Have you had your Biometrics yet?

 

Ohh, I didn't know you hadn't had your Biometrics appt done yet. What have they told you when you call?

They did the same thing everyone else in this thread was talking about. The USCIS officer wanted to make a service request, which you allow 30 days for a response. I told him its been almost 9 weeks and I cannot wait 30 more days. I told him to let me speak to a Tier 2 supervisor, and he was hesitant but finally agreed. They will call me in two hours to discuss it, but I am not sure what they will decide.

 

I dont care about the letter or if we missed a previous appointment, I just care about getting this appointment over with.

Do you have a copy of the school records you used to get your passport? According to the RFE, they would be sufficient secondary evidence to fulfill the birth certificate requirement.

Adding to my above post i note some of the June filers have already had their biometric appointment. Could it be that k1 AOS take longer than others?

I called them mid-day about 4 times. 3 times it said it was too busy and to call back later. I finally got in the queue and waited almost an hour to speak to a customer service representative. He took down my information and said he would open a service request, and to wait 30 days. I told him that was unacceptable and that I need to speak to a Tier 2 supervisor. He was reluctant and told me that Tier 2 supervisor has the same access as he has. I asked him why it could take 30 days and he didnt have an answer. I told him I wanted an answer TODAY, why our biometric appointment has not been scheduled.

 

He setup a call with a Tier 2 supervisor, had me record my full name, and the automated system said I would get call within 141 minutes. 

 

So about 350 minutes later, they called me, when it was very inconvenient. I finally spoke to the Tier 2 supervisor and asked him why our biometric appointment was so delayed, or if we even missed it?

 

He told me because of the Privacy Act he cannot disclose any information to me, since I am not the applicant. I explained to him that I am the one who did all the paperwork and sent in the check that they cashed so quickly, but are unable to talk to me about.

 

I am so furious, I told him I would be lodging a formal complaint. I told him how I waited all day to speak to him and he couldn't tell me anything. I am kinda furious.

 

Ontop of that, I gave my wife the instructions on how to call them and navigate the automated system. She says its too difficult and I spend too much time here on Visa Journey and she's really ungrateful. Maybe I should cancel this AOS.

You can request for a birth certificate at a ward office that comes under ur municipal corporation. If you were born in rural part of India, then I guess you can apply for it at the taluka office. Now a days, lot of requests for government documents have gone online so check if you can apply for a birth certificate online.

Hi May 2019 AOS fillers! I expedited my EAD due to financial loss and I was given a job offer from the nursing home where I am volunteering at. Today, they approved it and will produce my card. On the same day, my AOS case changed to ready to be scheduled for an interview. 

 

I am one of the people here who don't have SSS because the local office didn't give me one. It was so frustrating. So, I decided to volunteer and put my mind to anywhere else aside from thinking about the process. And it worked! 

 

As I always say, God made us to be here with our husband. Everything will go well because he is looking down on us. It is a long process but God is with us in this journey.

That would be a smart move.

You can always call your district's Congressman to file a complaint about USCIS.

Anyone heard anything reference outstanding biometrics? NOA May 20th but still nothing for me.

Mine was received by USCIS May 15th. Still no update regarding biometrics appointment. They sent me an update regarding my service request last July 3rd stating that a decision has not been made yet. I called again to follow up, the agent that I talked to said that I will have to wait until August 3 to make another service request. And that all I have to do is wait. It’s just so frustrating!!!

How did you file a senatorial inquiry? I would like to do the same. Our NOA1 was May 22nd. I cant get any answers on the phone but they cashed our check two months ago. I feel like reporting them for theft.
