interview since many of filers are still waiting from last year to get approved their green card after received waiver interview letter.

Just put in a request to have my EAD expedited. Was told I would hear back in 5days, quite excited yet not raising my hopes at all. Let's see how it all plays out...

Good luck and let us know how the result is.

Hi everyone.. How can I have my EAD fast? I have job offer pending..

There was a post from Kitthekat about expedite an EAD. I also have 2 jobs offer pending but I told employers that I only can work after at least I have my EAD. But I guess you can only request expedite after done with the biometric.

Just a quick question; that I'm pretty sure I know the answer to but: Traveling within USA with my passport shouldn't be a problem? Since the passport is in my maiden name, should I just use that when I buy a plane ticket?

Which USCIS local office they set for your biometric appointment? You always can try early walk-ins. But, bear in mind most of times they will refused. If the local office close to your place, it won't harm to try. My husband and I need to drive 3 hours each way go to Miami for my biometric appointment. I won't risk go there thinking will waste of our time if we do early walk-ins biometric and they will denied us.

Seems like the USCIS do actually work every once in a while. They received the RFE last friday and this morning it was updated to RFE response review. Sure hope that the officer is satisfied with the response and this can move on further down the line.

i don't think USCIS sends out text/email notifications about biometrics, because you need the appointment letter they send by post anyway to get in the building.

oops just realised you might have meant text/email notifications about NOA1. yeah...their system is hit and miss. :(

Biometrics appointment update - July 15, 2014:

Just came from a successful walk-in at New York - Varick Street office. My appointment was set for July 23.

It was a good tip to go in the afternoon, there were barely a handful of people in the place. I arrived at 1:30 pm. There was no queue for me, my prints and photo were taken as soon as I finished filling up their form (for the usual personal information). I was there maybe 10 minutes total.

Three (3) people checked my appointment letter, the last guy even drew a circle around the appointment date and time. No one questioned why I was there 1 week ahead of schedule.

Yeah, I see how it sounded confusion. Yes, we haven't received notifications of NOA1. It's ok though, now that we have the paper version. But it just means, that I'm logging on the website more often to check if there's any updates :dancing:
