Biometrics and interviews

[splatterpaint 0]

From what I understand, I will probably get an appointment letter for my spouse, for biometrics, soon (maybe in a few weeks) after sending the I-751.  I read that some people (but not everyone) also has an interview.  I assume this is different than the biometrics appointment - am I right?  If an interview is necessary, will this likely occur within a few weeks of submitting the I-751 as well, or much later?  We need to plan our summer travels.

Hello!  The biometrics is usually a month or two after sending in the I-751 (some are sooner, some are later - there's no definitive answer with the USCIS!). 

 

You are correct about the interview - some have it, some don't.  All depends on your officer reviewing your case to determine that. The interview IS different than the biometrics. The biometrics is a quick process with just taking your picture, fingerprints, and then you're on your way! 

 

If there is an interview needed, this will happen months down the road. If you just submitted, I would average your interview to be in the 9-12 month range from now - if you even have one.  Hope this helps!

Also, please update your timeline.  It will calculate and average how about how long until you receive your 10-year GC, under the Processing Times tracker.
