Sorry to hear of the delay but the biometrics is definitely a sign of progress. Good luck

Hello Pascal07,

I'm sure you remember me from my other post. We received our biometrix appointment pretty much the same time as you did. We couldn't make it as wife was having baby that day. We went about about 10 days and got the biometrix done and today 09/24th we received a letter stating that they have received our biometrix on Sept 5th and case is pending. Do keep me posted with what happens with your case.

- Sean

No - you don't need NOA1 (confirmation that case was received and extension letter) for biometrics, as far as I know. You just need NOA2 (biometrics appointment letter).

Since I never received NOA1 I have an I-551 stamp in my passport that lets me work and travel until July of next year (by which time I should receive my 10-year card).

Don't you need the NOA for the bio appointment? It's usually the first thing they ask for.

Ok everyone here we go...

No NOA for months. Went to InfoPass and extended her greencard for few more months.... Waited waited and waited for any letter from CSC (biometrix) nothing.... We buy a house and move on 8/1/07. Ofcourse CSC sends us notice of biometrix on 8/6/07 which we received on 8/27/07. Freaked out!!!! Called CSC and changed the address (should have done before but who knew). Address got changed. Lady was nice enough and told us that everything is good and I'm sending request to re-schedule you. Did I mention that my wife was due the same date as biometrix appointment?... (had a baby boy).

So we were waiting for re-scheduled appointment and happend to call CSC again to confirm our address change. Customer service rep said that we could simply show up with an appointment letter at the biometrix center on Wednesday and they will take you without any problem. Got very excited as it was Tuesday. Then she transferred me to Immigration Officer who said the opposite. They used to do it like that if u missed an appointment but not anymore... ofcouse...

Took a chance and went there on wednesday anyway. They took us in without any problem. So the end result, my wife had her biometrix taken on 9/5/07.

Any comments? What are we going to do with the re-schedule appointment that they will send us? We are so confused!!! Help!!!!

- Sean

I got our congresswoman to make an inquiry and her office let me know today that CSC told them they'll put in a request for Biometrics as well. This is so rediculous...

Just thought I should call CSC Customer service to see what the hell was going on with my case. I never received anything and my case was filed on March 30th. Well.... officer told us that we should have gotten our Biometrix appointment by now and our case will never move forward if we don't go though this process and eventually our case will expire and we'll have to apply again. Shocking... huh?.... She was nice enough to go ahead and send a request so we would receive biometrix appointment. We got the confirmation number of this request and she said we should be hearing something within 30 days otherwise call back with this confirmation number. Lets see what happens.

Glad to hear that you got something. Nothing on my side yet. We recently moved as well so I'm sure that won't help at all.

- Sean

Hey Sean,

we finally got the biometrics appt letter on Thursday. jesus, h, it's been how many days/weeks/months??? The appt is on aug 25 so I guess we'll see how it goes then...Surely, your's must be coming soon!

We've been waiting for months and no NOAs at all. Its very strange for us. You got nothing to worry about though.

- Sean

Here's hoping my case that was touched last July 10 is hung up cause the person is on vacation, yeah...right, it's summer, people go on vacations.

Nothing at all as of yet. Don't know what to say or do.

- Sean

Hi all,

I'm just checking in to say that we have still received nothing from csc. I can't even count how many days that is, but it is closing in on 4mos since recieving our stuff. Meanwhile, my husband can't get a CDL because the GC has expired (he tried before it expired but it was less than 60 days from expiry) and our car insurance was asking about why he doesn't have his CDL yet...yeah, get in line DMV, we want the damn thing too. haha

I cannot fathom what is taking so long. Tim has called and they just gave him some receipt number and said he has to wait..then they quoted that they are processing some from ages before our's...still far too much time for my comfort level. They told him to hang on to his case no because that's all he has to claim that he is legal. Doesn't sound right to me, but what are you going to do...I don't know what we would do if his employer wanted proof of extension! yikes!

any word on your end, sean? paschal?other csc'ers?

How do I find congresman in my area?

- Sean

Congressman should help you...

my wife and I wend to our Rep here in IN and his staff was very helpful... they can call and someone will answer them...

This is just too sad man. We are simply stuck. Congressman should be able to do something no?

- Sean

Still nothing. I've done everything I could think of -- call national service center, get a lawyer involved, write congressman. Nothing. I'm at my wit's end... I know it has to do with the CSC delay notification that was posted last week, but that doesn't help...

Anyone who filed in late march received anything from CSC yet? We have yet to receive a thing.

Nothing man.... Just waiting still....

Hi sean and averi - do you guys have any updates? Have you received any news on your cases or managed to make some progress?

Hi guys,

I just wanted to say that we are also STILL waiting. We filed with CSC at the end of March. I seriously thought this was going to be a quick process so I'm with you with the complete confusion over this. My husband called the number for updates before our trip (3 weeks ago) and they didn't really tell him much except to wait for our NOA etc. I think he's going to call again. GC expires in less than 2 weeks. So annoying!

