Well mine came back as rejected on Monday after 3 weeks.... They said they could not see the beneficiary info (missing pages) so I have to fix it. I pulled the package and the page was inside stamped by them so I do not what the guy was looking at. I went online that night refilled I130 online this time and this weekend I will send back the rest. I lost one month just because they did not pay attention.

wow that's crazy! do you get a refund in instances like this??

I would definately email them.

You don't ask you don't get. It is not a crime to ask and double check, yes even if their SLA is 30 days. You only making sure.

It seems like USCIS is experiencing internal delays in issuing receipts right now as per what I read in other forums.

 

Will definitely mail them.

They did not charge me, when they reject the file it takes 3 weeks to get it back and they don't charge you.

That is awful! So sorry to hear that.

 

Did they cut monies? if so did they refund?

No they did not. I read on another thread that when they don't cash your check within  a week more than likely it will come back so I knew it was coming back but I was surprised to see the missing pages was in the package.

That's not good. I wonder the delay has to do with the start of a new fiscalyear at October 1st. Where was this posted?

Insane! I know that must be frustrating for you, especially when you got the package back and it does include the very thing they said it didn't have. 

Don't get discouraged however. Make sure everything is in tip top form and resend it. All will be well. Just a minor setback which may end up being to your benefit.

Does anyone know if biometrics will be required if I had them done in Nov 2019 for my H1B? Read somewhere that they could waive it if they already have records.

Welcome! We have similar timelines so would be cool to follow each others progress along the way. I'm not to sure about the biometrics, though I've seen that they're valid for 15 months? I'm not 100% sure though...

 

Timeline:

 

• September 18th 2021 - Filed I-130 online, received PDF I-797 same day with priority date of September 19th 2021
• September 20th 2021 - Mailed Packet with I-485, I-693, I-864, I-131, I-765
• September 22nd 2021 - USPS confirms delivery of packet
• September 25th 2021 - USPS informed delivery of letter from DHS (probably I-797 for I-130), it was.
• September 26th 2021 - SMS notification of receipt numbers for I-485, I-765, I-131 at 6:22pm PST
• September 28th 2021 - Money Orders cashed according to USPS
• September 30th 2021 - USPS informed delivery of 3 letters from USCIS NBC (probably I-797s for other forms) - received.
• October 2nd 2021 - Biometrics appointment scheduled according to case status checker
• October 3rd 2021 - USPS informed delivery for letter from DHS (probably biometric appointment letter). Asked “EMMA” for my online access code and got it. Biometric Appointment scheduled for October 27th 2021 at 10am. The access code was for all three forms I-485, I-765 and I-131.

So I went into May2021 thread and there people were found waiting for their NOAs for over a month!

 

My (conspiracy) theory is that USCIS might have tried to aggressively process the NOA's for the last weeks of September2021 in order to score better numbers for the cases-processed for the fiscal year that ended on September 30th. 

 

Another fantastic thing I have noticed is that USCIS I864-EZ form has expired on 09/30/2021 however their website has no updated form on their site.

Thank you that is exactly what I did and will be sending it back tomorrow.

So i asked a paralegal friend who works in a ny immigration firm abt reusing biometrics. What she told me is that if its been taken outside of US, they wont use that. I read a thread in reddit that they are practicing 2 years vs 15 Months. who knows what is the truth about their process seems like there really isnt a pattern to anything with uscis! 
good luck to allllllll!

if that's the case it sucks that they still charge you the $85 biometrics service fee 😕
