pvkby said:Hi guys,
what are the processing dates for your DOs...I am looking at mine and it is November of 2005..is that how long it is really going to take or those dates are some sort of rough estimate and if things go smooth one can get his (her) case approved earlier???

catus&stone said:I have no idea whether you can go to have FP a week early or not. But I had an experience that when I was in the FP office, I saw a lady appointment letter time was 2pm(at that time, it was 10:15am). She still could get her FP done.
pvkby said:...the processing dates that are posted for each DO truly reflect the reality...By the way do they send a letter with a date and time for an interview already scheduled for you or do you need to call and schedule it yourself?? Another question, I just thought of is even though there is a block for SSN on the FP/Bio NOA, mine is blank...is that normal??
sarrebal said:Actually, they just updated NY DO processing times.
It's now July 1, 2005. It was Jan 1 last month.
They're getting rid of their once huge backlog.
It's nice to see that our tax money is well spent sometimes.
pvkby said:Do you have your SSN on the FP/Bio NOA??? I do have a SSN, but on that form it was left blanc, another thing that I cannot fully understand is that even though it looks like the FP/Bio NOA is for both I-485 and I-765 (as both receipt notice numbers are on there) it only says Code 3. Does Code 3 can be sufficient for both??? Thanks!
sarrebal said:I don't have my FP notice with me right now, but I don't recall it.
And honestly, I would pretty upset if they put my SSN on the same piece of paper (sent by regular mail) with my full name and address.
I do recall reading that the appointment is for both I-485 and I-765 and both receipts numbers were on the notice.
Code 3 is basically Code 1 (FP) + Code 2 (Biometrics), so it is definitely sufficient. Don't worry.

Addie_Goodvibes said:You know you can try to get your Fp done early! it might expidite your Interview notice being sent out. If I were You I would try to go to the ASC early befor eit opens take your ASC Appointment notice and your ID and try to get your Biometrics done early.
We did with our 2nd FP notice they didn't even question us being a week early.
sarrebal said:I wouldn't risk either.
I would stick with the schedule as much as I could. If everybody goes whenever they want, it would be a big mess. We get frustrated when something doesn't go smoothly, we should respect also USCIS timelines, which are not bad at all nowadays.
Addie_Goodvibes said:RISK? I can see the risk of inconvenience in driving far only to be turned away, but if you live close to an ASC and can get in early I do not see anyproblem with taking care of the ASC/ FP appt. earlier than scheduled. If there was a problem or issue with it then the USCIS / Application Support Centers would turn you away and make you come in on your appt time.The possibly Busiest ASC here in Southern Ca. ( the biggest Immigrant population in America) lets people come in early and didn't even question it.
So It depends on your case and if you live close enough to go in early, for those who are only a short drive ( 30 minutes away and have the flexibility in their schedule to go in early I would NOT discourage it it makes sense to get things taken care of early especially if the time line of ones case in tight to future plans of travel ect..
pvkby said:Would have to agree with sarrebal's point. Schedule is schedule and as long as it is within the reasonalbe timeframe, one should stick to it. However, I am speaking from a perspective of a person who is currently 6 hours away from my ASC, so I am going next week, hoping to get in before the scheduled time
