Yay! I got my hardcopy receipt notices (NOA1) in the mail today! :dancing: How long does it take before you get the biometrics appointment notice or RFE (if any)? Crossing my fingers that I won't get RFE. So anxious now.

Hey,

It is really a random question, but....

Does anyone know at what point do USCIS send our docs to local offices?

It's unpredictable, there's no indication of a timeframe

Yay! I got my hardcopy receipt notices (NOA1) in the mail today! :dancing: How long does it take before you get the biometrics appointment notice or RFE (if any)? Crossing my fingers that I won't get RFE. So anxious now.

Usually after a week of receiving the receipt notices by mail. Can take a bit longer though and it's no problem, mine took 3 weeks or so.

Rfes can be received even on the day of the interview, after it when the officer is reviewing the papers... Until the green card is in hand there's a chance of rfe.

Got the hard copy today, the notice is dated August 13. Still nothing on the app or website; just an error.

This error:

Good to hear you're having a progress in your caswe. I am now waiting for my NOA to come in the mail too. ? The biometrics letter is also prertty random in terms of when tl received it. As what I've notice in different experiences here, some got their bio letter as early as 3 days after they received their paper NOAs. Other took 6 days and others have it 2 upto 3 weeks ar their NOA arrived. I hope you get yours early!☺☺☺

I doubt it would cause any harm but since you can print another one with the right info, why not do it? I don't understand why the 5 business days wait you mentioned

I have tried to enter the Receipt number from the USCIS text notification. I was not able to access the information on their website. It didn't recognize the Case number due to a Validation error message.

The six texts I received from my case on August 3rd. I'm guessing some of you are experiencing the same thing? :unsure:

Yes. We just tried all 6 of our numbers. Received validation error for all 6. I think it takes a while for them to get it entered into the online status tool. I would not stress over it at this point. I'm just going to wait a week and try again.
