Our NOA is dated July 26th and we got it in the middle of August. Of course we still have no biometric appointment. I know Reinhard had to wait 6 weeks or so(same local office) so we are getting close to that. I'll wait and see if we get the appt in a week or so.

But is it Tampa taking awhile to give the appts? Or is everyone else waiting for their bio appt who filed around when I did too?

(BTW our I751 was sent to TX and transfered to CA.)

Stina,

Not sure about this but I think it does have to do with availability of appointments at your ASC.

I've seen other people who received NOAs the same time or later as I did but got biometrics appointments earlier. Our ASC in Charlotte, NC is a pretty busy one and during my AOS I had to wait for almost 2 months just to get an appointment. Right now I have to wait for a month, from the Bio NOA date, to go to my Bio appointment.

I hope you get your biometrics appointment soon. The trend at CSC has been a GC approval within 10-14 days after the biometrics is completed. Something to look forward to!

We filed at VSC 7/15 and had biometrics 9/11.

Thanks for the replies. I guess we'll wait a little bit longer and see.

I have applied in July 17 and still don't have mine biometricks letter. I guess it is something to do with Tampa. Small office and a lot of people. So you aren't the only one.

Yako-
Thanks for the reply. Yeah I guess it's a Tampa problem. I hope you get your bio appt letter soon! I'll be interested to know when you get it.

I don't know if it's gotten any better but when my husband went for the bio for AOS filing at the Tampa/Brandon office, he was there for a couple hours. I hope they have gotten faster.

Late July filer in the same boat, no biometrics yet....

Still waiting...

Well, you should definitely call them. I think that it is possible they sent a letter to the wrong place or it got lost. You should have had it by now I am sure. I got my letter two weeks after the NOA date. I know each office is different, but your situation strikes me as particularly odd.

Hope you get it soon. More than two months and no bio letter seems odd.

I am not sure who I'd call. Does the national customer service even handle inquiries to biometrics appts? It seems it'd be a local thing.

Yako-if you read this, have you gotten an appt yet?

I just called the customer service line for the heck of it. I got no info of course, because our case # still doesn't bring up a case. So calling that number won't help anything. I'm guessing I'd have to call local congressmen/women or representatives, or make an Infopass appt. We'll wait another week and see.

yeah. call your congress person AND make an infopass appointment

Had the same problem, you can read it here - http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...c=82318&hl=

I filed my forms in the end of June and got a bio day for October 10. I thought before they just forgot to schedule biometrics for me but reading you guys I think it's a Tampa problem- that office might be really very busy... especially after INS got an avalanche of papers in July...

Melissa,
Thanks for the info. I did receive your PM awhile ago but totally forgot to reply!

Glad you finally got the appt.

We are waiting for biometrics in Tampa for our (3rd) EAD (received 7/24). This happened as well when we applied for AOS & the intial EAD. I started a thread in site discussion as I was trying to find other local members who have applications pending due to the slowness of the ASC. I guess I can take my assumption as being correct.

Yeah, Tampa is going slow!! I hope we all get our bio letters soon...

There is a member in the AOS forum who applied for AOS late August and has their biometrcs scheduled for 10/20

What on earth..Tampa is so annoying!

I am hoping its a *priority* kind of thing. The hubster's EAD does not expire until December, but its a bit unnerving!

(I really cannot believe they would be that oprganized though)

Well...we got the appt letter today! The appt is Nov 1st at 9am. Anyone else get one?? Hope so!

that's great! I bet you are relieved...

Congrats!!!

I had my fingerprints done yesterday. I expected to see a lot of people and spend a couple hours waiting. We arrived at 11 am and were throught by 11:30. It seemed to be a lazy day at the office, at least for that part where you have your bios taken... I was kind of surprised...

got ours too - Oct 27th.

Good!

great news, guys!

I mailed the I-751 package at the end of July, and got the NOA at the end of August.I am trying to track the process, but I can't find any information on the uscis' website with the case number which shows on NOA.It always shows error number when i type the case number online, but i am sure it's the same as the NOA. Does anyone know what 's the problem?

It's normal. I thought it was weird too, but if you read the bottom of the NOA it says after receiving your biometrics (ASC) appt you can view your status online. We have rec'd the ASC letter but still cannot look at the status online, I think only after the biometrics appts are completed does it show online.

Just thought I'd post that Sujeet's biometrics were this morning. He had a 9am appt, but left early for it incase of bad traffic. Well he got there by 8:10am and was done in 30 mins, not too bad! He hadn't gotten any biometrics done for about 3 years, and they are in a new office since then with more staff and less waiting times.

Where is the new office? The last one we went to was just off of SR 60 close to Hwy. 301.

Good luck with a quick approval.

Same complex area, just a different suite.

Good luck to you too!

Thanks.
