If you haven't received bio letter after 30 days of NOA1 date...

[windycity 1]

1. Your letter is still on its way.

or

2. Your bio appointment hasn't even scheduled yet.

Both don't help you guys. I know.

My wife's NOA1 date was 11/8/10 but hadn't received the bio letter for more than 30 days.

So she called USCIS on 12/13/10, made a service request for non-delivery,

and received the letter from USCIS on 12/16/10.

It says...

Our record indicate that your biometrics appointment is pending due to limited capacity at your local Application Support Center (ASC).

We will schedule an appointment for you when a time becomes available at the ASC and mail you an appointment notice.

We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience.

We were quite surprised that USCIS send the status letter that fast (less than a week!!),

but disappointed that it will take quite a while to finish this process.

Well... what can we do.

If you want to make a service request...

1. Call USCIS 1-800-375-5283

2. #1 for English

3. #2 for filed case

4. #6 for talking to the representative

5. You will receive the same letter as ours within a week or you'll receive the bio letter someday.

Good luck!

I am in the same boat. I live in Northern VA, and called USCIS last week. Apparently, the customer service person told me that ASC in this area is really backlogged. It will take up to 60 days to get a biometric appointment. She said there were a lot of people waiting. Let's pray that we will get the notice soon!!!!!

I called USCIS on 12/13/10, NOA1 date was 11/12/10. Now I didn't receive the letter from USCIS.

Hi guys! Not 30 days yet but have a feeling I am going to be in the same boat. I guess no early bio either ;(

Don't fret guys, I filed mine end of September, I believe.. and didn't get a letter for biometrics until early December. We did get the letter, though, that my husband could travel in the year his case was being reviewed. Also, to note, our location was changed. His first biometrics was in a different city.. does sound like its backlogged.

ditto, been 30 days after receiving the NOA, called in a put a service request that we haven't received an appt schedule (was getting worried). Also, checking the status online (or phone) with the receipt number said it was "invalid".

hopefully its just a backlog and guess we'll find out in another 30 days....sigh.

I am on the same situation here. I'm from Maryland but my ASC is in Alexandria. I called USCIS and I was told to call again if I don't recieve the appointment in 30 days

I filled I-751 received NOA Nov 1/2010 from VSC. Waiting for biom letter. I called customer service. They gave a ref number and wait 30 days to call back if I haven't received.

[windycity 1]

Did any of you guys go to 8850 Richmond Highway, Alexandria, VA 22309 for AOS?

When I went there for my wife's AOS two years ago, the place was EMPTY.

I really can't believe there's backlog that long right now.

When we moved from CSC jurisdiction to VSC, I thought all the process will be shorter.

K-1 visa in CSC took a lot longer than VSC three years ago.

I couldn't be more wrong. Sigh.

You need the receipt number from bio appointment letter to check your status online.

So you can't check your status until you receive the bio letter.

We were in the same boat. We filed in October and received our bio appointment letter this past Saturday. We live in Maryland as well. Baltimore is our local office, however, the biometrics appointment is for Glenmont.

Best of Luck to all those who are still waiting!

I went there for AOS in the end of 2008, it was moderately busy back then. Come on nation's capital!

Thanks again. Not losing hope

Merry Xmas all.
