Hi all - some might remember me posting that I submitted my I-751 at CSC on April 2nd. I never received NOA1 to this day, but after 3 official service center inquiries, 2 visits to my local office, hours of attorney involvement, and even getting my local congresswoman involved, I finally received my biometric notice today, Sept 22nd.

My advice is the same as what pretty much everyone here gives to those who run into difficulties with USCIS -- use every single avenue that is available to you. Call, write, plead, go to your local office, bug them until they fix it, because they can't ignore you forever...

I don't think I've ever been this relieved... It's been 5 1/2 months of real agony walking to an empty mailbox every day...

Anyway, there's no new information in this post, but I do feel that you guys will understand, so thank you for allowing me to vent :) This forum is an amazing resource, it kept me sane all these months... Thanks!

sweet!!! You're right. Use every avenue available.

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies."

No - you don't need NOA1 (confirmation that case was received and extension letter) for biometrics, as far as I know. You just need NOA2 (biometrics appointment letter).

Since I never received NOA1 I have an I-551 stamp in my passport that lets me work and travel until July of next year (by which time I should receive my 10-year card).

Don't you need the NOA for the bio appointment? It's usually the first thing they ask for.

Hello Pascal07,

I'm sure you remember me from my other post. We received our biometrix appointment pretty much the same time as you did. We couldn't make it as wife was having baby that day. We went about about 10 days and got the biometrix done and today 09/24th we received a letter stating that they have received our biometrix on Sept 5th and case is pending. Do keep me posted with what happens with your case.
