Congrats! How long from biometrics until you got new status that the new card is being produced? Did you request for expedite? I just had my biometrics last 12/11. I was wondering if I should request to expedite. I did request for expedite prior to biometrics. As expected, it was rejected.

Hey. Sorry was offline for past few days. I got my biometrics done on 12/10 and fingerprints were applied the same day. Then the approvals came is different stages from post decision activity, approval, new card produced to card mailed (with tracking details) from 12/21 to 12/28. Now waiting for action on I-485 post fingerprints applied status.

I did not request any expedited.

Let me know if this helps !

Got bio appointment dated 12/12, for 1/8. Bio appointment letter went to my attorney's office only, is this normal??

Congrats! I received an Applicant copy and my attorney received one too...perhaps it's delayed by USPS

Thanks. By the way, a discouraging story regarding Emma Live Chat: yesterday (12/29) I tried Emma Live Chat for the first time and got connected to what I assume is a Tier 1 officer. They said I had no bio appt scheduled in the system and I had to wait for 30 days to pass over my service request for them to be able to do anything. 1 hour later on the same day I get the e-mail from the attorney with the scanned bio appt letter, with a notice date of 12/12. So my bio appt had been scheduled since 12/12 at least, but the Tier 1 agent still told me I had no bio appt scheduled!

Same thing happened to me but with an agent on the phone and 3 days later an Emma Live Chat agent told me I had one scheduled, that all happened just before Christmas and mine was scheduled on the same date as yours (12/12)...so go figure ????♀️

Also I remember someone on Reddit writing that you could go to this website https://my.uscis.gov/en/appointment/v2/manage and see if you had a bio appointment scheduled in the system. I have one and nothing shows up there for me!

[sandeep.iiit]

That is sweet! I just tried and nothing shows up for me.

Pretty sure that link is only for infopass appointments.

Makes sense, **** news coming from Reddit then. Anyway, Tier 1 agents also have bad info as my case shows. I did get the bio appt on the mail at home today.

Finally got my biometrics appointment today...after waiting for 5 months.

I was so stressed seeing most July filers and some August filers got theirs. I tried submitting an e-request, talking to Emma, just no news at all.

This is the best gift for the New Year.

My location is Tustin, CA. Seems like things are going extremely slow here. If you're from here too, don't worry too much, you'll get yours soon!

PD 7/29. The letter was dated 12/22. Appointment scheduled on 1/22.

Congrats! This is almost exactly the same timeline as me. I'm also a July filer and my biometrics is also scheduled for 1/22. So, it seems things are moving.

Does anyone know typically how long it takes after biometrics to schedule interview and/or get approval?

Are you transferring from another visa? Just trying to know how the applications are moving..

I was on F1 visa. Then I got married to a USC and applied for the green card. Not sure if this is a transfer or not...
