Each state has multiple congressmen and sometimes senators, did you try the others? I reached out to 3 in total and got response from 1.

I'm still learning how US politics work, but on the Pennsylvania website I had to input our address and it seems like one congress person is assigned per zone. It looked like the entire state had three congresspeople total, but maybe because the state is so large they each have an assigned jurisdiction? I'm not sure. Maybe someone else understands better than I do?

Wow, that sounds like a dream. I'm happy they were able to help you so well

 

Yeah, thank God. That makes the waiting much easier to bear. 

But also, not to be a downer, but I filed an outside processing times inquiry about my I-131 on 8/21 and its still not even been assigned for processing. Even though they said to expect a reply by 9/12... 

I also submitted an inquiry about my I-131 on 08/31, they said to expect a response by 09/22, and it is also not yet assigned for processing.

Hello everyone! I finally received my combo card on Monday! Yay! My bio appointment was on August 11th and I did not have to go back for another one for AP. I am just wondering though, when should I expect to receive my SSN? I called my office today and they said they did not have any information about me but I need to wait at least 10 days from the day I received my card to make an appointment, if necessary. I guess the wait never ends..

Have seen this happen a few times now, best thing would be to go! Or seek help via congress folks. The thing is that the officer might/might not note that you are not going to attend the appt as you already have the card and that might cascade to a different avalanche altogether.

It’s crazy how many of us from February are still waiting for our biometrics appointments and then USCIS schedules many of us appointments we don’t even need (which slows things down even more!)

Thank you guys for replying to my questions! 

I called today and talked to a tier2 officer.

he confirmed that my biometrics has applied to the only pending case I have (i-485),

so he cancelled the second biometrics appointment for me! 

I hope this spot will be opened up for someone waiting!

It's been a good day, guys! 

 

I just got off the phone with a lovely tier 2 officer who informed me my biometrics appointment was scheduled for 9/28! Finally some movement! Meanwhile my senator's office called today saying they'll try to squeeze me in sooner, due to my emergency travel and a pending job offer. We'll see what happens, but for now I'm very excited! 

 

So I know its been asked before, but how long did you guys have to wait from when the appointment was scheduled to receiving the notice in the mail?

...btw, has anyone heard of a successful biometrics walk-in since reopening? I know they don't allow them currently, but the tier 2 officer I talked to today told me I should try anyway and explain my situation. I got my notice by email from the senator's office, so I'll drive there tomorrow at 8am sharp. I'm not really expecting anything though. If anyone has any advice or experience, lmk!

You just have to try. Some got lucky, some don't. Depends a lot on the office and the person who's in charge the moment you show up.

Went in for my second biometrics for AP today. Only had to do one index finger and a picture. Funny thing, my combo card was already delivered yesterday but we didn’t know. Very useful appointment today 😛.

 

I told the security officer, I’ll see you tomorrow 🤣 he was nice talking about the weather and such lol.

I have my interview tomorrow and want to make some copies of my bills. Will I need them in my future applications or is this just for keepsake for my own administration?
