Just popping in to say hey to everyone!
Still no biometrics letter or USCIS Case Status update - at this point I'm assuming I won't get mine until much much later. 
Any WAC-ers have any updates?

WAC and no update. Was looking at a WAC early March filer @Shao that received biometrics appt at the end of April. Maybe we'll have a similar pattern.

Thanks for sharing! I might look into some other WAC #'s from prior months too and see what I can dig up.
Here's hoping there is a similar pattern and we'll hear back soon! I'm not worried, but I hate sitting around and waiting, without any idea of what's going on, it gets stressful.

Yes! We're traveling early August so really hoping we don't get the biometrics notice while abroad. 

 

Maybe we should start a tracking sheet, too.

Are you signed up for USPS informed delivery by any chance? They take scans of all the mail you're receiving and you get an email daily, with what's arriving and usually a picture of it. 
It might help to set that up and that way, if it does come during your trip, you know exactly when it's sitting in your mailbox and could potentially have family come by and let you know when the appointment is set?
I did this for when my husband and I went on our vacation right after sending off the petition, so I could have my brother in law come by and get the extension out of the mail for me and tell me if there was any other info on it, and it's been pretty useful in general for when I have packages on the way!

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you that your trip abroad goes uninterrupted!

Thanks for the reminder! I don't think I signed up for it after we moved. Will definitely sign up.

For all VSC/EAC filers (@LKMK, @wayno1515, @joonpa to name a few) I started a thread to track our timeline progress:

 

I just filled in my information.  Thanks for putting this together NYBEtt!!!

Completed Biometrics on Thursday in Baltimore, MD.  In and out in about 15 minutes.  Great experience.  So much faster than the last time in Austin, TX.  That place was out of control and so busy.

 

No update on the website yet even after biometrics have been completed :-(

Hey LINers,

 

Any activity? Looks like we’re on the slowest bus. 

 

I just saw this on uscis. Wasn’t it 15.5 months-25.5 months processing time just earlier this month? Or did I just totally imagine that. 

[LKMK 85]

Its interesting that the USCIS app and the old website shows an update after Biometrics, but the new website just shows case received after a week.

Guess we are a little luckier at the Vermont Service Center.

Nice! CSC is also showing 14-19 months. Here's hoping it'll stay that range!

Clicked all field offices out of curiosity and it says 23-49 months 😵 Didn't realise field offices processed them? And that it could even take that long? It said processing cases from June 2015. 2015! 

[chamma 382]

MSC Receipt.

NOA1 received on May 30th.

No Biometrics yet.

 

has anybody with a similar date had it?

The vast majority (if not all) of the cases that goes to NBC (MSC) will have interviews at local field offices. NBC doesn't process these cases, they just prepare them to be processed (and interviewed) at field offices.

 

So yes, field offices do process i-751, every case you see that gets an interview has been processed at a field office. And as usual all field offices have different processing times, some wait for months while others wait for years just to get an interview. This is how it is for all applications that goes through field offices, not just the i-751.

I mean I'm aware that they process them in terms of processing for interviews, and that it's the case for all applications - I think the wording just made it sound like processing in general, and not *just for the interviews*, and I had never looked at the "all field offices" option before.
