Why that spread sheet is good to compare how long things are taking. I suspect the other EAC members will see similar results.

Yes yes certainly. I hope so as well 😊

I got my letter, Biometrics have been Waived, using the old prints..... Glad we don't have to miss work.

Letter was dated on the 15th so it was 11 days after the date of the NOA date which was 9/4/2020 for all you EAC Receipt holders. Be interesting to see what the other service centers will do.

Hi @Bob in Boston would you know if they took the Biometrics from the your spouse when they applied for the CR1 visa at their original country ? I had my biometrics taken during my previous I-751 (which was denied later), so I am assuming if they would have that and wouldnt require me to go for another one. 

 

USCIS Account

Does anyone know if I need a receipt number to create USCIS account ? Does having USCIS account help with getting updates faster than waiting for a mail.

No you don't need to have a receipt number to create USCIS account. But you do need it in order to add it into your account.

 

Personally I use an app that can track the case so it is way easier than opening the website everytime.

I don't know why you were denied but they might want to take a closer look at you and not want to waive you. My wife had her Biometrics done at the adjustment of status  so that is why they are not making her do it again. 
Your online account only has information you provide. If you don't have case numbers they wont have any info on you. you can put your old cases in there but that's it.

@Bob in Boston by case number I assume you meant Receipt number ? For which I guess I have to wait for the I-797 to arrive.

Thats great news Bob. Interested to know if you will get back the biometrics fee seeing as its been waived or will they keep it?

Hey Guys ! 
Do you guys think USCIS will use my old biometric again?  Due to , back in August 2018 I applied for EAD/AP Re-Newal they used my previous biometrics ( 9/17) for that but later in November 2018 of that year I got my GC. 
 

- How many times do you think  a previous  biometric can be used?

I think it really depends. I feel they just do this because of the pandemic. Otherwise, i am pretty sure they would ask everybody to provide biometrics again.

 

And technically, if they want I think they can always use the same fingerprints as your fingerprints don't really change
