[rdp0402]

Hi guys, so please help me on what to do.
I am USC married my wife who was a on student visa. Our file date is 5-29-20 and we sent everything to Chicago lock box and then got receipt for I-131 I-485 I-130 and I-765. As of today all the case say it was revived nothing has change even though I am outside normal processing time and I put in the request even it say I should hear back something by the 11-24-20 but so far it has not change anything on my case. I have also called them and they put in a request for biometric and still no response on that.

What are my next step? My lawyer keep telling me to wait at this point I am not even sure why I hired him. Please help thanks.

There are thousands of people who are still waiting for biometrics. There is a big backlog, just try to be calm and the bio will arrive soon, hopefully for all of us

Your lawyer is right. There is nothing to do right now except wait. As Rafael1993 said, there is a huge backlog. USCIS has budget problems, an anti-immigration administration, and COVID. We are all just sitting here waiting for something.

Unfortunately, you are NOT alone. I am married to a USC and we filed back in June 2020, and no biometrics at all either.

My timeline so far:

-01/27/20: Same sex couple, married to USC.

-06/30/20: Delivered by USPS and signed by Chicago lockbox T Thomas.
-07/25/20: Checks cashed.
-07/30/20: Text messages received with case confirmation numbers.
-07/31/20: Received NOA's in the mail.
-08/05/20: Received RFIE notification from USCIS for I-485, letter to follow via mail.
-08/10/20: Received RFIE in the mail asking for my partner's pay stubs for the last 6 months and letter of employment.
-09/18/20: Mailed out RFIE to Lee-Summit's office.
-09/21/20: USCIS confirms they've received RFIE.
-10/27/2020: Called USCIS regarding biometrics appointment not yet scheduled. USCIS send E-Request to Chicago FO.
-11/10/2020: Immigration officer reaches out to me via phone call to explain the reason I haven't received a biometrics appointment, appointment will come eventually, he doesn't know when.
-11/23/2020: Called USCIS and submitted another E-Request for biometrics appointment not yet scheduled.

USCIS is also waiving biometric appointments for applicants who have already received immigration benefits (mainly I-751/N400 applicants). That has probably helped significantly.
