Update: received Biometrics Appointment letter November 8 and Biometrics completed November 18. One month and one day after my application was delivered. Not bad of a wait.

Doing biometric now, or next year wouldn't change your timeline. If you do the biometric now, they will just sit in the web for months until an officer open your case 9-12 months after NOA. Just relax, it is not unusual that they don't send a biometric request for months. Just make sure you are not missing any document in the mail

Thanks . I will keep checking the mail

Based on the spreadsheet for MSC Service Center, 4-6 months total processing time.

Wife and K2 stepsons just had Biometrics done yesterday, roughly 5 weeks after receiving NOA for ROC. Service center is Vermont. At least 1 step closer in the process. Appt was at Hackensack, NJ ASC, if anyone is local. All 3 done within 1 hr.

Also checked online case status and saw "Fingerprint Review Completed"...same day as Biometrics was done. I guess it varies widely on how often they update or probably the thoroughness of the officer. In any event, nice to see the status change

Hello Everyone,

 

I filed my I-751 on 10/12/2019

Case was received 10/14/2019

Text notification for G-1145  10/18/2019

I-797 Received  10/22/2019

 

I haven't heard from USCIS then. Is that normal? I am expecting the biometrics appointment but it seems like that are just dragging. I submitted sufficient evidence to prove our bona fide marriage (e.g. joint tax return, joint back accounts, joint mortgage, we also have a son, etc). Also, we were interviewed before. I wonder how long will this process take in general for cases like mine? My case was submitted to YSC.

Have you received your biometrics yet? 

No, I do not expect it to be any time soon.  According to other applicants who are also LIN, it estimated that biometric letters are sent after about 4 months from the filing date.  I expect to hear something in March 2020.

mine is YSC. i didn't receiver biometrics appt yet. and i actually filed i-90 before i-751 because i lost my green card. i filed i-751 i got the letter telling me i got the 18 months extension but still my i-90 went thru and my new conditional card has been produced and they shipped it to me. i thought i-751 would cancel i-90. my i-751 is still saying case is received.

Strange, I never received status that says, “Fingerprint Review Was Completed”. Is there a way to check past status in Case Tracker?
