That’s very unfortunate, But I’d do a change of address. I know they claim to have your actual address but just to clear have them update it. Also check with your post office. My lawyer had advised me to get a mail box at the post office. I doubt they could mess your mail up if it’s being left in the same building. Look into those options. We’re all humans and we make mistakes but sometimes so cause more damage than others

I have called up to change address twice, both times they have told me they have the address on file that it should be, however it is still being sent to a different address.

They are simply changing one number at the end of the address which messes everything up, from the correct address its the number next to the right one on the keyboard so it looks to be a repeated admin error. I know this because when my NOA was resent I can see the initial address it was sent to.

 

We are humans and make mistakes yes, once is a mistake, twice is negligence and unacceptable.

Just updating: I had my biometrics appointment on Dec 6. Got there at 9:15 for our 10am appointment and was done by 9:45. The case status for my I-485 and I-765 were both updated to "Fingerprint Review Was Completed". Now we wait for a very long time. Unfortunately, I think we'll be getting a RFE because we sent the wrong tax forms so that'll add a few months to our wait time as well 🙃

Update;

 

My case status changed to “Notice was returned to USCIS because the post office could not deliver it”. After calling up twice over the past two weeks to ensure the right address was on file,  it seems they sent out another notice (which I imagine is biometrics) AGAIN to the wrong address. It goes on to say this could have a severe effect on my case.
 

I called up to discuss this and they said they don’t know what the returned notice was, and to call back Monday to speak to someone higher up.

 

I’m at a loss for words, once is an accident, twice is negligence. Absolutely fuming right now. 

I really hope this person higher up can clear everything up. It really sucks that you have to suffer for their mistakes.

If you have an idea of what the rfe is just put them together. If you should get the rfe just send the necessary stuff from all you’ve collected. The sooner you send it back the faster they start working back on your case.

My case was changed to "Fingerprint Review Complete" within a few hours of the biometrics appointment. I was thinking of expediting as well. What sort of evidence are you sending?

Hey!

I did a lot of digging around on this website and it looks like just the job offer and the letter you get from USCIS detailing your expedite request should be sufficient. Others included outstanding debts/bills etc. Not sure if it makes a difference. Google EAD expedite visajourney and you'll see tons of examples.   Thanks for the headsup!

Its extremely agitating to see people getting their Bio appointment in this thread, when October and September filers still haven't gotten them. I understand there is a queue, but where is the performance management? Fire the dead weight.

Did you call? What did they say about your appointment? Is your field office really busy? Waiting that long for a 5 minute appointment seems strange.

Update;

 

After calling up three different days I was finally able to be transferred to a second officer yesterday.

 

My biometrics appointment was originally scheduled for Nov 14th but I never received it because it was sent to a different address than the one they had on file (they confirmed thats what my missed notice was).

 

I was apologised too for the issue and told whoever was in charge of my case had made repeated typographical errors, something which they aren't even supposed to do as are supposed to copy and paste information. I was also able to book a biometrics appointment for this friday and assured this still shouldn't impact the length of my case, as the priority date stays the same.

I would call up and submit a request, my appointment was 14th Nov (one month after filing) and never received it. Only saw on my case status that a notice couldn't be delivered to me and was returned on the 6th Dec.

Hi,

 

I Had a question. I jjust sent in my AOS package to the Chicago Lockbox. The petitioner lives in Dallas and the beneficiary lives in Charlotte. The AOS package was sent from Charlotte. So which field office will our application be directed to?

[Fennik 4]

I attempted to call, not sure exactly where to call. Does anyone have a recommended number/is the number on the NOA?

Explain its been over 30 days since you filed and no biometrics notice, they can submit a request for one for you.
