That’s awesome. I was hoping you’d update about your experience. I’ll be attending Cranston, too! Were they able to advise you on any sort of timeline or do they only concern themselves with fingerprints and pic? 

Oh I didn't ask and they didn't say. It's very much "fill this in, bring it back and wait til I call out your number". 

If you fill in your timeline on here, it uses statistics of other timelines to guesstimate when yours will be done. The previous chart on this thread says between biometrics and interview, the average for RI is 114 days which is 16th June for me. When I did the K-1, it was pretty accurate so it's a good ballpark figure 🙂

Awesome. Thank you very much!

Decided to try my luck with a ‘walk-in’ on my biometrics. Appt is originally for 03/03/2020. 
 

They took us right in. Very convenient as we had to be by the biometrics office for another appt and didn’t want to have to pull the kids from school again on 03/03. 
 

Doubt it will speed up my process any, seeing how I only did this a week in advance. For me, was more of a ‘two birds; one stone’ kind of deal.

It’s a request for initial evidence. Don’t know why it’s called RFIE in the AOS process and RFE for K1. Bottom line is they’re not happy with something so I better fix it 😄

Yeah I saw the thread about walk ins but it did not mention RI, so I took a chance. Glad it worked out for me.

Oh umm no this is not about biometrics, @Letspaintcookies and I have been in this process together for a long time (almost identical timeline ever since K1) so she knows about a picture related error that I made in my application. RFIE’s have nothing to do with biometrics  Glad to bear that your bio walk-in worked out though

I was confused for a sec then I realized that it was me who responded to the wrong comment. Sorry about that. I have no idea what the whole RFE thing is about. My bad.

Haha no need to be sorry! Just thought I’d clarify 😄

so i learnt some thing that if case status change to "Case Tranferred and New Office has Jurisidiction" after "Finger Print fee received" status means your Biometrics appointment is being scheduled. You should soon receive the Biometrics appointment letter

Is anyone else having an issue logging on to the egov.uscis website. Seems to have been down all day. 
 

Received a text saying my status has been updated but I cannot see it.

I suggest you try to download the app and add your case numbers. It will notify you of any status change on your case. I had mine and it notifies me for any updates.
