Hi June filers! :)

1. Anybody from Wisconsin?

2. What do we need to take to biometrics?

TIA

 

 

Hi,

 

You need to take biometrics appointment notice, completed form (that you receive with the notice) and a photo identification.

 

Good luck!

It might sound like a silly question but, to all the people who got their application rejected and who had sent money orders, what happens to the money orders? Do you have to pay the fees again? 

If they rejected your application, they won't cash the check or charge you in any form. You just need to sign a new one and include it in your package when you send it back.

My first time, I sent a personal check. They stamped their name (DHS something or other) over where I wrote their name, but it was not voided. I could have resubmitted it directly. I submitted a credit card payment for my second submission

Thanks! I hope it’s an easy fix. 
 

Also, does this mean my EAD and AP processing will halt?

I'm not sure. Hopefully someone else can speak to that. I thought they were processed separately. Might be able to find the answer to that in general forum.

Hey,  Did you get RFE by "EMAIL"  or  "Phone Text" or "Physical Copy" ?   If it's an email, was it sent to your attorney or to your personal email ?

Got it. So we now know that USCIS is updating online status and automated email for "RFE"s and not for "Biometrics".  Did you happen to submit your Medicals (I-693) and Long form birth certificate in your application ? 


That’s true. May be they don’t update for biometrics.
 

I did not submit I-693, along with AOS package. I am planning to take it to my interview. In April/May I have heard that USCIS sent RFE for I-693, and now since the offices are open they send the courtesy letter.
 

I believe that I sent the long form of the birth certificate. My country only provide one form of translations.

 

I remember you gave your biometrics two days before me. Have you got any updates since then?
