I just received my biometrics appointment letter yesterday!! :dance: At last, so happy about that. I was so worried because it'll be 60days next week after they received my package. I don't know what's taking my case so long, but I'm happy about the development. My appointment will be on the 29th. Funny thing is I called the USCIS yesterday morning, and made a follow up about my case, and by noon, I got my bio letter... you think I should call back and inform them that I already received the letter?

I'm thinking of going to the local office and do my biometrics earlier though. Anyone who tried this without a problem?

congrats to you..

maybe I will get mines soon too :D.

Its all for LOVE..

I called USCIS @ 800-375-5283 and listened to a very long menu <_<

Finally got the option to press *1 for a live person.

They didn't have anything new for me only the same status as the online one.

I informed the USCIS gentleman who spoke like a robot :P of my issue, that I didn't receive my BIOMETRIC Appointment letter yet and he took my information and gave me a reference number and told me they will contact me within 45 days :wacko:

anyways just wanted to share my experience.

Its all for LOVE..

You should be able to go in early without any issues.

By the way, is your appointment in Charlotte or Raleigh-Durham?

yeah, Finally!

It'll be at Raleigh-Durham. I see you just had yours there too, how was it? We have no idea where exactly it is, so we'll just rely on GPS. How early you were at the office? we'll tour around the city right after the appointment too, I'm excited! :D

It was awesome. In and out in 10 mins and they are very friendly there. I was there like 5 minutes before appointment time. But I would like to soft-warn you about finding the place. (Ha ha! I'm starting to use USCIS language everywhere.... like soft touch and hard touch... Maybe I should apply for a job there.) We couldn't find it on our GPS, so you may want to check whether yours does find that Roycroft Rd before hand. We actually started out early in the morning and when we entered the address in the GPS and it couldn't detect it, I came back home and printed directions out on google maps. And even then it was a little confusing. Once you get to a street close by called Central Park, there'll be a big inn there, the USCIS office will be in front of that.

It may be my GPS issue, but doesn't hurt to check in advance I guess. :)

Good luck! :)
