A LUD a day......

did you read about "WHAT REALLY happens at Biometrics? you can't be too safe, you don't want to end up in Delaware, with amnesthia :p

Yes you will be ok, it is a very easy process but for those who have not been, it is nice although not required to have a friend / spouse there.
 
Updates anyone?

Has any one else received Interview notice, how about you serrabal, workhomes?

Remember to keep this thread updates, I had my FP's done about 5 days after Cateach so by that timeline I should receive an interview notice in the next week or so. I have not had any LUD's since July 4

Nope.
I have FP appointment today so I didn't expect it.
My LUD is July 3 for I-485 and July 5 for I-130&I-765.

No I have not received it either. My FP appointment is tomorrow, so I am not really expecting it for at least another couple of weeks after FPs done. I think interview appointments even though sent by NBC are scheduled in cooperation with a local DO, so I can see how there can be somewhat of a difference, plus it is also possible it is dependent on FP. I guess once you start getting LUDs after FPs have been done, interview notice (hopefully not RFE) is somewhere on the way...
 
No news!!!. My LUD are still on the 07.06.06.

Quick question: Just wondering I-131 how long can I stay in overseas? (I didn't apply I-131).
 
I think we're getting spoiled here.
Not so long ago we would expect a 2-3 year wait (at least in NYC) and now we're wondering why we haven't received the interview notice few days after the FP? :D :D

HAHA...yeah true. we are getting pissed when we do not hear about FP or interview for just a couple of days....and all of the sudden everyone starts freaking out about it...All I personally care for right now is getting my AP asap, the rest of the stuff I can wait...
 
I just spoke to a colleague of mine.
Same situation as mine. He filed 2/3 weeks before me.
His FP appt was on 7/6. Got LUD on I-485 on 7/10. No interview notice yet.

I'm off to lunch & FP appt.
 
Waiting for interview notice

Hi all,

It looks like I have a pretty similar timeline to a lot of people on this thread. I went for my code 3 bio/fp at the El Monte ASC in So. Cal. today. Now I'm waiting for my interview notice.

I assume that the I-485 can't actually be approved until after the interview? I'm currently in H1-B and planning to travel abroad Aug 5 - 13 and return on my H1-B. I understand as soon as the I-485 is approved, I immediately lose my H1-B status and need AP to return. It would be very annoying to lose my H1-B while I'm out of the country and need to wait for the AP before I can get back in.

First of all, don't worry about it. Today it's Jul 25 (I had my FP as well today) and there's NO WAY you could get an interview before Aug 13. September at least, I would say.
So you could freely travel on your H1-B. Also, if your I-485 is approved, you could ask for a I-551 stamp which is really the equivalent of a 1-year GC.
So, no worries. ;)

PS: We got married on the very same day!
 
My FP appointment

Well,
I had my FP appointment scheduled at 3pm today.
It was in Downtown Manhattan, on Varick & Houston.
I live in SoHo and work in Tribeca so the location was perfect (10 min walking from both ways).
Left the office at 2:20pm, grabbed some lunch and went to the ASC.
I was there at 2:45pm.
Line was ok....not more than 10 people before me. They ask you a notice, which they don't check and a picture ID, ideally a driver's license.
Arrived upstairs, at the 10th floor. They asked me again for my notice and ID, gave me a form to fill with my personal information (kinda like a simplier G-325A). I gave it back to them and they told me to go to another line. There was really no line. Officer asked me the notice, she stamped it, checked my driver's license and put the whole thing in a basket with a number.
The officer that would take my FP was already there. He grabbed the notice+ID and took me to a modern-looking scanner.
First he took 4-finger prints for both hands (no thumbs), then right thumb, then he made me sign and took a digital picture of me.
Then he asked me to get up and took the 10 fingerprints, one for each finger obviously. The machine tells you when it's accepted....very efficient.
When I was done (like 45 seconds later), the clerk called his supervisor (a nerdy-looking guy in his 40s), who checked the whole thing on the screen. He gave the ok and wrote his USCIS employee number on the FP receipt. He told me to keep it as a receipt.
At the end the clerk who took my FP asked me to fill an anonymous questionnaire as a feedback. I was pretty happy with it. They're really polite and efficient.
That was it.
I would say less than 10 minutes.

Now, god forbids I get a RFE, I'm gonna be waiting for my interview notice. I already have two trip planned, hopefully it won't be the three days before Labor's Day and the two days after T-Giving.

Great, thanks. I saw a post form cateach who's ND is a few days ahead of mine and has an interview date of Aug 30, so I think you're right that there's no way I'll get anything before September.

When I first stared this, I was expecting processing times of 6 - 24 months; I can't believe I'm worried it's going to be too quick...

Sounds like your experience was almost identical to mine, except I had a 30 minute wait before they looked at my bio form, and then another 30 before they digitally captured prints, signature and photos. I arrived at 9am for a 10am appointment and was out by 10:20am.

The only hiccup was that I put "UK" for place of birth and the fingerprint technician entered this as Ukraine (since it has two letter code UK in their system.) The supervisor caught this (I used my British passport for ID) and changed it to EN for England.

LOL....imagine someone from Scotland or, even worse, Northern Ireland..... They have to go through some serious stuff... (unless they have Scotland or N.Ireland loaded in the country list) :D

It probably means that your wife's FP results came back from FBI. They will probably issue an interview notice within a week or two.
