I 751 Removal of Conditions August 2017 Filer Waiting on Biometrics

[Musickane1 0]

Hello everyone,

 

I sent in my petition to remove conditions on my permanent residence card to the California Service Center on August 6th, 2017. I received my NOA1 in the mail on August 14th and have been waiting on my Biometrics letter since. Is this an unusual amount of time to wait for a Biometrics appointment, more than a month after I filed my papers?

Just wanted to know if anyone else was in the same boat with a similar timeline.

Thanks!

This is not unusual. CSC is backed up and it seems to take a long time for everything.

That's relieving to hear actually. I was afraid I might have received the mail but accidentally threw it out or something terrible. 

I have seen some people can track their green card progress through USCIS's website. Is that possible without the Receipt Number from the Biometrics letter?

No, it won't accept the number on your NOA. There's another number (associated with CR-89 or something like that) on the Biometrics letter, and that's the one you have to use. (Not that it will help, because it will keep saying "My Case Has Been Received" until they are actually producing your card.)

As you can see in my signature, I filed at CSC and it took a month from when they received my I-751 to get my biometrics letter. But given that I sent it regular mail, it was 51 days after I sent my application to when the biometrics letter arrived.
