Congrats! That’s an encouraging news — I had my fingerprints taken almost 2 years ago and have heard absolutely nothing since then. Hopefully mine is not too far down the line!

Thank you! Hmm.. I doubt that's what it was, my permanent residency only started on January 2021 (although I've lived here for over a decade as a student).. I didn't go through AOS so I wasn't expecting to be waived because they don't already have my biometrics.

Mine got sent to the National Benefits Center. Roughly a month turnaround seems to be the norm lately (mine is a little less than a month).

Hello! End-of-October filer here, so I'll be looking at both the October and November threads 31 OCT 2022: Sent ROC packet out via UPS. 7 NOV 2022: Received text from USCIS: “Your case was received. Official Receipt Notice (Form I-797C) to follow in mail." 12 NOV 2022: Received I-797 NOA in the mail (dated 7 NOV 2022), 24 months extension. 21 NOV 2022: Received I-797C Biometrics appointment in the mail (dated 12 NOV 2022) for 29 NOV 2022. Called USCIS today to try to move my biometrics appointment to a different state because I am/was planning to go on a work trip to that state next week but the agent said it wasn't possible. At least she was nice about it, and offered if I'd like to change the date instead -- I declined because I'd just be on another work trip then. She also offered to look up my case's processing time (unprompted, which was kind), and at first she said 18 months (which I figured), but then she looked up something further (not sure what, I was distracted with having to possibly change my work trip plans) and came back to me with an August 2023 date. Again, I was distracted so I just said, "great, sounds good, thanks!" After hanging up I realized that August 2023 is practically around the corner and I wish I had paid more attention to what she was telling me. Ha!

Our check had our old address (two addresses back, in fact) on it and USCIS cashed it out no issue.

I wish I had the option not to. These trips had been set in motion months ago and my team wouldn't be happy if I bailed last minute. In hindsight, I would have delayed my ROC application had I known that biometric appointments tend to happen fairly quickly after the initial submission..

Hello! End-of-October filer here, so I'll be monitoring both the October and November threads 31 OCT 2022: Sent ROC packet out via UPS 7 NOV 2022: Received text from USCIS: “Your case was received. Receipt # (removed). Official Receipt Notice (Form I-797C) to follow in mail. Msg & Data rates may apply. DO NOT REPLY” 12 NOV 2022: Received I-797 NOA in the mail, 24 months extension Now anxiously waiting for biometrics schedule — I’ll be gone for business trips and vacations for a total of 6 weeks in the next two months so there’s a high probability that they’ll schedule me while I’m away. Does anyone know if you can reschedule biometrics appointment more than once..?
