Does biometrics have to be done twice? Biometric was completed on Monday for I-485. Today received another appointment letter for biometrics for I-131. Everything was filed at the same time adjustment of status, travel, and work permit.

Normally not. Normally 131 doesn't even require biometrics and if they need biometrics they use the one on file (if they haven't expired yet). But lately more and more people report the same experience you have. Perhaps it might be worth to call USCIS (and ask for a tier 2 officer) and see what's up. Now that all ASCs are closed anyways, there's no real time pressure.

Anyway there is no way to do biometric in the nearest future. And they usually use the same biometric which you did for I-485

This new appointment is for April 2nd. I'll try to call and get some clarification in the meantime. Thanks for your response

Right I would think they could just use the one already on file. I'll definitely call to follow up. Thank you for your response.

I recieved a second appointment for i131 but my case was just updated to say my existing fingerprints were applied. 
 

I also got an RFE  waiting to find out what it’s for.

True, but official communication says until at least April 1st. Indicating that there's a chance that after April 1st they might reopen (I don't think so, but that's how USCIS communicates it).

It's typically fundamental stuff like a missing long-form birth certificate, marriage certificate, the sponsor not being sufficient and this needing a joint sponsor. Stuff that is needed as bare minimum to consider it a complete application.

Well, it ended up being my marriage certificate...which I had actually included in the original filing (I checked the submission with the lawyer today). VERY FRUSTRATING.

I received my AED card but now I tried to call Uscis to find that if they ordered my social security card since when I was filling up my original application I have been asked if I want social security card and I said yes 

but no one could answer that question 

and social security is closed to public so I print out an application but it’s asking to send AED because they don’t accept copy 

help and advice please 

anyone in the same situation?

Sometimes it happens and you receive it the next day . That happened to me with some of my mails 

but if you don’t receive it the next day contact Uscis
