Is anyone who filed in June still waiting for their biometrics appointment letter?

 

We filed the AOS packet in early June, and haven't heard anything since receiving the NOA in mid June. We're in Southern California.

We are still waiting. We did receive an RFE and they received the response July 14th. I hope they hurry because my husband needs to work and his driver’s license expire in October

USCIS has cancelled the furlough plans. Instead they are planning budget cuts in the department. 

Indeed it’s great news!

It's not really that great...these people always speak with a forked tongue...

 

Quote from USCIS director...

 

"Averting this furlough comes at a severe operational cost that will increase backlogs and wait times across the board, with no guarantee we can avoid future furloughs"

"Averting this furlough comes at a severe operational cost that will increase backlogs and wait times across the board, with no guarantee we can avoid future furloughs"

This. I like to stay positive but you always have to read between the lines:

 

Quote

The additional cost savings come through the descoping of federal contracts that assist USCIS adjudicators in processing and preparing case files as well as a myriad of other support activities. Anticipated operational impacts include increased wait times for pending case inquiries with the USCIS Contact Center, longer case processing times, and increased adjudication time for aliens adjusting status or naturalizing. Naturalization ceremonies will continue. Previously, members of Congress requested that agency leadership avoid operational cuts of this magnitude. However, Congress must still act on a long-term solution that will provide USCIS with the necessary financial assistance to sustain the agency throughout FY 2021 and beyond.

So while it looks like a win, it is not really a win. We still need Congress to do something.

*Packet was mailed without I-693 medical. Will wait for an RFE and take it to the interview. Also, tax transcripts were not available at the time so copies of the tax returns were sent and a cover letter explaining why. 

 

**Included tax transcripts in RFE response since I was now able to gain access since sending the application.

They act like they were doing a good job to begin with...There are thousands of people who can attest to the fact that this agency is completely broken from top to bottom...

We had our biometrics appointment yesterday - In and out in about 10 minutes, and even though it was coded as a 2, they did all fingerprints - Woke up this morning to two status updates:  Biometrics complete for EAD and AOS!
