Waiting for biometrics letter over 200days

[Margot999 0]

Hello. Is anyone waiting for the biometrics appointment letter over 200days after applying AOS? I sent my AOS package on June 2021 and the status says ‘Fingerprint fee was received’. It doesn’t change from 200 days ago… USCIS processing time is about 10 to 24months, but it seems most of people who applied AOS these days gets biometrics letter really quick.(about 1-2months?) I keep asking the live agent of Emma but they always answer, just wait at least 24months. Is anything I can do now, just waiting? If anyone know something, please tell me. Thank you.

Did you apply for EAD and AP concurrently?

I filed for my AOS in February 2021. And only today I had my biometrics appointment. It takes much longer due to COVID.

It may depend on the resources of your local office - have you tried  querying the timelines on this site with filters for your visa type and local office?  Enable advanced mode will let you see the filing date, NOA received, and Biometrics appointment info for other cases for comparison.

Thank you for the reply. How to check which office is ‘local office’ for me? There is no office near me… Is the nearest one gonna be my local office?

Then you'll likely get called in when you are closer to the out of normal processing time limit at the NBC for EAD/AP.

 

EAD and AP are seperate from I485.

I don't know if the cases are moved around to balance workloads, but probably whatever shows up when you search at https://www.uscis.gov/about-us/find-a-uscis-office/field-offices  will be your office.

 

Our biometrics were done at an application support center - you can find those at https://egov.uscis.gov/office-locator/#/asc .
