Still waiting for my biometric. My NOA1 arrived on March 23rd. @TwoChickies, we seem pretty aligned, any news over there? I can't deal with this stress....

Good Luck Everybody!

Are we those lucky people whose packages were delivered during the time that USPS system was down??? People who mailed out their documents later than us already got receipts based on the spreadsheet... :wacko:

We've received our NOA1s, we're waiting on the biometrics appointment letter. Sorry to hear you haven't received your NOA1 yet, but because it's VSC I wouldn't worry too much, you'll probably get it sometime this week.

I sent out my package to Vermont center on 3/23. Check still hasn't been cashed yet. Should I be concerned?

Hi There, so I am in the same situation as you are so it makes me feel better that its not just my package that is delayed. My package was received by Vermont on 3/25. Check has not cleared yet and no NOA1 letter! They must be running behind or something! I added my timeline info to the spreadsheet and will keep it updated as activities happen.

Does anyone know how long this process will take now after biometrics? Another 5-6 months or so?

Seems the consensus nowadays is about 8-12 months for most cases, after NOA-1 ?

NOA-1 date, it's what VJ tracks on.

It seems CSC is now processing late May 2016 petitions, so about 10 months.

VSC is at 14 months (early Feb 2016 petitions)

Unless a lot of people do not update their timelines, VJ processing has it at around 10 months for CSC, 14 for VSC.

Yes, it seems there are now people who file their N-400 at the 12 month mark, to force processing of the I-751.
