Hey guys just checking in to see if you may know the answer to this question. So we went the CR1 route and my wife received her NOA back in January. We are being processed at the MSC. Any idea how long until we know when the interview or biometrics may be or if they are even required during the pandemic? Thank you!

I think biometrics are always required. They have been reusing biometrics but If you haven’t had biometric in the US before, I think most likely you will have an appointment. When? It depends how busy is that area where you live. Same thing for interview, it depends how busy your local office is. Some people on smaller towns get their appointments fast while others living in big cities have to wait longer times. In other words it is difficult to guess.

Well, Our RFIE response got to USCIS today, finally. Took a week to show up on USCIS online. The lawyer used regular mail. We have to wait and see what is next. Ciongrats on all the 10y GC approvals.

Guys! This is my first time posting, but I've been following for a while. I just got a call from my attorney with a letter of approval for 10 year Green Card with removal of restrictions. OMG i can't believe it. Just got pics and new GC will be recieved in 60 days?

Is this normal? I thought we were suppose to wait more than 2 years or so?

Just checked the Nov file and noticed that many SRC folks got 10 years green card already.

🥺 WAC seems no movement since Sept filers still waiting for Biometrics.

The waiting game is getting unpredictable 🥺

Any idea how long to expect an answer from our RFE?

 

RFE issued 2/13/2021 

Response to RFE at USCIS 3/23/2021

 

Somewhere in reddit they said anywhere between 30 and 90 days currently, but after 87 days some ppl still no answer. Has someone recently gotten an answer? We sent it to SRC (Texas)

Hi guys. 
 

My 4/1 update: “Case Was Updated To Show Fingerprints Were Taken”. They reused the ones they had taken when I got the first GC. 
 

On average, does anyone know how long it takes from when this finger prints stage happens to GC approval (removal of conditions)? On the Google doc, I’m seeing on average about a month. I’m YSC. 
 

thoughts? 
 

good luck everyone

I'm not sure anyone can answer that, unless you find a YSC specific thread. I checked the Sept. and Oct. spreadsheets and nobody had been approved from YSC.

MSC here, and no fingerprint waiver either. Still says November 13, Case Received :dead:

Getting there, slowly but surely...  (I hope )

 

Together (well...mostly the Transatlanticism kind of together) Since 12/2013

 

CR-1:

 

Married in Sweden 8/2017
(Well Frontloaded) I-130 Sent 12/2017
CR-1 Approved 10/2018
POE LAX 01/11/2019

 

I-751:

 

I-751 Package Sent with UPS 11/11/2020
I-751 Received by the AZ Lockbox 11/13/2020
I-751 Check Cashed 12/31/2020
I-797 (with My Last Name Misspelled...) Received by Mail 1/2/2021

Biometrics Appointment Received by Mail...too bad I am in Europe right when it's supposed to take place 🤯 6/14/2021

Rescheduled Biometrics Appointment, the biometric technician can't change the misspelled name on file, but he enters the correct spelling of my last name as an alias 8/2/2021

Interview Ready to Be Scheduled 10/13/2021

(Two Days Later) Interview Was Scheduled 😱 10/15/2021

I-751 Interview, Petition Approved 🥳 11/19/2021

Case Status Changed to New Card Is Being Produced 11/19/2021

Case Status Changed to Case Was Approved 11/22/2021

Green Card Arrived in the Mail (Name Correctly Spelling, w00t) 11/27/2021

 

When USCIS Misspells Your Name:

 

Typographical error form filled on USCIS website 1/4/2021
Contacted USCIS if there has been any progress since THEIR error (Received a Tier 1 tracking number) 2/6/2021
Contacted USCIS again as the issue remains to be resolved (Received ANOTHER Tier 1 tracking number) 3/12/2021
Apparently USCIS chat is worthless; CALLED USCIS, Tier 1 agent promised that a Tier 2 agent would call me 4/28/2021
Received a call from a nice Tier 2 officer who said I may or may not get a correct extension letter, but just in case I would be scheduled an InfoPASS appointment 5/4/2021
Went to local USCIS service center and had to deal with a nasty and entitled customer service agent who refused to give me an I-551 stamp. National Benefits Center is supposed to mail me another I-797 within 7-10 days... So I had to waste my day, taking buses for two hours one-way just to deal with this lady's attitude? 5/7/2021

After anxiously monitoring our mailbox for a few days I DID receive a corrected I-797, w00t! All documents good to go ✅ Vaccinated ✅ Ready to visit my parents in Europe for the first time in 17 months!! ✅ 5/13/2021

The lesson: Don't use the chat for anything complicated, AND keep hassling USCIS for a response...
