Has anyone gotten their biometrics yet for Jan 2023 filers at YSC? Am traveling out of the country for a week in April so I’m a little bit nervous since we haven’t received biometrics yet, but we can travel before biometrics (if that even happens) so long as we can reschedule is that right? 

I filed in December and haven’t received anything except my NOA

We filed in September 2022 and we have not heard anything on biometrics.  Even submitted inquiries like everyone suggested without any movement.

Just documenting this.

 

We reached out to USCIS again (probably the 8th time by now) regarding biometrics.  We got the same canned answer.  So, this whole thing that "inquiries and reaching out to USCIS" yields biometrics is unlikely to work - at least for those at YSC.

Given this, do people feel like they are gonna not travel internationally until they get some notification that biometrics are waived or something? Some of the cases I’ve seen on here have taken a year or more for the biometrics  to come through or be waived.. or that bio usually only happens if the person applies for n400

It is a personal preference and only you can decide that.  Some people don’t worry because they do not have a need or cannot afford to travel internationally.  Others do not do it to avoid worrying about it.  Others do it and just risk it.  Then, I am sure there are people like us where if we need to travel internationally more than 10 days, we would pay for insurance to have peace of mind.

Did you reach out by submitting a service request? And they weren’t able to tell you whether or not it was scheduled?
 

and did you mean informed delivery? Curious to know if you traveled between when you submitted and biometrics; and that there are other people doing this!

We have done three service requests for the "missing notice" and about 10+ chats with a live representative.  We get the same canned answer, which is that we have to wait because nothing has been scheduled and they can't issue it on the spot.  So, chances are regardless of what you do, they will tell you the same thing, since nothing truly has been scheduled.

I did not mean informed delivery.  But, yes, we are also signed up for that just to be safe.  I meant travel insurance if you are traveling internationally.  This will depend on your personal preference and the airline's flexibility.  If it were up to us, and we had to travel internationally for a long period of time while a biometrics is pending, we would probably either do a flexible airline that will do the changes without a massive pile of fees or pay for the travel insurance so that if we get a notice, then we can make it back without re-scheduling it.

I have not traveled internationally.  We had a planned trip to Canada back in October/November, which got re-scheduled and then cancelled.  But, even if we had made it on the trip, it would have been 10 days, so we knew we would make it back on time if something were to be scheduled.

There are other people traveling with the extension letters while an ROC is pending.  However, I do not know how many of them are traveling while their biometrics are pending as well.  I am sure there are a few, but there are even lesser ones that would take an extended international flight.

As others have said, re-scheduling or potentially missing a biometrics appointment, especially in ROC, could be risky.  But, it is up to you.  You mentioned it was mid-April that your trip is planned.  At this point, being that it is 04/04/2023, it is unlikely that it will be scheduled for the middle of the month.  However, it could be scheduled for the 20th of April and beyond.  Again, it depends on how long your trip is as well.  All of these factors are things to consider and it is up to you.
