USCIS did collect my first biometrics when I applied for my 2 year green card. I don't really know the specific reason as to why mine didn't get waived. Perhaps it has to do with the fact that I have a USCIS location 10 minutes away from my home, or perhaps I'm just *special*.

Keep in mind that the folks we have here on VJ are just a very small sampling of people in the process. The reason we do the tracking table is to give an overall perspective of the trends, but it's definitely just an indication of the population we have here on VJ and doesn't take into account the many thousands of others in the process.

@starsky mine is 05/05/2018 *Reusing biometrics 

[Danielle and Jake 24]

Still haven't gotten anything from USCIS. Signed up for informed delivery, and I submitted an inquiry online. I'm just nervous they lost it or something.

[IowacityGuy 152]

My question to CR1 CSC filers! Has anyone received biometrics letter stating that they will be using their old biometrics? my biometrics were taken in my home country!  I have to file ROC in few months so just wondering!

[Cosmos22 51]

My husband had his biometrics on the 5/25, everything went smooth and we have our receipt. Yesterday he received a letter stating USCIS sent biometrics appointment letters out with inaccurate locations of where appointment was to be. Just curious to see how many others received that letter as well. Also no status update on my USCIS online portal, still says they can't provide any information. Hope everyone is having a great week!

We received the same letter after we had our biometrics, coincidentally on 5/25.  We actually were scheduled for the next week and drove up to Tampa to make sure we could find the office in Tampa and were accepted as a walk-in.  Our information was updated on the USCIS website afterwards.   Now the wait for the CSC to process the rest of the application.  It's a slow process, but I'm sure things will all work out in the end for all of us.  Have a great week everyone and don't worry.

I'd contact a Tier 2 and see what's going on.  It's possible it got delivered to the wrong address or lost in transit somehow.  There are still a total of 8 people from CSC on our filing list who haven't been updated about Biometrics status.  I'd ask them what they are doing since they may be in the same situation.  Either way since you haven't heard anything in months since submitting initially and getting the NOA1, I'd definitely call and find out why you haven't gotten a letter yet.

How do you contact a Tier 2? I've tried calling before, even submitting an online inquiry. Problem is, since it's technically my wife as the applicant, they won't talk to me unless she's there. It's a little hard because I'm not sure what hours you can call and my wife's work schedule.

Same situation for me and the USCIS agents aren't very helpful... i plan to schedule an appointment from the local field office. Thoughts?

There should be a number of the letter you got when they accepted your petition.  To call with inquiries.  I'm not at home at the moment to find the number.  Yes it will have to be your wife who calls since it is her name on the petition.   They work typical government hours, 9-5 roughly should be standard government hours, so right in the middle and you'll be fine.  She could try calling on her lunch break if that helps.  If the person on the line can't help ask to speak to a Tier 2 who tend to have more access to certain kinds of information.

Thanks, we'll give that a try on Monday. Do you simply just ask "May I please speak to a Tier 2 representative?"? I feel like they'd just shut us down and tell us no.

I've never actually had to call before so I'm not exactly sure.  I'd go through it once with whoever answers and see if they can help.  If not call back again and get another person and ask right away for a Tier 2.  That'd be how I do it if it was me.

[ALIENRJ187 43]

So we have a new payroll company at work (my wife works with me) and they are making everyone fill out an I-9, yet another USCIS form to verify and what not.  Just making sure everyone is legal to work.  Of course it happens during this process when the Green Card is expired (which would have been the only document needed to verify my wife is legit with this company)  Since it is expired, we cannot use it alone.  Other additional documents can include copies of drivers license or social security card.  They also say you can use a foreign passport with I-551 stamp.  Unfortunately we don't have the stamps since it hasn't been a year out yet.  We only have the letter verifying we are good for another 12 months of permanent resident status during our application process.  I am thinking we can use the Green Card, copy of the I-797 stating everything is good for another 12 months, drivers license and social security card so there can be no mistake on the company's end and she doesn't end up getting let go.  Just more drama to deal with...bleghh.

I’ve never tried getting through to a Tier 2 rep at USCIS, however, part of my job is as a Tier 2 team at my company. If I were you I would go through everything with the Tier 1 rep, and if they can’t help you, ask for your issue to please be escalated to Tier 2. Good luck!
