Quick question for those who already got the appointment letter...did you guys see any update on your case status on USCIS website before getting the appointment letter? I was thinking if they would update the status as "biometrics appointment sent" or something like that...It's been a week since the texts and I didn't get anything...last update was 06/19! :mellow: 

How do I know if my case was transferred to the office near me?

Thank you in advance!

 

I got my biometrics appointment letter on 06/24, and status on I-485 changed from "case was received" to "fingerprint fee was received". I'm not really sure if it happened before I got the letter but the day I got it I checked it and it said that.  I got the appointment letter a week and half after the texts. Hope it helps :)

My case status was always "Biometrics Fee Received" on the website. It never changed ever since I got my receipts. I'm sure you'll get your NOAs and biometrics soon! Don't worry. 😊 The timeline for paper NOAs can be up to a week or two.

Just like @niknik, my case still says "Fingerprint Fee Was Received."  No update since then even though I got my appointment letter & Notice to Applicant.  The hard copy letters just came in the mail without email/sms notifications.  

 

Maybe, you can sign-up on myUSPS Informed Delivery to see which mail are being delivered to your address.  I signed up for my USC spouse and it works.  From now on, I'll know when USCIS will mail notices to me. Please see the thread below for more details.  Hope this helps. :)

After biometric appointment there is a long wait of 60+ days unless an expedited EAD was requested, so it's going to be a long couple of months...

 

I think it would be a good idea for everyone in June 2017 filers to post an updated timeline everytime we get an update so we can all compare our timelines with each other.

Hi all!

 

I received 3 receipts in the post a couple of days ago, now I am waiting for the biometric letter.

 

Does anyone know where I can find the location I will have the biometric appointment at? I really hope there's one in Spokane because that is only about 15 minutes away!

 

Thanks!

I tried signing up using my details but USPS can't verify my identity as well. Haha! So I just updated my account to hubby's and it worked. You can try again. Just click the button. You don't need to wait.

For those who were wondering, from the moment USCIS accept an I-485 (Adjustment of Status) it gives valid lawful status in the U.S. while application is being processed or pending.

Hi all!

 

I received 3 receipts in the post a couple of days ago, now I am waiting for the biometric letter.

 

Does anyone know where I can find the location I will have the biometric appointment at? I really hope there's one in Spokane because that is only about 15 minutes away!

 

Thanks!
