Anyone from April still waiting for a biometrics appointment? My PD date is 04/14 and I’m in Seattle, but getting more stressed as I see most other April filers making progress and it just feels like we are stuck.

Just noticed an unexpected update to my wife's and stepsons cases. EAD was updated 39 days ago to show the fingerprints being taken. AP still stuck as case received since we submitted. Yesterday their AOS got updated to interview scheduled, not sure on the date yet but excited to get that letter in the mail. We did not expedite anything either.  Hoping the date isn't too far out. 

My husband's case online also changed to "Interview scheduled and letter mailed to you". We are in a panic not a joy. Didn't expect it to be THAT fast at all...We would rather have the interview at the end of October (our 2 year marriage anniversary) and not now. How can we get it postponed??

When they emailed me that my interview was scheduled it was scheduled for 1.5 month after my case update. I would wait and see when the interview is.

My husband is still waiting for a biometrics appointment. We’re in Columbus, Ohio. He got his first notice 4/22.

I765 & I131 approved!!

 

Hey guys, looks like USCIS is pacing up! (My guess is they are reducing the backlogs to take in more applications so their department can survive lol, either ways I'm super happy! )

Few people from Feb filers got their interviews done and a couple of them from March have their interviews scheduled. Looks like someone from April got it scheduled too. 

 

Here is my case updates: Adjustment of status from K1 (No expedite)

 

I485/I765/I131 received: 04/10/2020

Biometrics for I485/I765: 08/12/2020 

I485 -> Case is ready to be scheduled for interview as of 08/13/2020

I765 -> Fingerprints were applied as of 08/13/2020 -> New card being produced 09/14/2020 -> Case approved 09/15/2020

I131 -> Was in Case received state until 09/14/2020 -> Case approved 09/15/2020 (Looks like second biometric appointment is not needed, finally something makes sense with USCIS)

 

And for all those who didn't have their biometrics scheduled yet, I'm very hopeful that they will do it soon and just to make sure contact tier 2 officers. 

 

Sending some good juju out for all of us to get to green card interviews soon! ❤️

Hey guys. Like Sravani, I finally got approved today as well.

 

Timeline:

i485/765/131: received 04/10/20

Biometrics for 485/765: 08/13/20

Biometrics for i131: 08/23/20

I765 "New Card Produced": 09/15/20

 

For what it's worth, my I131 is still "fingerprints applied". They were filed together, so I a hoping that the combo card has the re-entry component included on it.

Congrats to everyone moving along! We are still waiting for our bio appointment. Filed in late April, NOA was May 21. Contact Center said our appointment has not been scheduled yet. Just gotta keep being patient of course, but gets harder every day!

[eabrophy 25]

Our EAD status just changed to "my new card is being produced!" NOA1 date is April 15 and biometrics were done 8/27. AP is still stuck on "case was received" so hopefully it does come as a Combo card.

[JM1621 31]

Got an update today for i-485 - “interview was scheduled” , EAD remains “ case was updated to show fingerprints were taken”

 

case received - april 23

biometrics - august 10

 

we didnt expedite.

***UPDATE***
 

We have received my wifey’s EAD/AP COMBO Card today 09/15/2020 in the mail (via USPS Priority mail). Please note guys that my case status online stayed at “Card was mailed to me” but it never changed to “Card was picked up by US Postal Service” and thus I never had a tracking number for it. We live here in Southern California and the card was mailed out on Friday, September 11th, 2020 and got here today Tuesday, September 15th, 2020. I confirm again that this is indeed a COMBO CARD and it has a 1 year validity. Thus the card displays the following dates:

 

Valid from: 9/08/20 (This is the same date that the card showed online that it went into production)

 

Card Expires: 09/07/2021 (Let’s hope that we have her green card by then).

 

Good luck to all of you and we hope and pray that all of you get yours soon as well!

 

Ps. We had some drama with the post office people but that is a whole another story. The card showed delivered at 3:46pm Today online through the “Informed Delivery” App But when I arrived home from work at 5:05pm to check our mail the card wasn’t there. My local post office was closed but I still saw people in there so I banged on the door until finally some lady was kind enough to come out and talk to me after hours (bless her heart). So she was able to get a hold of the postal clerk delivering to our apartment complex and even though the item showed as delivered it had not been delivered yet. So she asked me to come back home and to leave our phone number. Well luckily about an hour later at 6:25pm we got a phone call from the local post office asking us to go and check our mail since he assured me that the card was indeed delivered. And yes to our relief, it waaaaas 😅. So the moral of this story is to always keep on top of the US Postal service because indeed they can also screw up BIGTIME and do not give up until you have your card on hand. Imagine going through months of a painful and lengthy process (even more so with Covid) to have USPS screw up right before the finish line. I can’t believe that they marked it as delivered even though it wasn’t. Shame on them.

Yay! Congrats to you guys. You just gave me some well needed hope. We filed at the end of April and did biometrics Aug. 12. Praying we receive the same news very soon. 

Thank you so much! I hope that you receive good news as well real soon! Take care and please stay safe and healthy out there 🙂

Thank you for the update. It's good to know that it'll be a combo card. I'm waiting for mine too. Since our timeline is very close, I hope the card comes in the next couple of days for me.
