OK.....

Does it look like your first biometrics appointment letter, or instead is it on white paper?

It sounds to me like they want prints for production of the card!! I think you are in luck!!

That certainly sounds like good news! Yay! It should be a 10-year, right?

What's sad is that our FBI namecheck was finished last December, we know that because the senators office sent us the email they received from the FBI. It's the local office that is the hold up now.

My husbands' notice was also on white paper. And it came from the District Office, not from Missouri.

USCIS is ready to produce a greencard for your husband. A lot of what will happen after he appears for re-printing will depend on the District Office. An AO now has to sign off on your case, and then a supervisor. If they handle it expeditiously, you should see your case status begin to change on USCIS.gov within a week, and you should receive the first of 3 emails which document each step of the process. If on the other hand they decide to drag their feet, you could still be in for a delay.

I'm a great advocate of patience with this process. But not at this point. After your husband has appeared for his prints, I would give them about 2 weeks tops to see the card. After that I would become LOUD and PERSISTENT in my quest for a resolution to this delay. Should there be a delay, I would allow myself one INFOPASS, and after that I would engage congressional assistance.

They owe you a ten-year card. And they owe it to you NOW. "Owe" is not a word I generally use with this process - but the namecheck has cleared and you otherwise met the criteria when you interviewed so long ago.

They owe you.

Keep us posted.

Thank you for your words of support. Tonight there is an article in the paper about a man who has waited 5 years so far for his namecheck and how many are now turning to the courts for help. I will let everyone know as soon as we hear. Since we are trying to decide whether to get his EAD renewed before the 30th you can bet we won't hear before then :) I am very sure the reason there is movement now is because of Senator Lugars immigration assistant who is a truly persistant and dedicated person.

Just wanted to drop a note in here to tell you all that I hope hope hope that all your checks are cleared soon. I have no idea if I'll be caught up in this mess too. Maybe, maybe not, but I do feel for all of you waiting. It's absolutely ridiculous how long the wait is for you all.