Please keep me posted with your updates. Thanks!

Pascal07,

I'm glad that things are now moving forward for your guys. What number did you dial to call CSC? Was the wait long? Maybe I should call too. Please provide me with the phone number and any tips.

Regards

I called the national service center again (because I just can't get over the fact that it's been 70 days and still no NOA...) and it turns out not getting the NOA is only part of the problem. My case is in the system, but they spelled my name wrong! My name was spelled correctly on the appllication, they just entered it wrong. Weird thing is that this isn't the first time this happened - my name was spelled wrongly (a different wrong spelling) on my original green card as well and I had to have it replaced back then!

They now sent a note to CSC to ask them to correct my name and send me an NOA. For what should be a simple process, this I-751 process is turning into quite a mess. Nothing surprises me about USCIS any more...

Even though I'm a newbie here I just want to say thanks for all the posts -- it's a real comfort to hear from others who are going through the same thing...

After much pleading I got a 3-month I-551 stamp this morning (it wasn't easy though...). They said that the case is in the system but that the receipt hasn't been mailed yet. They sent an email requesting that receipt be mailed. So now I'm back to waiting I guess...

I'm still curious to know if we're the only ones having this issue - anyone else having trouble with I-751's at CSC?

I've been crying about this for a while. I filled on March 30th. Check cashed on April 6th. No word yet. Please read following post. And please there is nothing to worry about.

I was told we suppose to get a receipt from USCIS as soon as they received it, usually you will get sth like that after 2 or 3 days after filed. We mailed out our package on May 29th, till today we havent got anything yet.

I was wondering if that receipt supposed to be received by everyone who filed as long as USCIS received ur package or only the ones send in package with certified mail?

By the way, anyone else filed with CSC recently? does anyone know how's CSC's processing progress? I know that they were pretty fast back to Feb and March.

thanks

Pascal07,

I hope you get this message before your appointment tomorrow. I happend to get a date for InfoPass appointment. Went there with my wife. We applied on March, 30th and had never heard from them. We were told that every thing is ok and our case was pending. Officer also said that looks like we most probebly won't have an interview as some code in the computer indicates that. He stamped her passport for another 6 months and told us that everything is fine and wait for fingerprints and background check appointments.

Make sure to take your passport with you tomorrow and good luck.

- Sean

Pascal07,

Where did you make InfoPass appointment? I will make mine after I get feedback from you. Please do post what happend there.

- Sean

Hi Sean - I made my appointment at the San Jose office. I will post what happened when I get back tomorrow...

Pascal07,

Still no activity.

Can someone tell us whats going on with CSC? What are the current processing dates? Seems like its a long wait now...

- Sean

O man.... i feel its gonna be a while.

- Sean

I'm having the same problem. I-751 delivered to CSC on April 4th, check cashed April 6th. Stil no NOA. I got the receipt # off the check, and when I call they tell me they have it in the system but they don't know when the NOA will be mailed -- or even if it has been mailed. Very frustrating...

I'm with you man -- the dissappointment of my daily stop by the mailbox when I get home from work is really getting to me... I called the 1-800 number and filed a referral to check on it, but apparrently that takes 40 days as well. This is craziness, I just want to be done with it...

My wife cards expires on June 16th. We already received a notice from DMV to show a proof that her GC has been renewed otherwise her driver license will be cancelled. Is there any other way to get an extension on her license since we have applied for I-751 and waiting....?

- Sean

What has me concerned is Lai's card expires tomorrow....

Ok people whats going on with CSC. its been over 40 days and no NOA or anything. Can anyone shed any light on CSC?

- Sean

Thank you averi. I do feel better now. I was thinking the same thing that my mail might have gotten lost but now I don't think so. Was your check cashed?

- Sean

Hi Sean,

Any news? We also filed our I-751 with CSC on March 31 (received apr 2) and have received nada. I think it's been about 33 days since they've received it so I am with you, wondering where the he!! is going on. I'm wondering if maybe we did get a notice and it went to the recycle bin with the zillion safeway/longs flyers. lol. We are going to the uk in 2 weeks (for 3 weeks) so this could get ugly if we do finally get a biometrics appt during that time...sigh...Just wanted to tell you you are not alone in the waiting game keep me posted if you hear anything!

Raj,

Check my sigature. Check has been cashed but no response at all yet. Its been about 5 weeks. Please do keep me updated.

Has CSC slowed down everyone? or is it just us two?

- Sean

Here's some reassurance --- we mailed our packet to CSC on April 16th and the check was just encashed on May 2. If our timelines are similar, you should see your check cashed in the next week or so. Good luck!

Is there any number we can call for CSC to make sure that everything is ok with our file? I know they have received it since check has been cashed.

- Sean

Ok seems like everyone has received NOA1 within a month EXCEPT ME. Are you sure this is normal?
