Finally! Congratulations! You are in Boston like me, right?

Thank you! I am in New Jersey and expected to have Newark as my local office because Newark office it is just one mile away from me. However, the appointment was scheduled at Elizabeth office.

No biometrics appointment yet.

Anyone on the same boat?

Yes, I received a response couple days after I submitted the request. That's what I got:

The status of this service request is:

Our records indicate that we are awaiting your appearance for biometric processing. Your case is currently in suspense or on hold until we receive your biometrics. Your application information has been entered into the system which schedules applicants for biometrics at their local Application Support Center (ASC). Once you have been scheduled, you will receive an ASC Appointment Notice containing the date, time, and location of your appointment. You must take the ASC Appointment Notice and photo ID to your appointment. You may request expeditious processing again once we have received your biometrics.

Thank you so much for sharing! I expect to get something similar soon. Did you make another expedite request immediately after biometrics? Or was the original request automatically activated after your fingerprints were taken?

You are welcome! I have not done my biometrics yet. I just received my appointment letter in mail yesterday. The appointment is in 3 weeks.

I am hoping sometime soon as well. I know another person who filed Dec 16 and they have had their biometrics scheduled. It's the same ASC.

Does anyone know how long after biometrics we should receive the EAD? (approximately)
