Okay, we just had my wifes Biometrics appointment this morning. I was wondering approximately how long after peoples biometrics did it take for you to receive your I-751 approval notice and new 10 year green card? I asked the USCIS official at the counter and he said about 6 months but that seems kind of long when a lot of people get theirs sooner...is that just a generic answer so as to cover themselves?

Hi ..:

Yes it is possible to take that long or a bit more. Here are people that have been waiting 5 months already and as of myself I went for Biometrics on November 10th to Federal Plaza NY and nothing yet.

Regards

It's weird how everyone seems different...of course each case is different and involves different circumstances but some people have gotten their 10yr green card in under 2 months after biometrics while others have waited 6 months. I know that the Vermont Service Center is supposed to be the best/fastest so all i can do is hope we're in the 2 month category as so far everything we've submitted from the very begining has gone extremely well and we've always gotten our notices etc. much more quickly then most people it seems. Good luck to all!!!

Anybody else care to share their thoughts or personal experiences after Biometrics???

Take a look at the timeline search for lifting conditions. I believe there are 112 entries so maybe you can get an estimate from that. Good luck

Biometrics at local office in Norfolk, VA on October 18th, but no 10 year green card yet!
