Congrats.

From what I have seen the biometrics letter should be in your mail in a week or so, they will basically tell you when your husband has been appointed for fingerprinting and picture taking and at what center.

Expressed mailed on Monday, Feb 4. They received on Feb 5. Received 3 texts/emails on Sunday @ 11pm, but they were dated Monday Feb 11. Hope we don't get any RFE's and that everything goes smoothly. The good thing about this is that now he's here with me rather than thousands of miles away.

Now waiting for letters in the mail with official NOA1/EAD/Biometrics etc.

We mailed ours the end of January, they got it Feb 1. I have all 3 hard copies of the NOAs, all dated Feb 5, and the biometrics appointment hard copy (appointment for 3/1). Also, our case status online has been updated. My husband got the email and the case came up "doesn't exist" when I tried to enter the number that day. But a couple days later all three receipt numbers were there.

We're also most anticipating the EAD.
