So just a quick follow up @Lara1
I managed to speak with representative today. She told me that she doesn't see any biometrics scheduled for my case and the our FO in Newark is not part of the Phase 1 reopening which has started this week for Hackensack (not quite sure what she meant by that). She wasn't quite informative to be quite honest, but that's what I got from her.
 
Hi everyone.
i just spoke with USCIS customer service.
I asked a service request for my case to let FO know its a time sensetive case.
She told me, send a written mail to ur FO.
Do u guys think it can work?

Maybe she means that FO in Newark and our ASC had a separate reopening plans (dates), idk. I will call tomorrow and ask to speak with tier 2, hopefully we'll get a clear answer then.

My recommendation is call again and kindly ask to talk to a tier 2 rep, i called this morning and they put me on hold for a while and then took my phone number and let me know that an officer will call me back later from a specific phone number. Try again and good luck!!

Thanks for your advise @DV2020
 
After a couple of calls to USCIS, I managed to process a service request for my case, the officer who attended me told me that she sent an email to my field office and they should contact me by July 27.
Hey!
I called USCIS today and talked to tier 2 representative but she refused to put a service request for me because my case is not outside normal processing time frame. Did this happen to you before convincing a tier 2 officer to put a service request for you?

Writing a letter to my local FO is what I'm considering as well as contacting USCIS to make them put a service request for me. I think it doesn't hurt if not helpful.

Hey AOSnewbie,

I don’t see your timeline in the spreadsheet. When did you file your case with USCIS and when was the last time you received any news from them?

I will update my timeline as soon as I get a new update. I have filed in late March. Nothing up until this point!
 
Dear @Sm1smom,
Does calling USCIS every day hurt our application?
I guess it's all at the discretion of tier-2 representative to make a service request for my case. So can I call USCIS until I make them put a service request for me?
 
Do you have at least the NOA saying that USCIS received your case? What’s the latest status on egov or My USCIS?
Yes, It has been a long time that I have received NOA letter (mid-April). My case status still shows "Fingerprint fee was received".

OK just my two cents. You contacted your congressman’s office about three weeks ago. Most of ASCs were closed at that time. They told you they will follow-up with your case but there wasn’t that many things they could have done until your ASC reopened. Your next step is your biometrics appointment and you haven’t received your IL yet, so in that sense you don’t have the extra rush that other users in this forum have had. I’m aware there’s not that much time before the deadline in September, but try to be more patient. You’re using all the resources to escalate your case at the same time and you may need them later.

Hi! My case was received on May 28th and accepted by USCIS on June 4th. Haven’t heard anything from NBC for my BIO appointment. I have tried to call USCIS but they don’t give me any information. I m very worried about my case and my location is NYC. Any suggestion how to process in this case?!
