December 2020 I-485 filers may join

[Johnatan96]

I seriously don't know what's going on with these biometrics delays. It's been more than 3 months now for me in Boston. USCIS keeps telling me to wait and that I'm in line to be scheduled. In the meantime, half of the fiscal year is gone....

Congrats, Which City/ASC are you from??

And generally, only applications that can be filled online have documents visible in my USCIS it seems.

east coast , i mailed a n400 for a friend that it wasnt filed online and still had access

UPDATE FROM EMMA:

No biometric appt has been scheduled yet but you are in line for an appt. Please continue to check the case status online with your I485 receipt number as it will update once the appt is scheduled. Unfortunately there is no current estimated time frame on when the appt will be scheduled. ????

So frustrating. I know of cases in the Boston area (where I am located) that are moving forward much faster than others and I don't understand why. I've been waiting 3 months now for a biometric appointment.

The wait is really frustrating. How I wish it could at least move faster than this. Always checking my case status multiple times a day.

Early December (will update with exact date when I find tracking)- Sent packet
December 23- Credit Card charged full fee
Jan 5th,2021- Received text messages with receipt/case number
Jan 9,2021- received the paper receipts for application in mail
FEB 25,2021- received bio metrics letter in mail
bio metrics scheduled for march##

no update online regarding biometric appointment, strangely ive filed n400 for others and USCIS typically scan every document that is sent to you and you can access it online before you even get mailed

case is family based AOS, for the guy who changed address its pretty much guaranteed that will slow the process down.

wondering when ill get my work authorization, its been really tough financially for us

We got the receipt of the case back on 12/7/20
No Biometrics yet..... is this normal? Has any of the Dec. 2020 filers received the Biometrics yet ?

Same here. I even talked to a tier 2 USCIS agent and he told me that he can't schedule an appointment until a slot becomes available. We just have to wait. I know a couple of people who filed in December and got their biometrics appointment letter earlier this week.

Any updates from anyone? This wait is frustrating...

hey guys been checking regularly, nothing online. Miraculously got a letter from USCIS in the mail which made me nervous. Luckily it was the biometrics. Scheduled in about 20 days. I am excited the process is moving along but as everyone feeling impatient. Been applying to jobs lately not really hearing back just gotta keep trying

Congrats! Wonder if you a see biometrics update online as well since that will be less stressful. Also I asked my immigration lawyer they say biometrics doesn't have effects on how EAD card is processed in case anyone here is wondering about that as well.

Good! I don't think the status changes online when biometric is scheduled. You should see a change after the appointment. When did you send your AOS package? I'm curious to know about your timeline.

Awesome! Congratulations!

Is your i485 employment based or family based?

Can you put down your timeline? It just got interesting now that you have your appointment!
