Hi guys just curious about how long after you all received your biometrics letter after receiving your NOA1 letter. Seems like appointments for bio's at Vermont Service Center are around 5 weeks or so after the date of the NOA1 letter, but curious to find out if it is a week after the NOA1 letter or more. This isn't life or death as we already received the NOA1 but it is kind of like waiting to open gifts at XMas (well maybe more like waiting to get a tooth pulled!)

It really depends on what local office will be scheduling your biometrics. Some offices schedule appointments about a month out, so appointment letters are received a week or two after your NOA1, for others appointments and letters are many weeks or even months from the NOA1. (There are variations, but appointment letter seems to arrive about 3 weeks prior to the appointment date.) If you look at some of threads for past months (Sept or Oct filers) you can get an idea of the ranges of waits for different local offices.

Best of luck with your application....hoping you have a speedy approval!
