Does it take over a week to get the Biometrics letter?

You normally get it a week after you got your NOA1s in the mail.

Got NOAs from text and emails last week, all four of them (I-765, I-485, I-131, and I-130). Today I have received 3 NOAs in mail, but missing the one for I-765. Hope it is still on its ways and won't get lost. 

congratulations and I am thinking the last mail will drop in your mail before weekend. good luck.

It actually depends on how busy your local office is and how soon they can schedule an appointment for you. You will generally get the notice around 2 weeks before your appointment date so you can make necessary arrangements. I wouldn't be set on the "one week after Paper NOA1 were received", as always, it depends on cases and it doesn't mean something is wrong if it takes longer than that.

No, unfortunately it won't be updated online, you will receive the notice by mail only.

guys i have a question...sorry if someone else already asked. Is there any difference in mail delivery timing between ups and usps?

[Becci391 339]

It doesn't matter. Just make sure you send the package as priority mail with delivery confirmation and that you can track it.

I sent documents with both, USPS and UPS and I haven't had any problems with them.

ok! Thanks Becci. i sent via usps the lady didn't offer the option of priority mail though. i told her i wanted a tracking number. she handed me a green sheet that i filled and she told me i should receive that same sheet in my mail, it will confirm that my package was received. Well maybe that was the priority mail? i feel like a child learning to live in adults worlds! haha.. new country, language challenge, processes...heavy! haha

USPS actually has big white-red envelopes where PRIORITY MAIL is printed on them. I always use them and I normally pay $ 6,65. And those envelopes (PRIORITY MAIL or PRIORITY MAIL EXPRESS) include tracking. The difference is that PRIORITY MAIL EXPRESS is more expensive (around $24).

What you got is a return receipt.
