I sent a letter to reschedule my biometrics appointment, today I received a response stating that I'm actually NOT required to go for biometrics!

NIce!

I am starting to think that USCIS is indecisive about my biometric requirements!

did you receive Biometrics letter?

[charmed2006 31]

why is my Biometrics info not updated on my Online status? has anyone gotten any update online?

[Lila93 2]

My NOA1 is June 6th and now over 3 months later I still haven't received my biometrics appointment yet. It doesn't matter to me since I'm going to be outside the country until around March but I'm starting to wonder if I will ever get my new greencard.

When I try to check my status online it still says that it can't be found....

just got a notice today that they don't need me to take a biometrics test and they will use the previously taken test. Finally some good news after three months. 

 

Wondering what's next step? Will it be interview? Has someone else received the same notice know what we can expect next?

Just wondering, did they give u an actual tracking number for your case on that notice?  I know people get numbers from bio letters, but don't know if they give it if you are not required for bio... It's been almost 2 months for me and my son waiting for bio and nothing, just want to be prepared in case we get the same.

Hi, guys. 

 

It's been awhile since i posted here - was in my home country for almost 4 weeks.. Well, got back last Friday night and already miss the time I spent in Ukraine. .  

Anyway,  just wanted to share my experience, traveling with an Extension Letter and flying through Canada on my way back.

So, as always, Lufthansa is the best and obviously,  knows what they are doing  Also - knowledgeable what an Extension Letter stands for, so no problem AT ALL, form the beginning to the end.

 

Air Canada - the same (I had a "combo" for my return flight - Lufthansa & Air Canada).

 

The only thing - if you are not a Canadian, but you are a US resident, you have to apply for eTA (electronic Travel Authorization) to be able to make it through Canada. It costs $7, and takes 5 minutes -  from submission of your on-line application to actual decision. 

 

Also, I had to go through US custom in Toronto, .. well, actually  through two customs, Canadian and US.   Good thing about this - you don't have to pick up your luggage there as you do at your first stop in the US. In Canada it's taken care of - you just have to worry about going through customs and  not being late for your next flight

Thanks for sharing your experience.

 

I'll be traveling to Mexico in about a month, I'm not really worried about arriving to customs in the US, but worried more about before I board my plane in Mexico, what can I do if they don't recognize my letter?

They should

 

My main concern was also not about going through US or German or Canadian customs, but to get out of my home country...

I think mostly it depends on an Air Company you use. I did some research before my trip and kinda got an idea that Lufthansa should be fine with an Ext.Letter. The same with Air Canada.

 

You can have this guide printed, with you. just in case.

That's a great document! I'll save it on my phone and maybe print it just in case.

Hey guys,

 

i mailed mine Tuesday thinking it would arrive Friday but looks like it might arrive today. I'm hoping it won't as our date doesn't open until tomorrow and don't want it returned.

 

Also a little worried as I dates it a couple days ago. But surely that's okay? Why would I date my paperwork for the day it arrives, right? I prepped everything last week so I dated it then...  

 

Any ideas?

Husband's NOA1 date was 7/25/2017. Haven't received Biometrics. Called yesterday and was told they would put in a request to schedule an appointment. Was told to call back if we haven't heard anything by October 12th
