[ivy19 0]

Hello guys, LIN filer here, I filed my case on Dec 7th 2019 (Seattle, WA) and case still stuck at Case was received status. I did call USCIS and they told me to wait until Oct. Anyone here in the same situation?

 

Thanks,

I think you are still within processing time. Did you speak with a tier 2 officer?. I don't think you have anything to worry about, USCIS does not have a specific rule of thumb in case processing. I would bet there are people in LIN still waiting before you

I think it is ''normal''. Mine took almost around 8 months to update after received

Thank you for your response. How do I contact tier-2 officer?

Was 8 months the period time to update the status or to get the biometric done? I haven't even got the biometric update/appointment yet.

I filed in July 2019 (LIN filer as well) and my case is still at Case was Received, no updates since extension letter.

 

I've called and was told it's still within normal processing time.

Call the USCIS Customer Service Number 1-800-375-5283 after you get through, ask the tier one information specialist that you like to be transferred to a tier 2 officer, you have to give a strong reason for the transfer. You will be asked for a call back number since the wait time is usually long. Just make sure you keep your phone handy and fully charged..lol.......

I am also waiting since July 2019 as a person above...it’s craziness. A lot of cases around mine already approved and show any kind of movement...called 10000 times- useless.

I agree with you, calling a million times won't move the case timeline. The only thing that I believe move a case is either AR-11 - If transferring to a different jurisdiction; filing N-400 which can force action on your case and finally getting your senator/rep involved if case is out of normal processing time. 

 

All cases above and below my receipt number have been approved while mine is still stuck as "fingerprint applied"...I also think each case officer handling determine how fast your case get processed.

Biometrics take 10-11 months? Do you mean the time you were waiting between case received and biometrics was about 10 months? This is ridiculous!!!

 

Below is my timeline

6/17/2020 mailed out I-751 

6/19/2020 USCIS received and provided case number

6/28/2020 USCIS withdrawal $680

6/30/2020 USCIS sent out I-797 to let us know they received our appication and extended 18 months of conditional resident status

Until then, we never heard anything back.

 

I was doing the website research, most of the people are saying the biometrics appointment is about 4 weeks after they sent out I-797. I think the 9 weeks that we have been waiting is just around the corner. Do anyone know more about the timeline? or any idea how longer to wait for the biometrics?

There are two of us in this thread who filed in July 2019 and have not done biometrics yet. It's possible that previous biometrics may be used but neither of us have had any notice stating that. 

 

I believe we have both filed N400 now, so hopefully that forces some kind of progress.

Interesting... If whatever you said is truth from the fact that using the previous biometrics, so that I wonder why they charged me for that additional $80 for biometrics if I am not required to get the biometrics done or using the previous biometrics?

It's standard procedure. Everyone gets charged that, just think of it as part of the application!

It's now more than 1 year since the time I filed the application, status is still stuck at "Case was received". It's so frustrating.
