Hii!! Mine was received on November 22, 2019. I got a text for it and receipt. 
I also received the letter to do my biometrics but I didn't get my extension receipt. 

Anyone know what I can do about this? Was I one of the only ones?

Sigh, Biometrics letter printed from YSC on January 3rd, mailed January 7th, received January 17th for an appointment on the 22nd.  Had to immediately request a reschedule as we cannot make it on Wednesday..... thanks USPS for the slow delivery.......  I sent the reschedule request to be delivered Tuesday morning, hope they get it in time or we will have to start all over if they cancel the petition.

I received mines yesterday too. Notice date was January 10 from NBC. My appointment is January 31. Can’t call in so I had to mail the request cause my husband can’t get that day off in such a short time to take me.

California Service Center has a wait time of 7 months for biometrics. 

 

USCIS doesn't need your finger prints until they actually pick up your case to process it. And since ROC takes at least a year for most people, there's no rush with the biometrics.

By the same token though, from your experience would you say having biometrics taken early is a promising sign for the removal of conditions at least being worked?

No, having your biometrics done early doesn't mean anything, they will just sit there in the system until someone is ready to pick up the application and start processing it. And that usually takes a very long time.

Thanks for the answer anyway. Was just hopeful! It's going to be sad driving to an ASC and have to spend a night away from my baby.

I feel for you if you're that far away from your ASC office. The whole immigration process is a pain in the butt and that just makes it even worse.
