Hey NEWBIERB,
They are gonna ask to see your appointment letter before they allow you to do your biometrics and then they have to stamp and sign it when you are done, so you have to wait until you receive the notice. After you have gotten the notice you can do a walk-in and have it done.

Best Wishes!

I got my RFE today and I don't understand what they want as they require evidence of something we didn't even submit.
if anyone can advise, here's what it says:
For the Household member's income to be included in the household income, the household member's income must have been from a lawful source and earned while the household member was authorized to work in the US.
what should I answer to them? we didn't submit anything about household member, cause the only household member of my husband is me. But we have a joint sponsor with all the income and tax returns that qualify... i'm so confused. should i get a lawyer for help or anyone had the same situation?
thank u guys

Does the joint sponsor live in your household? I would suggest you get a lawyer to look over the documents you had sent. I had the same issue and my I-130 was approved but I-485 and I-765 was denied in August due to issues with submitting documents for my joint sponsor that I had previously submitted and they said I had not. Now I am refiling and have to pay the filing fee again and also a lawyer. If I had taken the advice I had given to you I would probably have my greencard by now. The forum can do so much. If is only to go for a consultation for them to look at the forms trust me its worth it. My two cents

the joint sponsor doesn't live in our household. the RFE i got doesn't say a word about the joint sponsor, but only about household member of the petitioner. i did the whole research, and i guess the issue is in the Part 6, question 24 E on the I-864 Form, i checked it, but 24 B is empty, so i believe i shouldn't check the box 24 E, even though two of my friends did and they got approved....

You shouldnt have checked that if you are not using your spouse (the intending immigrant) as a joint sponsor. Hmmm I really dont know how you fix that one cause since it is your error.

we filled out the new I-864 form, and wrote a letter of explanation, why the household member's income is not included and that the joint sponsor's affidavit was submitted to meet the income requirements.
we hope it's correct.

My wife got RFE: they are requesting approval notice?????? We sent approval notice, we got I-171 family petition approval notice. we didn't get I-797 approval notice.
they sent us I-171 that it's approval notice as well. We resent I-171, we'll see what happen.

Any comments about I-171?

I am a little confused.

Just got a text/email regarding reviewal of response to RFE. My biometrics is tomorrow. I'm scheduled for 1pm, but due to trains and avoiding any problems, i'll arrive there at 10am. Any chance they'd take me in prior to the actual time in the notice?
 
djhash- You should be fine! good luck

Well.. I just arrived here about 20 mins ago. And they won't let me sit or give me a number. Was asked to return at 12:30. Just great. Will walk around a bit and find a cafe or someplace rather than waiting out in the cold. Will update again soon. Good luck to everyone else.

Hola, Should've updated yesterday. But got a little busy. So fingerprinting was done. Other than having to wait 2 hours or so before I can get in and get a number; As soon as I got in I was out in 20 minutes. I actually finished before the scheduled appointment time of 1pm. Then had lunch, and went back home.
