I just got mine too :)
It says on the letter that my NOA 1 date is May 27th 🎉

That's awesome!! I'm pretty sure I won't hear anything anytime soon (I'm gonna keep praying and lighting candles) I REALLY hope it goes quickly because my love language is physical touch and this is driving me absolutely insane.. We text every day, we call multiple times a day and we video call but this distance (almost 10k miles) from each other is insane... 😩 Fingers crossed 🤞 best of luck 🍀

Hello May filers. Has anyone received a request for biometrics? My application was received May 16 and as far as I know of I have not received a request for a biometrics appointment. I’m really concerned it may have came in the mail and I trashed it. So just curious if anyone else from May has had their appointment. Thanks

I do not believe we will receive anything other than an RFE or NOA2 at this point.

Ive read via i-129f groups on facebook and discord that more petitioners have been receiving request for biometrics this year. But nope i havent seen anyone get any for May yet.

Strange... Typically biometrics are required for petitioners who have criminal past related to Adam Walsh Act. Other petitioners typically are not required to do biometrics

Ok thank you. I’m new to all of this and so grateful I came across this May group because it can get very confusing trying to navigate alone.
