It's quiet okay to have these emotions. This is the place to let it out. If anyone understands, its all of us on here. So you go ahead and rant as much as you need.

Yes. The ASC that I went to yesterday was Chicago-South. Yep. I was there from 11am-12nn. Saw some people and families successfully getting in bearing USCIS appointments the day of. A couple of other people including me tried to do a walk-in but couldn’t even get past the lady at the door checking your appointment and ID. They are very strict about not letting people in 15 minutes before their appointment time. I did ask her if they are the ones doing the rescheduling and she said no rescheduling is done at the ASC as it is all central.

Some teir 1 are actually pretty decent. I know we bash them alot, but they also are probably doing the best job they can. we called one yesterday who was literally rude and reading off a scripted response. we called again about an hour later and we got a lady from the south, super nice. she offered to put in a service request as to when we can get rescheduled for biometrics. she also offered up information that we can call a tier 2 and have them see what they can find out. I KNOOOOOW all this information is the same old run around, but there are some who want to help and you can tell.

Okay! so some promising news, but talk it was a grain of salt. I just got done online chatting with a representative (I've been doing it daily like @Ihatebaseboards). The response I got from him was, drum roooolll, "your case is in queue to be scheduled", I went on to confirm "so on your end they are preparing to reschedule me?", agent: "correct"....again at the end of the chat I tried to reenforce one last time, "as far as what shows up on your end, i am in line to get a scheduled appointment soon. his response: yes, you are. they will process it shortly.
 
I know this might seem minuscule but this is more information then I have received since March closures, so I'll take it.  He also said its talking between 15-30 days to reschedule these appointment...so I hope all he said is true, but I am taking it as a simple victory for today and hoping for the best. I'll try again tomorrow and see what answers i get. Hopefully is will be consistent with todays.

Anything new from anyone in terms of getting biometrics? It seems like no movement. The conversation on here has just become speculation. Anyone have something meaty?

Did you guys here about this....the Senate just found out the whole USCIS budget crisis is a lie. Apparently USCIS will be in excess of funds by the end of the year. They have enough money to function till 2021. 🤔 election year, this has Trump and his cronies all over it. They probably trying to slow down everything, not only naturalizations. So frustrating. FYI, they are apparently still going through with the furloughs on the Aug 3.
 
@JoeIngles good luck! Try to see how much information you can get us in those 10 min they are doing your biometrics. I think we would all appreciate it.

I am contacting USCIS everyday since Monday. Today also I contacted USCIS and asked when I will receive my biometric letter. Guess what I learned - My EAD and AP is approved without biometrics on 22 July 2020. It will take up to 60 days to receive it and they will contact me if they need my biometrics. 
 
To note:  There is no status update to my EAD and AP in my uscis nor egov sites. 

Anything new from anyone in terms of getting biometrics? It seems like no movement. The conversation on here has just become speculation. Anyone have something meaty?

Got this mail today 🎉. EAD card in hand. 
On Monday card was mailed to me, on Wednesday it was in my mailbox.

This really gets me going. I spoke to someone today too to see if my local office was doing AOS biometrics and I got a similar answer. They are open, but what they are doing inside beats me. AOSers get the back seat once again. Why do CA and UK visas get priority?...we are inside the country!!! 😡

I want to know the same thing. My ASC opens on the 27th. Looks like they are doing it after they're back open. Because based on @ElsaV, looks like Seattle opened the 20th (it's not on the list anymore at USCIS.gov). But I'm hoping this theory is wrong. Still waiting for mail, no word yet.

🤞 i really really hope your right. I need to stop checking VJ and case tracker...its become and obsession this week. Have a good restful weekend. Back to the battlegrounds on Monday.

Doesn't seem like anyone on here got approved today, since you were yesterday. You guys are a rare commodity on here, which makes the info even more scarce 😁 

I wish I'd have known. I applied for it with the AOS. Is it too late to do it at this stage or can you get it taken care of still?

Congrats! Our timelines looks oddly similar, and looking through @ourwildjourney timeline we are exactly the same...
 
I-765 received: 2/21
Original Biometrics: 3/24
 
Do you think calling them helped push it along. Did the text come after you told USCIS what your issue was on the phone or was it before on hold while you were waiting to talk to someone. Maybe calling them and giving them a little push is the way to go.

I just checked the USCIS website and we got approved for our EAD no biometrics taken!
 
This might be some good news for people who just missed the deadline. Hopefully you guys get some good news this week also. @TandClaudia @Ihatebaseboards
