Did the status change or was the status updated when Biometrics Appointment letter was sent, it is more than 2 weeks since check is cashed and did not receive the Biometrics Appointment letter, NBC processing the case.

April 23rd: Documents received by USCIS
May 4: Notice date
May 11: 4 NOA's received in mail
May 18: Fingerprint appointment received (June 1) @Detroit office


Anyone heard of fingerprinting being done at another field office than the official field office (Cleveland),
is it done for my convenience as it is a 1hr vs 2hr drive? Or will my field office become Detroit?

Your field office is where you do your interview. The fingerprints are done at a different location. In my case, I live in Austin, tx and completed my fingerprints at the government office located about 20 min from my place. My field office is San Antonio which is about a 90 min drive for me- that's where my interview will be. Hope this helps.

I'm in the same position as you. Some people don't get every update. After my biometrics appt my case didn't update till i received my RFIE. I called USCIS and apparently they have 60 days from when the RFIE was received to update you. Not sure if I believe him or not. I'm just trying to wait it out and see if i get any sort of update. I've heard some people say an RFIE restarts your priority date and others who say it doesn't. At this point, there doesn't seem to be a clear trend. It would be nice if our status jumped to 'Case is ready to be scheduled for an interview'.

That's great news! Hopefully you don't have to wait too long till your interview is scheduled. What is your field office if you don't mind me asking?

yes, That is good news
I am at the Newark, NJ field office

[ItsCW28]

Not sure but I read somewhere that if you are issued a RFIE your case is put on hold and the day they receive your response to your RFIE becomes your new PRiority Date PD. That?s what I read somewhere but please call USCIS and verify.

I had my bio appointment on May 3rd and my case status has never been updated since then.
Why do some people seem to receive an email telling "We reviewed your biometrics and are still processing your case" and some don't ?

My case status is stuck to "Case was received" (I130 and I765) or "Fingerprint fee was received" (I485)

Marriage based AOS - I-130, I-485, I-765, I-864, now 48 days in the process.

Wow that's pretty fast, congrats.

Are you employment or marriage based AOS? Or are you marriage based and they've said ready for employment based interview on your notice?

Just curious at the speed, also what's your field office?

Don't forget that all cases sit at the National Benefits Center until the interview has been scheduled. The field office does not play a role before that point. This case got to this point in 33 days. I know of one in Minnesota that got to this point in 29 days. Filed in October 2017 and is still waiting for the interview. So once you get the interview-ready stamp, then sure, those in Cleveland, OH., get scheduled right away and those in Houston, TX or Minneapolis, MN., wait for 14.5 months to 23.5 months. Houston's upper limit might be 32 months which is out of control.

Thanks for letting us know where you?re filing from. Keep us posted! Your priority date is close to mine. My field office is San Antonio. I know my RFIE has slowed down my progress significantly but hopefully thing will get back on track. Good luck to you!

My priority date is 1/10/ 2016, since the I-130 was submitted in that year. Thank you! And Best of luck to you and everyone else!
