Sweet Melissa

can't believe my NOA1 says 240 days..it's the longest term out of all people from july. i want so bad to go to my home country for christmas!

Ha, don't get upset, my notice says that my documents were transfered to National Benefits Center (originally sent to Texas) and I have to wait for 730 days!!!

Congratulations Sweet Melissa..!!!

Thanks

Please update my info - approved on 11/10/07. Thanks

Well...we got the appt letter today! The appt is Nov 1st at 9am. Anyone else get one?? Hope so!

Congrats!!!

I had my fingerprints done yesterday. I expected to see a lot of people and spend a couple hours waiting. We arrived at 11 am and were throught by 11:30. It seemed to be a lazy day at the office, at least for that part where you have your bios taken... I was kind of surprised...

I am not sure who I'd call. Does the national customer service even handle inquiries to biometrics appts? It seems it'd be a local thing.

Yako-if you read this, have you gotten an appt yet?

Had the same problem, you can read it here - http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...c=82318&hl=

I filed my forms in the end of June and got a bio day for October 10. I thought before they just forgot to schedule biometrics for me but reading you guys I think it's a Tampa problem- that office might be really very busy... especially after INS got an avalanche of papers in July...

No, we didn't call the senator, my husband thought it would be better to wait for 90 days first.

When I called the customer service in the end of august an operator sent an inquiry. I didn't expect it to work out but you never know... What I think INS just forgot to schedule biometrics for me and after receiving the inquiry they discovered and fixed it.

Could anybody update my info? At long last biometrics on 10/10/07.

Thanks!

Well, I found an envelope in my mail today, it was from INS:

Dear....

On 08/21/07 you... contacted us about your case. Some of the key information given to us was ... bla bla bla...

And then - the status of this service request is:

WAC........

No slots available at your local ASC. You will be rescheduled as soon as a slot becames availlable.

While I was trying to understand what this was I found out another envelope from them. And la-la-laaa - it was MY BIO LETTER, bio appt. on 10/10/07

What is funny I just called the castomer service 2 hours ago and as always they told me they don't know anything and I need to wait 90 days and then might get an infopass...

there you go

Thanks!

Could someone add me to the list, please? I tried to do it but all these nice columns got messed up

Sweet Melissa...TSC > CSC...06/28/07..........07/10/07........--/--/--........--/--/--

Hehehe, well, at least that person was being honest - she didn't know anything!

I have spoken to several people... seems to me nobody there knows anything...

I called them too about my biometrics letter. I was told they don't know anything and cannot answer my questions... but... if I have any questions I'm allways welcome to call them

At Senator Nelson's office, you can contact Mayra Sutton @ (407) 872-7161 or toll free at (888) 671-4091.

Thank you for the info, we will try to call them too...

...Then we called Senator Nelson's office...

Oops, I ment congressman Buchanan's office...

At Gus Bilirakis' local office, you can call Sonja Stefanadis (727) 773-2871 Ext 11.

Well, we called her today and were told we belong to another county, sorry .Then we called Senator Nelson's office...generally we were told they cannot do anything for us because INS can do whatever they want. The only option they can offer is to came there to fill some request form in and and they will send it to INS. And as they mentioned this actually will not help us or make any difference

At Gus Bilirakis' local office, you can call Sonja Stefanadis (727) 773-2871 Ext 11.

Thanks, I think I will go ahead and call her tomorrow

Give it another week or so. If you still don't hear anything, give US Rep Gus Bilirakis' or Senator Nelson's office a call. They'll help you.

Thanks, I will. Do you know if there is a special person to talk to?

Well, it has been more than 6 weeks since NOA was issued and 5 weeks since I got it and no bio letter for me yet

That friend of your also having the bios done at the Tampa office? Asking because we are dealing with Tampa and it took quite awhile for our bio appt to arrive. In fact, we filed almost two weeks before you did and just received the bio appointment letter yesterday for an August 30 appointment. If my theory is correct, your letter should be coming up within the next 10 days or so.

Nope, he lives on the east coast. Let's hope you you are right and I will get my bio letter soon.

Ven2lin, that's frustrating . And what did they tell you?

My friend got NOA1for I751 amost 20 days ago but she still get nothing for biomentrics letter...

I have the same problem. INS got my papers on June 28, NOA date is July 10 (transfered to California), I got it on July 23 and no biometrics letter yet. My friend (from Florida) filed papers a few days later and has his fingerprints done today. And I'm still waiting...
