Hello, I filed I-751 since January 12, 2021. Received my NOA on Feb 27 but still hasn't received Biometric Appointment Notice and it's been over 3 months now. Does this happen to anyone? I'm trying to contact them by the phone, sent e-request but has no luck. They never response. :( Any suggestion is much much appreciated here. Thank you!

Unfortunately that is the current reality. I am waiting for biometrics appointment (AOS) from November 16, 2020. I saw many people also from September 2020 (even earlier months) still waiting. There is a huge backblock for biometrics and the scheduling depends on availability in your local biometrics office. I would think that they will use your previous biometrics (from your AOS) and applied them to your current application.

Hi there! Thank you so much for sharing with me. Now I know that there's backlock and not that my notice is lost or something! Hope you get your notice real soon!

Depends on your service center. For example, California Service Center is looking at at least 6+ months to get any updates in regards to bio… hang in there!

@Chany, hi, yes, there is more backlog now with the pandemic. Historically, there has always been a backlog with the I-751 but the pandemic made it worse. There are still cases pending from 2019. 

 

Have you checked your case status online?

This is so sad... Hopefully I can have all these done by early next year :(
