December 2020 I-485 filers may join

[Johnatan96]

Hi, I filed in dec 2020 for f2a . My documents arrived on Dec 8th and I recently received a I 693 deficiency notice but nothing on Bio Metrics. Anybody else received this notice?.

You received that notice because you did not include the i693 (medical exam results). According to my lawyer, you can take that form to your interview if you did not include it in the original package you sent to USCIS.

Can anyone with a scheduled biometrics appointment tell me if this "reprint your letter" USCIS webpage works, please? I'm trying to understand if I can use this page to check if my appointment has been scheduled before I get the letter in the mail https://my.uscis.gov/en/appointment/v2/manage

I just checked. No appointment found for that name and date of birth.
When I was talking to Emma she also could not see any appointments.
The appointment is not reflected in my case status either.

Hi everyone, I received an update on my I-485 receipt number. It now reads, "Case is Ready to Be Scheduled for An Interview."
Does anyone have any idea of how quickly our case would be scheduled for an interview after this update? We were anticipating at least a year after filing date, but I wonder if this update is a sign it could move faster?

Also, there have been no updates on my I-765/I-131 (EAD/Combo Card), my attorney predicts 6-7 months after filing so hopefully June/July.


Timeline:
12/18/20: My package was received at Chicago lockbox
01/11/21: I received four NOA receipts in the mail (online case number indicates my fingerprint fee check was cashed on 12/29/20)
02/05/21: I received biometrics letter in the mail for my upcoming appointment, which is scheduled for the end of this month (letter came from the NBC)
02/18/21: Biometrics appointment (arrive 15 minutes before to line-up outside, there are about 10 appointments scheduled each hour, everyone lines up at same time for your appointment time slot and is allowed in 15 minutes prior to appointment time)
02/19/21: my I-485 and I-765 case statuses were updated online to "Case was updated to show fingerprints were taken"
04/09/21: My I-485 is updated to "Case is ready to be scheduled for an interview"

okay thanks . I found it a little weird getting this letter without any word on bio metrics

That's just a letter they send to let you know that something was missing, but you will still get your biometrics letter at some point.

I am surprised that you don't have your EAD yet.

hey brother or sister my timeline is similar to your except my biometrics were taken mid march. I got a deficiency letter for the medical (didnt include it in the packet) about 2 weeks ago, just says i need to bring it to the interview. But recently checking my case also says Ready to schedule for interview , now we wait . I didnt get EAD yet either

Hi; does your spouse agree to help you with you green card? My question is, what to do when it's time to apply from conditional to permanent after three years?

Thank you

According to what I have seen, you don't get a text and your case status does not change online. The letter just arrives in the mail so we have to wait. I'm in the same situation.

[siyanz2014]

I'm still waiting for biometrics as well. Hang in there, everyone. <3

Just got my biometrics letter by email after I placed an inquiry about my case with USCIS! It took 24 hours. Finally!
