Did your card make it through? 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Yes! Finally in my hands. I now see why they took the picture and asked if I wanted a second one hahaha. It's more of an ID - I was expecting something along the lines of the paper social security card!

Congrats! My case just went from card is being produced to case is approved hm lol 

I observed that, for some people’s posts I saw and for me at least lol, it usually goes from new card is being produced for a day to case was approved for 2 business days and then card was mailed to me next. My notice date on the approval notice is the same date as “new card is being produced”. Congratulations!

Could it be that it’s the restrictions with your local ASC? Where is your ASC so we can try to check other filers who may or may not have the same experience? It wouldn’t help speed it up but at least we can make sense of what you’re going through?

The way biometrics works is like this:

 

When you file application at Lockbox it goes in a queue and than computer randomly picks based on ASC slots and schedules appointments

 

Folks who didnt get biometrics in the computer sorted order ( Jan/Feb/March filers) now can only get if a biometrics appointment slot opens up at ASC. What are the odds of slots opening up when backlog is by the miles ?

 

Officers can also schedule you for biometrics if they get to your case to adjucation means your file is with an adjudicator.

 

If your file isnt with any officer, it is in a pool of whopping applicants and will only get a appointment when a vacancy opens at ASC. again odds of that is < 0

 

So basicallly you case is now  stuck between north pole and south pole  if you didnt get your biometrics

I have to ask, where does that come from? Anything official or just hearsay/ your idea of how it works?

This is what two Tier 2 officers told us as well. Basically February filers are screwed because it is humans doing the reschedules vs computers automatically generating the new schedules.

Well if this is true then everyone should be able to expedite their EAD based on USCIS committing an error

My photo was not at all flattering and they did not even offer me a second try. Plus I had evident mask indentation on my face but I could not contain my happiness seeing the card which gave me so much anxiety for 6 months. 😂😂😂

 

Thank you USCIS for the nightmares.

did it just go directly from fingerprints were applied to your case to card being produced? or did you get case approved notification online first?

I read on reddit that if you try to expedite your EAD and get it denied, you'll get an appointment in 3 weeks. Maybe if you do that, your applicatiob will get in somebody hands and then a bio appt will be scheduled. I might try it.

it also says that if a case officer receives your case  and biometrics are not done, they do not have authority to schedule biometrics. Biometrics scheduling access is apparently like nuclear codes. Its either the computer or some whacko higher up at each field office that can actually approve a manual scheduling of appointments. There lies the burn why no one is able to get manual scheduling. Its a bunch bureaucracy 

 

Until than it still goes round and round in a pool
