Waiting Biometric Appointment

 Share

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I filed (I-752) on February 1st, 2016 through California Service Center and they received my application with supporting documents on February 3rd, 2016 then I received my NOA1 on February 8th, 2016. Till now I did not get any biometric appointment, so I called customer service on April 5th, 2016 and the agent submitted reuqest for me then I got response on April 13th, 2016 saying:

"We are unfortunately experiencing s longer processing period than what is reflected on your Form I-751 Receipt Notice. Please know that your name has been electronically added to the appointment scheduler. You will receive an ASC appointment notice by mail once an appointment date has been established for you"

Does anyone know when I'll be expecting to get the letter, because I received the email from CSC on April 13, 2016 but today's date April 28, 2016 and did not receive anything yet? Is anyone know once they put the name on the scheduler how many days I should wait to receive the biometric appointment?

I will appreciate any help.

We went through the same thing with my wife (she's the GC holder) . We also received the exact same message when we inquired. Her biometric appointment took exactly 6 months to the day! So dont worry about it, you will get it but it may take a long while. We never did find out why it took so long but it does happen.

Thank you. I appreciated. but when she did the biometric after 6 months. Does she take too long to get approved after 6 months?

I have the same question, not sure. We are at 7 months now with no approval yet. Hopefully the delay in biometrics doesn't cause a long delay in processing
