Case status changed to “new card being produced” for I765, hoping it’s a combo card.

Congrats, it should be a combo card since you also applied for I-131.

 

We haven't heard anything since the yellow letter stating I-693 deficiency dated 2nd July.

Hopefully you’ll get an update soon. Did you get the biometrics appointment?

Nope.

 

Guess it's all luck considering several Jan/Feb/Mar filers haven't been able to reschedule their COVID-cancelled biometric appointments, and yet several people with PD after ours have gotten biometrics done already.

Nope, we got text NOAs around 25th June and our PD is 12th June.

Yeah, I feel for those people it must be stressful.    At this point one can only be patient.

keep us updated once things start moving forward for you.

@MerryMentor, @SusnOwen, or others - do you know how many days notice does the biometrics appointment letter gives?

 

Is it typically within the week, or two weeks?

It’s supposed to be two weeks, unless someone messes up and delays the mail. Most posts I’ve seen have a little over a week at least, very few didn’t get enough notice.

Ours gave us two weeks.

Just as an update, it has been 90+ days since our local ASC opened (St. Louis, MO) and 30+ days since any communication from USCIS.

So I had a chat with an agent via Emma and they asked us to fill this form https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/displayNDNForm.do?sroPageType=ndn&entryPoint=init.

 

The auto-generated email after filling the form says they'll reply within 3 weeks, but some people have been saying that their reply just states that they need 60-90 more days. Who even knows what's happening anymore.

USCIS is terrible with giving you actual answers. I got a second biometrics appointment for 131 and I already have a combo card, like W#T#F. Somebody in need can use that time to get their biometrics.

Our EAD and AP got approved 10/30 and status is that the card was mailed!

Have you received the biometrics appointment yet?

Literally yesterday a Tier-2 agent called me and informed that they can see a biometric appointment for me on 12/24. I haven't received any notice yet, but they said I should get one soon. Fingers crossed I get the EAD/AP combo card soon, because my work permit through F-1 ends this month and I am going on an unpaid leave of absence until I get the EAD through AOS.
