AOS 234 days waiting from Biometrics appt

[ShahnazSyahr 7]

Hi, I'm a Sept 2019 fillers, we had our biometrics appt on 16 Oct 2019. Since then, the case is still "case was updated to show fingerprints were taken", we've been waiting for 234 days since we had our biometrics. Our local office is in Baltimore and I see there a little bit longer process compared to the other office. But we did received our combo card in early January. Does anyone here having same experience? Or there is something wrong with my case?

Did anyone get the biometric appointment recently ? I have been waiting for more than 2 months and there is no updates yet ..  I understand it's taking longer because they were closed, but they supposed to reopen June 4 right ?

ASC's are still closed with no open date. Until then dont expect any biometric appointments.

I’ve been waiting for 2 months as well. Filed in April before the shutdown. Offices don’t open until July 13th. Time for a long wait...

I have received NOA on 18th April and still waiting for bometrics. My question is does this will effect to EAD?  I am more concern about to get EAD and get to back on desk.

It deffo will affect, they can't make a decision without biometrics and considering the fact that there are loads of people like you in the same boat it will take a while for them to process the case. At this point USCIS offices are open, but they prioritize naturalization cases, then I guess it will beAOS appointments, so it will take a while for them to get to biometric data appointments. 

From my personal experience I got approved for EAD and received Case is Ready to Be Scheduled for An Interview for my adjustment of status two days after. Luckily for me it was pretty fast, even with RFE everything took less than 5 months. So I hope they will speed up the process for you guys too.

I found one timeline , Who got approved for EAD without bio appointment! [ it is "James120383"] . 

So I was wondering if they missed to update about bio or really it could happen!!

@ShahnazSyahr my husband and I are in a similar situation. We filed Sept 2019 and did biometrics in early October. Based on other timelines I do think it’s a long time to wait without update, even despite COVID. We live in NYC and have long wait times too but saw a lot of people (pre-COVID) with interviews scheduled who filed after us. We ended up having an RFE that we took care of in March. It can’t hurt to call a tier 2 officer to just check.

Hi! Thank you so much for reached me back. So sorry for the RFE, but I'm glad you took care of it already, If you dont mind, may I know what RFE that they need from you? 

I see in the timeline in Baltimore they have really such a long wait, last time I didnt see any that has interview scheduled after my timeline, but you're right, probably need to call them. Where should I call them? The baltimore uscis or central uscis?

Thanks!

Yours is identical to ours. We also filed in Sept and have received our combo card also in January. Since then it's just waiting with no updates. Our local office is Sacramento CA.

We had an RFE asking for my proof of income. I didn’t realize I had to send that as the USC. I submitted it with our K1 packet but left it out of AOS.

I call the number for USCIS (+1-800-375-5283) and follow the prompts entering our case number then there’s a number you can press for “an issue with your case” after you enter the case number and that takes you to an actual person. You can search this forum, those exact directions are listed elsewhere. Then once you talk with someone you can ask if they have details on your case, if not ask for a tier 2 officer and they’ll usually have one call you the same day.

Where did you find the July 13th date? I am in the same boat as you as well.
