Just went for my biometrics today! Everything went smoothly, it's just such a hassle to have to drive for 2 hours to do this 15 minute thing.

I guess I'm back to waiting for any updates on the cases. It's probably a good sign that I haven't received any RFEs right? right?

Well sometimes you can have your interview scheduled even before the work permit arrives because the two are handled by two different centers. The interview date depends on your local office and the work permit is processed by the center in Missouri.

Just keep checking your status. If you do not get an RFE then it will probably update to READY FOR INTERVIEW or it will give you an interview date.

If you get an RFE then it will change to RFE.

There is nothing else to it.

From reading the February thread after biometrics if we have no RFEs our case status online should change EAD card in production or approved, something like that. Then it will change to mailed and they even provide tracking number.

Next Monday I will complete 2 weeks since biometrics were done. I'm so glad I have not had any RFEs yet, anybody knows how far into the process one can be 100% sure they won't send RFEs?

You can receive an RFE at any time...even after the interview.

Hi, updating my timeline. I had my biometrics yesterday around 11am at our local office in Tucson, AZ. I brought my passport, biometric appointment letter and marriage certificate/license. The guards checked my biometric letter and passport first as well my bag without gadgets/phones then they instructed me to go on the first door on the left. The nice woman on the counter greeted me with a warm smile and she lets me first filled up the info (Name , birthday, phone #, A- reg #, USCIS receipt #s for AOS and Work Permit) then passed it . Actually, she's also the one who did my fingerprinting and photo for 10 mins. Then, she stamped the biometrics letter and told me to keep that. We were actually just 3 people on the room taking the biometrics that time. Overall experience, the Tucson office is great. Hopefully, until the end of my GC and ROC journey ;)
