Biometrics for EAD renewal

[Oxy2608]

Hi there! Did all of you that applied for ead RENEWAL got biometrics taken all over again? I see a piece of mail coming towards me from uscis National benefits center. Wondering what is it. I had my interview in late July 2018 where they took my pic and fingerprints all over again. No decision on i485 so far. My i765 renewal status says That they received and processing my fingerprints ( I was assuming they used the ones they took during interview.... until today when I got an email from post office that smth is coming toward my way from uscis) So I?m going crazy here not knowing what is that letter about.

I do not want to get your hopes up BUT sometimes, approval letters do go out without any changes to your online status. Wait and see. There is good chance that it's just your I-765 renewal I-797. You will know soon enough!

Have you tried reaching out to your Senator regarding your I-485?

I have the same status where I applied for an EAD renewal and already got the receipt notices. But USPS tracking says there is another letter coming in today from the National benefits center. which I am wondering what it is since my online status for the I-765 renewal says they are processing my fingerprints So not sure if I need to go for biometrics again. Let's wait and see.

I did try to reach Senator but they said my case is within normal processing times

It could just be the letter that literally says "we were able to use your previously collected biometrics"
I got one of those when I renewed

Try a different senator and ask what is causing the delay. Make an Infopass appointment and inquire. Offer them more evidence of bona fide marriage, if you feel that your evidence was not concrete.

Up to you.

My i130 is approved already. We filed it first separately. I485 is whats taking forever. I opened a SR a little over a month ago. The status just got changed from they received it to it?s been assigned to an officer for processing. So I?m waiting

Yep. That?s what it is. I guess I got excited too early

We did our renewal before the previous fingerprints were a year. I?m not sure if it makes a difference, but I read somewhere online that that is what determines whether you have to do them again or not.

Our EAD renewal receipt was dated 10/9 and on 10/15 the stays changed to ?Fingerprint Review Was Completed.? We just got a letter today that says they will use the previous fingerprints and he doesn?t need to do new ones.
