We were scheduled for March 19 biometrics. Would expect we will have one of the earliest appointments but as of yet have heard nothing. Will share when we do. 

i was scheduled on the 18th, and my husband also said that we should be getting rescheduled first. hope he is right but i dont think that is how USCIS works...

 

Called the Help Line 2 days ago for an update on my case and to confirm if they are for sure sending out rescheduling notification on 29th. and the lady told me they do not have a date for that or the reopening of office yet....

 

People starting to receive their interview scheduling notification for July in Taiwan ( nothing has ever been shut down there at all), so hopefully things would get back to normal in the US as well...

Heard this info from immigration attorney, that rescheduling of fingerprint appointment starts from 29th of June to 3rd of July and offices will start taking biometrics on July 13th.

She also mentioned that we have to be very attentive not to miss invitation or appointment because there is a possibility that USCIS have to let go more than 3 000 people in August due to lack of finance and those who miss their next step might not get any document done.

@W.Rominger So you never did biometrics, but your EAD card was approved today?

Thats so awesome! Congrats. I hope something like this happens to my wife. We could use a pick me up like this. The only time she took fingerprints was in airport too at POE. We are like 10 days after you in filing so fingers crossed! 🤞

Quick question, 

Is anyone from February still not getting the “case ready for interview” status? 
 

can you get the EAD without getting the “case ready for interview” status? Asking for a friend 😊

@W.Rominger just to be clear, does your status for the I-485 still say "Fingerprint Fee was Received"?...but you still got approved fro I-765. Because if thats the case we are in similar shape and I am riding the hope wave based on whats is happening to you, that soon it will happen to us. Thanks for all the info.

 

@MayceMir Did you also not have biometrics? What is your status looking like.

 

Because based on both your timelines, my wife is literally not far behind.

I dont have update on my I485 even after the call to USCIS and request an update. And my i765 did get approved yesterday. my bio was scheduled on 3/18, one of those got hit the 1st wave...

and sorry for the typo i made in 1st post, i meant bio exam was NOT rescheduled, nothing is mail box yet.... Hope to get the rescheduling mail soon
