Our thread has been pretty quiet. Are most of you past the biometrics stage already and into the long waiting period?

My NOA date is April 30 and I have not received my biometrics appointment letter yet.

Hey Guys, 

 

USCIS received our package on March 29th and on April 9th the case was received, shortly thereafter we got the extension letter.  Today I received a noticed that the Document was returned to USCIS (post office returned it). Could this be a RFE? or more likely a biometrics appointment? If it was a RFE would it say so on the website?

Probably biometrics......imo.....

EDIT:  My wife never received any site update before receiving her bio appointment letter......it just suddenly appeared in the mail.

For RFE the website should update, yes. Should. It doesn't always work though.

 

For biometrics appointment, no, the website won't show anything until after the biometrics (if at all, like I said, the case status updates don't always work).

USCIS received our package on April 1st. I'm still waiting for biometric appointment. Case starts with SRC*****

Texas service center.  Any similar case?

Thousands and thousands of other cases, yes. They will ask for your biometrics when they need them, you still have a long wait until someone even looks at your case. So don't worry.

Hi everyone!

 

I have a question

 

I sent in my I-751 and it was received April 30th. I got a receipt in the mail stating they received it. They cashed my check May 6th. But I have not heard anything since the receipt letter. I check my case status online and all it says is: My case was received. 

 

How long did it take for you guys? Getting worried since I haven't gotten a biometrics appointment or anything else yet. 

 

Thanks!
