So 1 hr after biometrics last Wednesday 3pm my estimated completion showed as down from February 2020 to January 2020. Just checked a minute ago and it now shows October 2019! Does this mean I might receive an interview schedule soon? Exciting!!!

Btw, my actual 5-yr anniversary is Sept 4th, 2019.

Congrats! I've just checked mine and actually the wait time got longer: was January 2020, now is February 2020

Same for me, only four fingers for biometrics. They said they already have my biometrics on file.

Did you do your biometrics in Jax or in Orlando?  Saw on the spreadsheet you did a walk-in (successfully) and planning on heading through this week to Orlando to try.  Last time they sent us away because they were so busy - it was the day before Thanksgiving and first thing in the morning so our timing was bad lol

I did mine in Orlando. I went at around 2pm and there were only few people waiting. I explained that I'm traveling the next day and won't be in the US for the biometrics appointment. The officer wasn't very friendly but nonetheless he told me to complete the form and wait in line.

I'm probably the last of the stragglers to join the June filers thread. I considered just joining July. Somehow we always end up filing each stage of our process so that we get our NOA1 on the last day of a month 😂

June 30th NOA, online filer based on the 3 year rule. ROC complete and GC in hand so no combo filing.

Thank you.  You must have had the same officer we did the first two times. The guy last month was super nice. Actually all the staff inside were lovely every time.  Our recent appointment was at noon on a Friday and there was nobody around aside from a group of 3 guys who came in ahead of us. We were in and out in about 15 minutes. Later in the day seems to be better. I think they set all the appointments in the morning and do other stuff in the afternoon. I'll let you know how our walk in attempt goes tomorrow afternoon. Hoping it is successful. Driving through to Orlando in Friday rush hour traffic for a 9 am appointment will not be fun, otherwise!

I think all the average wait times are so skewed, it's impossible to really tell.  Applications that go in with an I-751 still pending do take longer, as do those who file in the 90 day window.  The case count and processing times don't separate those from the 'straightforward' cases. 

Heading out to attempt a biometrics walk-in later today. It will only make a difference of about 10 days, but more importantly, for the sake of my own sanity, I won't be subjected to the horrible road there in rush hour traffic on a Friday morning next week so here's hoping the officer at the entrance is in a good mood and likes my smile 😂

Success :D

Took the afternoon off work accepting that I may need to wait so they can attend to those with appointments scheduled for the day. 

It was super quiet - the officer who usually guards the door was not there and they took me right in. From parking to getting back in the car and leaving the office was less than 15 minutes and the staff were really lovely.  Thumbs up for Orlando office today. I left them all smiley faces on their feedback card.

We went in for my wife's biometretrics today, a couple of days earlier than the appointment. They let us in without a hassle, which was appreciated. We were in and out in less than 20 minutes. Her biometrics have been updated in her online account and the estimated case approval time has changed from September 2020 to June 2020.
