Thanks for the input. 

 

From all the sifting through the forums the only thing I can come up with is that the primary advantage to having the biometrics waived is that it saves a trip from having to go through that whole exercise again. There just doesn't seem to be a clear pattern as to who gets waived and who doesn't other than the possibility that certain geographical areas are less or more backed up than others. 

 

I'm pretty sure that it being waived has no correlation to a requirement for interview....however having an interview at AOS does seem to have a bearing on whether or an additional interview is required. 

 

If someone can shed some more light on the topic that would be greatly appreciated. 

 

 

I'm not sure there is a correlation between biometrics and interview waivers. However, it does seem like the vast majority of people  (but not all) who did not get biometrics waivers are also the ones whose receipt number is MSC (National Benefits Center) and those applications are sent to local offices to schedule interviews, so perhaps there is a correlation.

Do the will and deed now. They're both things that shouldn't wait anyway, and it's good to show as much as you can for the entire history of your marriage. We sent several electric bills, covering the two plus years, and we only sent the first page for each, which shows both our names and address. I think it's really only with bank statements that you need to send every page, so they can see transactions and that you're not hiding anything. I don't think there's much to hide with a utility bill.

i will tell my husband to make Last will now, I think Last will is much easier to make. Thank you so much ❤️

Just received a notice in the mail from USCIS with a biometrics appointment date. 

 

I've been searching around the forums looking for some clarity on what it exactly means when you get your biometrics waived vs. having to redo your biometrics and I haven't been able to find a clear cut explanation. 

 

Is there some sort of advantage to having your biometrics waived vs. not? 

 

There doesn't seem to be a clear pattern as to who does and doesn't get an appointment scheduled. I know they are waiving a lot of biometrics simply because they are so backed up in some areas so could it be that where I am located geographically (Houston) the applications office isn't backed up so they figure they'd just have us come in for a biometrics anyways?

 

Thanks in advance for any clarifications. 

The main reason for Biometric Waiver is COVID restrictions, if restrictions get easier in Texas then that's why require biometrics , other reasons could be , if IO having a hard time to pull your previous biometrics , technical glitches ..etc .

We still have some time , before we apply for ROC. Do we need to submit the paperwork from the time our AOS application was accepted? or from the time Green Card was approved to the time of ROC application?

 

In our case. Our application was accepted in April 2020. GC was approved in Jan 2021.

 

So, Paperwork from May 2021 to Oct 2022 or Jan 2021 to Oct 2022?

 

Thanks for your help.

It's 90 days before your GC expires.

Hi! Firstable, I really appreciate anyone who passed by and leaves their comment, advice on this forum. I'm kinda in panic now because I dropped my I-751 package on 11/12 in ups, and my 90 day window opens is 11/13. However, the package is delivered and signed by one of the USCIS Phoenix officer on 11/15. Will they reject me? 

Again thank you so much for your timing and advice! Wishing all the good luck on your application as well.

I noticed that you got your answer to this on the November thread. Good luck to you.

Not true, it is the date USCIS lockbox receives the application not when the applicant signs. The OP is not too early.

Good to know ! so you are allowed to sign the application prior to the open eligibility window ?!! In my understanding the first thing they check signature and date signed !

I recently read of someone whose application was rejected because they mailed it a day early, even though it was received it on the correct day. It always pays to wait a couple of days after your window opens, just in case. 

[johnnyI129F 86]

Yes !  first thing they check signature and date signed ! in order to accept the application or reject it !

I wouldn't be surprised. Did  you just read this somewhere? I wasn't sure of it myself but, knowing how USCIS can be, we were cautious and dated it for the day our window opened.

I don’t think that is true. Unless is signed and sent early. I signed and dated mine almost a month before my window opened. I sent it a week later my window was opened and haven’t had any issues so far. I did it because I travel a lot for work and was gonna be flying domestic and international a lot during those dates.
