8 weeks and still no biometrics letter

[mellowgeorge 1]

Hello folks.

It is now exactly 8 weeks since my concurrent I-130/I-485 was received. I have all the NOAs showing that they've received it and the fees are correct.

I called USCIS 2 weeks ago and they basically couldn't do anything but told me to call in when it has been 60 days since the receipt of the application. I haven't called yet (I'll call tomorrow) but is there anything else that I can do?

This is so frustrating.

I don't know if the time line for your bio is still in or out the average days from your NOAs. Some cases are differ...I've read some cases that they haven't received their bio letters but after few months they received their NOAs for bio and interview which is conducted at the same time. Who knows?

Yes...very frustrating. We received our bio about 1 1/2 months after we filed. I can feel your pain when you see the average wait time to be about three weeks. Just hang in there. Calling USCIS before the 60 days is only going to frustrate you more. But on day 60 if you have not received anything, demand a service request from the IO on the phone. In fact, bypass the first service rep. THEY CAN DO NOTHING. (gr?) You want to escalate the call...so...here's a trick. You will automatically be sent to an IO if you tell the first rep, you have NOT received a receipt number nor have you received a cancelled check. Then tell them it has been more then 30 days since you filed your application. The rep will then tell you he/she will have to escalate the call!! Yup, then you'll be on your way to talking with someone who can actually snoop around and give you some definitive answers or at the very least put in a service request. This is much better than telling the whole story to the first rep only to have them tell you, "I need to escalate this call...or worse...you get someone who is determined to answer questions he/she has no way of answering and REFUSE to transfer/escalate the call. A short time after speaking with the IO and getting the service request, your bio appointment will be imminent.

Good luck!
