No Biometrics - 3 Months

 Share

3 posts in this topic

Recommended Posts

ROC, Noa 1 on Sept. 29 and still no biometrics appt. as of yet. Called USCIS Nov. 13 and initiated a service request. Received an email from them 2 weeks later saying basically that they are experiencing delays and to be assured that my wife's name (petitioner) has been added to the electronic scheduling system and we would receive a letter when an appointment has been made. I feel concerned that this is taking so long even though the reply from them did not indicate any problems on our end. Is there anyone else who has experienced such a delay? It seems most people receive biometrics within a month? Is there anything else we should try at this point? Or just sit back and wait? I feel like i should try something else but not sure what to do. By the way: CSC. One concern is that we live on a newer street and we along with our neighbors have experienced some issues with mail being mixed up. So i am a bit paranoid that we might miss the appointment letter. I wish they would email notification of the biometrics as well. It's surprising to me that with all the current technology that they can't do this.

We moved about two years ago and have received mail from the USCIS at our current address. It's not been a problem so far but we have had sporadic mixups on our street. The letter we received from USCIS in response to our service request just stated that they are experiencing a delay.

Sometimes it takes a little longer. You can call again and ask to speak to a ISO as well.
