Thank you I did as you suggested let’s see what comes of that 

I agree, also since your case is already outside of normal processing time I don't see why they would refuse it.

I am happy to report that I have received my biometric appointment as well for 1/6/2020.

I submitted my i485 on 5/28. my ASC is Elizabeth, NJ.

Well let’s hope you’re right.  I’m here waiting on their response.

Congratulations.  I hope things run smoothly for you after this.

This just keeps getting better. So on 12/15/20 NBC was supposedly processing applications AFTER my PD of 5/27/20. Guess what? Today NBC is apparently now processing applications with a PD of 4/8/20. Yes...dates have been changed and back dated by over a month. Must be special government math. I chatted with an online rep today who said a Tier 2 Agent will get a hold of me within 7 days. They actually called back today...and hung up on me. No other call back as of yet. Guess nobody wants to be working. Really....I am speechless with respect to this process. STILL waiting on a biometrics appointment to get the process moving for work. Faith is the only thing keeping me going at this point. Here's to getting this done and progress for the rest of you! ♥️

It keeps changing always going more than a month behind it’s totally frustrating

Who wants to guess when May 2020 filers will start seeing interview notices?

After months and months of waiting and discouragement, I'm pleased to say I finally had my biometrics appointment today!!

 

When nothing had changed by the end of November, I submitted a case inquiry for my EAD/AP/GC because the website had never updated from "Case Received". The "Response expected by" date of Dec 15th came and went, then on the 21st I saw through Informed Delivery that I was getting mail from USCIS. I thought it was just the standard, "Due to COVID-19, wait times have increased blah blah blah" letter, but it turned out to be a biometrics appointment notification, dated Dec 12th. 

 

So ... yay? Who knows how many more months it'll be before I can even get my SSN or work, but at least that part's done.

I can’t tell you how long you have to wait but I can tell you my experience.  I did my biometrics 10/14 and I’m still waiting to get my ead.  I had to ask my congressman for help and now I’m told I have an interview date set.

Thanks for the heads up! The way things have been going, I'm not expecting it anytime soon, to be honest.

Sadly for me probably another 5-7 months as the Washington DC ASC is notoriously slow. I'll probably have to extend EAD in April as my current card expires in September and it'll be tight...

Any May filers still waiting for biometrics appointment or is it just me? Tried everything (multiple service requests, tier 2 agent requests, ombudsman request, representative request), nothing seems to work. PD is 5/12.

U are not alone , I am waiting too!

Exciting news! Biometrics appointment letter arrived today from NBC dated 12/12/2020 (our PD of 5/27/20)and appointment is for this Friday (1/8/2021)!!! Thankfully we got it before the appointment at the Detroit office. Hang tight May filers....it's coming! Not sure if all the calls and multiple service requests helped 😉 Finally we are making some progress!!!
