Courtesy letter before Biometrics

[Lavieestbelle 7]

Hi everyone, I just want to know if any of you experienced this situation. I received a yellow courtesy letter today for not submitting I693 for I485 before biometrics appointment. I have no biometrics scheduled yet, no letter yet but just wondering why I received this courtesy letter first?

Someone else is in the same situation. What is your priority date? mIght be a good sign. Maybe they will do everything at once.

Oh ok! Glad to hear I’m not alone! You think maybe they’ll use the previous biometrics record? Lol!

Same here. From B2 as well. I know right!! Lol! I read some posts here that if they send you a courtesy letter, it’s usually a good sign. Finger crossed!

Any changes on your case status? Mine is still “Fingerprint fee was received”.

I know we're all waiting for miracles but don't get your hopes high. You can't compare how USCIS works at the moment like they did six months ago.

The only good sign I can see here is that they've adjusted and are going through your files and already get things done that woukd usually happens later in the process. It's just a different order than it was before because no in person stuff is happening. Biometrics will still happen, interviews will still happen and we should better be prepared for a long waiting time.

The i-693 is for the medical, not biometrics. A courtesy letter for the i-693 is very common.
