Exactly the same happened to me and I'm concerned I messed it up. Show them both notices, and if they say "it's fine" also show both notices to the biometrics technician and if possible get them to do Code 3. I didn't push back hard enough and they only did Code 2 biometrics for me and now I'm worried I'm stuck in limbo...

If they told you so at the office I am sure Its fine. What your case status shows ?

It was a pretty disinterested receptionist, and I don't think they noticed the codes were different (Code 2 vs Code 3). I really regret not giving both forms to the biometrics technician and I'm considering driving back out there next week.

Happy Friday everyone. My I-485 status was updated on Aug 18 :) My biometrics appt was on Aug 12.

 

I am happy to see the progress but trying not to get too excited about it, considering the backlog that USCIS has.

The good news is that even if the President vetos the bill, both the House and Senate can vote on it again. If 2/3 agree that the bill is important, the veto gets overturned. The president isn't always the final say which is part of the checks and balances. 

 

We just have to wait to see what the Senate says. 

Happy Monday 🙂

Happy Monday 🙂

Obama Vetoed 12 Bills but only 1 was overturned by congress. Trump has vetoes 8 so far, 0 of them have been overturned. Getting 2/3 majority is nearly impossible in congress. 

But I like your optimism 😉

I thought they are on recess. Can they pass bills during this time? Or have they already back

at work?

They were on recess. Madam speaker called the House of representatives back because of the USPS issue. However, Senate is still on recess. So, nothing is moving until Senate comes back. Recess ends on Sep 10th.
