Time between L-2 / I-539 biometrics and approval

[KSC90]

Howdy

I filed my I-129 to renew my L1 visa and concurrently filed my partner's I-539 and I-765 and all were received in Texas on 09/16.

My partner's biometrics appointment just came through for later this month at an ASC in New York City. Do any other people have experiences on how long it takes between the biometrics appointment and approval for the L2 and EAD afterwards? I can't find any accurate information or timelines elsewhere.

After biometrics your I539 should be approved within 30 days. However you can expect 2 to 6 months of waiting for EAD renewal after biometrics.

Don't they work on I-765 and I-539 concurrently?

Now a days .. no.

That's awful. So they sat on their hands in the 6 months it takes to get to biometrics.

They aren't willing doing it, its just the L2 visa are least priority item for them & USCIS is fully busy with various other important applications.

Hi KSC90,
How long did it finally take to get the L2 approval after the biometrics apppointment ?
I am in the same situation and need an approximate processing time.
Thanks for your help!

Still waiting, I'm afraid.

I-539 approval is not really linked to biometrics. Texas SC are currently processing cases submitted in June 2020. Maybe the updated deference guidance will speed things up, but knowing USCIS I'm not holding my breath..

I'm so desperate that I'm checking my case status multiple times a day

[amarquie]

Interesting... thank you for letting me know !!

KSC90 Any update on your case?

One of my colleague received RFE for her dependents case. I heard about dependents getting RFE first time. Has anyone else experienced that?

Apologies, totally missed this Libra_14 . Still waiting, and judging by a group of other TSC filers from Summer/Autumn last year, they're only approving May/June applications right now. Your biometrics date has no impact on decision times, they still go by the Received Date - so it's likely my September petition won't be adjudicated until August at the earliest. It's a farce.

Hi, does anyone has any update on their case ?
