Will there be any change to my online status after biometrics?

[LDora 7]

I was transferred to the CSC, and I had my biometrics about a month ago. I know the online case status is notoriously slow about updating these days, but I was just curious if it should change from "pending" to anything else at some point before approval, barring an RFE. I've been checking every day, but I don't know what I would be looking for. Would it just say "pending" until I was either approved or rejected unless I had an RFE?

it'll say pending but if u sign up for email updates you'll get updates only when something significant occurs in ur case...like card production ordered, welcome letter mailed..EAD approved...etc. for every other routine 'touch' u'll see the corresponding info online but you wont get any email notification. \offcourse, the entire process could be over and the online status thingy wil still state..pending so don't bother with it too much..in actuality, mine kicked up after the biometrics but it wasnt really helpful after that.

After biometrics your case status will not change - will remain pending until it is approved. Most will see a 'touch' (Last Update Date) matching the date of the biometrics (but of course not always).

Thanks guys! I've signed up for e-mail updates, so I'll stop checking obsessively until I hear some real news.

Then you will be better thatn most! Even with email updates you will still be checking it regularly...even though its useless as it never changes. You will ikely have the GC in hand before it ever changes. Useless system!

Heck, ours still says they received our case September 29th and it's pending at MSC. We never got a touch, had the biometrics in 0ctober 2008 and out interview is next month.
