Ah maybe a system glitch then - let's see when Tier 2 calls my husband back...

The strange thing is that on the egov.uscis.gov site, it says "cannot provide you with...." but shows my case history with regards to the inquiry I made back in February.

The rep called my husband back and said everything was normal - didn't know why the app would update that. Maybe a system glitch.

Just wanted to share our experience coming back into the US with 8 days left for my husband's greencard to expire. We were still able to use the automated machines -  the Officer looked at the greencard, he said that it's expiring soon and asked if we applied to remove conditions. We showed him the extension letter and he said looks good to go. Also, he suggested if we travel again we can get the passport stamped.  friendly guy in Houston!

I came back in with 1 day on the green car until it expired, the officer looked at my green card said nothing, I for whatever reason said I have the extension letter also. His reply "you're green card is still valid so I don't need to see it' I must just have a trustworthy face.

Same just happened to me 🤔.. I just got same notification right now. Next week on the 17th will be 3 months after I filed so I’m gonna do another service request for no biometrics notice.

My husband and I crossed the San Ysidro Border last weekend since we live in San Diego and he is originally from Tijuana Mexico. His green card is already expired and we crossed around 2am since we were coming back from a party. The officer was very kind and we handed him my passport card, my hubby’s expired GC and the extension letter. We then asked if he always had to have it when he crossed and he said it would be best or else they will have him go to second inspection and look up his case from there. He wasn’t clear on carrying around the letter or a copy of it in the states when I asked that though.

 @Roy&Chanel here are the missing dates from my line. Sorry, I don’t get on here too often anymore. 

 

NOA1 Issue Date - 01/26/19

NOA1 Received Date - 02/02/18

Biometrics Appt. - 03/14/18

 

Also, I checked our case on the USCIS website today and have an updated status saying that the fingerprint review is complete. Has anybody else received something similar? I don’t remember ever seeing anything like it when filing for AOS.

[Tom and SooGyeong 87]

   We are still planning to make a month-long trip to Korea, and do not want to have our plans ham-strung by the maybe/maybe not biometrics waiting game.

4 weeks of trying to get an online infopass appointment to get it done yielded nothing. It always said that no appointments were available.

  So, today we called the number, 800-375-5283 and after stepping through the [ press 1 for English; press 2 to make an appointment; press . . .. ] were surprised to be connected to a representative after only 1 or 2 minutes of waiting. I explained the No CSC Biometrics Appointments in 2018 situation (after my wife gave permission to the Rep to speak with me), as well as not being able to successfully make an online infopass appointment to get elusive biometrics behind us so that we can plan our trip and book our flights soon; (the ticket prices have gone up $200 each in the past week alone).

  We were put on hold for another 2 minutes while he looked up our case number,  and he came back with these 3 options for us:

1.) we can continue to wait without a clue in perpetuity . . .

2.) he could refile our case inquiry (from early February) which has still not been answered

3.) we can do a walk-in at the local ASC (Application Support Center) and ask to be worked in for our biometrics (he reminded us to take our NOA)

     He further stated that if we chose option (3) and were unable to be worked in, the ASC supervisor would make us an appointment and we could come back at the appointed time.

 

I pointed out to the Rep that it was stated clearly online that you cannot walk in without an appointment. He clarified that this is true Only for the local Field Office, which is the only option available to choose from when trying to book an Infopass online. He also clarified that the ASC is normally in a different location than the Field Office, and that it is at the ASC that the biometrics are taken anyway.

 

So, this Friday, we intend to be at the Denver ASC office when the doors open at 8:00 am, and will attempt to get worked in for our biometrics, and if not, we hope to secure an appointment date to come back. 

 

Will report back on Friday afternoon what the outcome of the day was.

Follow-up Report:

 Regardless of the claim made by the Tier 2 Representative that we spoke to when we called USCIS on April 11, the Officer at the Application Support Center in Aurora Colorado does NOT allow walk-ins for Biometrics. He Requires an appointment letter WITH Bar-code, before he will allow Biometrics to be taken. 

He very kindly took us into his office and entered my wife's A number into his computer and showed us the result. 

The result is that the California Service Center hasn't even scanned our I-751 petition into the system yet.

THAT is why there are no Biometrics appointments being generated at CSC. 

The last action showing on my wife's A number account is the issuance of her green card in April of 2016.

The Biometrics appointment date and letter can Only be generated after the I-751 petition is entered into the USCIS tracking system, Because when they generate the appointment, it creates a special Bar-Code that is associated specifically with Your petition. Without that Bar-Code, there is no way to associate any Biometric data with the petition that is on file.

He further clarified that When the Biometrics appointment letter (with barcode) is generated and sent to the petitioner, If the petitioner happens to be our of country, You can come for your Biometrics (with appointment letter in hand), within an 89-day window past your appointment date. 

We were told that nothing is done to a petitioner's application, just because the biometrics appointment is missed, UNTIL 90 DAYS PAST THE APPOINTMENT DATE. 

So, if any of my fellow CSC filers in 2018 are postponing or delaying an out of country trip because you are waiting for your Biometrics appointment, you are indeed safe to travel. If your appointment letter is delivered while you are gone, you can just walk in to your local ASC office with the appointment letter (within 89 days) after the Appointment Date and STILL get your Biometrics done.

Hi I'm on this site (https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus) to check the status of my application and I got this error

 

"My Case Status does not recognize the receipt number entered. Please check your receipt number and try again. If you need further assistance, please call the USCIS Contact Center at 1-800-375-5283."

 

The receipt I entered was the one from my extension letter. Anyone else had the same issue or should I be concerned? 

[armando28 0]

I have the same problem, i think is a glitch from the computer. It is funny that everyone from CSC dosn't have their biometrics appointment yet and VSC is already done with biometrics. CSC is behind. Cant believe it's 3 months since i applied and still no appointment. I wonder what s the process time now at CSC, still October 2016?  They are almost 17 months behind. I don't know why. I will apply for the citizenship in January 2019.  Judging from them i guess i will do both the interviews somewhere in april-june 2019. I don't think they will be done with my I-751 before January.

[TabeaK 516]

Same status update - as in "no information"  for me. One of USCIS many system glitches I am sure. Anyway, we are only 3 month into the journey - we have probably 9- 15 months more to wait.

[lucy23shirley 2]

Also got 'no case status available' on the USCIS website.
