Hello Guys !!

I filed I-751 earlier than the 90 day period. I thought it was before the 90 days my GC expires.

The point is that 3 weeks have passes and I Still have not received my package back or any letter stating that I filed early.

When I call USCIS they ask me to wait a period of 30 days. The package was sent in regular USPS mail.

Has anybody have a similar experience I am freaking out ?

BLESSINGS AND GOOD LUCK IN EVERYTHING

I-751 Sent- October 24th, 2016

I was surprised to get my biometrics appointment letter today. I was expecting to wait a bit longer. Seems Vermont Service center is going quicker than California.

Several may filers like myself had to wait 3 months for biometrics. I wonder if the biometric delay also delays the whole case too

Nope. The biometric has really no effect on how long it takes for them to adjudicate your case. Looks like CSC is taking between 4 to 6 weeks (from NOA1 date) to schedule the biometrics right now. After that you should think about calling USCIS and making an inquiry (service request).

Still no biometrics letter, I have no idea what CSC is doing. I made a service request, but I've done that for another issue and it didn't do much. The phone rep said that if it's been 45 days, you can ask for your case number and they will transfer you through to a tier-2 agent. That usually is more productive.

Hey everybody, sorry been away for a while. School is getting so very hectic since it is almost the end of the semester. I had my biometrics appointment two weeks back, posted a review on the timeline. I checked my case status today with the biometrics case number. It just displays:

"On October 4, 2016, we received your case..., Receipt Number EACxxxxxxxxxx. We mailed you a notice describing how we will process your case. Please follow the instructions in the notice. If you do not receive your receipt notice by November 3, 2016, please call Customer Service at 1-800-375-5283. If you move, go to..."

There is no update about the biometrics I had. I see that our CSC members have not yet received their biometrics. Do not worry about it since it is not supposed to affect the case processing time. As of now, VSC is processing I-751 cases from November 2, 2015, and CSC's processing time states 6 months. So even though there may be some delay in receiving biometrics appointments, it is expected that CSC applicants will have their cases processed sooner (maybe by 6 months) than VSC. I am assuming that by the time VSC is done with my application, I will be eligible to apply for naturalization.
