I-751 April 2016 Filers

[Sukie 1,447]

If I don't get biometrics letter today I'm calling the no-help line. 30+ days since NOA1.

ARGH for you. This whole process really puts us through the emotional wringer, no?

There is no receipt number on the biometrics notice. How can I check my status online? Anyone?

There are two numbers on the biometrics letter - both at the bottom, and both starting with EAC. You want "Application Number 2" at the bottom right.

Good luck.

I'm right there with you. Seems like perhaps they've stalled again after the April 27 NOA1s...

Just had my biometrics done at the Boston ASC. What an unmitigated clusterfuck! Appointment was for 11, but apparently that's a loosely applied term. Everyone gets the same time and it's first come first served. Staff were professional, but pathetically understaffed, and using totally inefficient processes. Waited over two hours past the scheduled time, all the while worried Sacha would go into labor at any minute.

Guy running the show occasionally called out random numbers, presumably because of problems with their paperwork. At one point he shouts "stick to your appointments, people, time and date are very important". All I could do was laugh. I've been here an hour and a half, mate, how about YOU clowns stick to your appointments.

If you're going to Boston or any other major city, I'd advise getting there about an hour early to get as high up in the queue as you can. And bring a good book.

Good to know. I wonder if Albany, NY will be like that. It's hard to conceive of the fact that everyone for biometrics has the same appointment slot!

Probably will, Albany has a big area to cover

Yes, a big geographic area, but not such a big population. Thank goodness all the NYC folk are not in the mix!

FINALLY got our biometrics notice in today's mail (NOA1 was dated 4/29). Appointment scheduled for June 14th.

Huge sigh of relief

Oh, no! I'm having mine done in Boston on Monday - also at 11! I'll keep that in mind. That sucks. When I first went there 2 years ago it was fine, I think.

Does anybody know which month's filers have finally gotten an interview/10-year GC? Just trying to estimate how long it will be for me!

Looks like VSC is working on August 2015. Estimate for those of us at VSC is Jan-Feb 2017. Can you believe it????

Damn! Also, I heard there has been a soaring rise in citizenship applications over here in Massachusetts.
