Same here. My FedEx package was delivered on June 2 and signed by J Harper. No news yet. My guess is there may be several employees working at the lockbox and maybe one of them has still not processed the files. Let wait for another week and then get worried :)

Mom if you don’t mind me asking, what is the difference between both ? Is one more helpful than the other ?

Technically speaking, no difference. However, starting with the house of rep is often recommended (because they are a lot closer to the constituents they represent) as against going with a Senator. Of course, one could always go directly with the senator if your house of rep person appears to be anti-immigration.
 
Those of you who submitted the congressional inquiries, have you indicated the help with the federal agency ( USCIS) as your primary issue of concern or immigration per se? I've been seeing these two reasons listed separately for the online forms so do not know which one is more precise in our cases where biometrics scheduling being delayed :(

There's a summary of the background check process in the AOS Process Spreadsheet (see link to spreadsheet in the first post on Page 1 of this thread - once in the spreadsheet, look for the tab titled Background Check).

Background check timing will be different for everyone, I assume anywhere from weeks to months. Some checks can only be completed once they've taken your biometrics too. If the background checks reveal anything they want to investigate further, the process will obviously take longer. I believe they can check overseas records too.

Oh so they can actually start the background check process without the biometrics data.

They typically do not initiate the background check prior to the bio data collection. Again, take a look at the AOS process spreadsheet like you've been referred to.

Don't overthink it. Select help with the federal agency (USCIS) option.
 
How long it takes for a KCC file to be sent to a field office, do KCC use USPS mail to send this kind of files or simply , They are sent as a soft coy through the email to the field office?
 
Will it have any negative impact if we try calling USCIS or through chat with Emma to get a tir2 appointment multiple times? Any recommended frequency?:)

Considering USCIS tracks case follow-up calls, rule of thumb is to use your discretion in determining how often you want to call to hear more or less the same thing.
 
I started congressional inquiry. My NoA dates 18 May. I have not received biometric and interview appointments.
No news from senator's office yet. I read that uscis responses in 30 days to senator's inquiry. I stopped calling USCIS customer service tier 1 or tier 2.

I thought that living in rural areas or mid size cities would be beneficial as application process would be faster compared to big cities like NYC, Chicago,
LA etc. I was wrong.
 
For all those who waiting for bio letter here is what you guys can do:
I noticed that It takes at least a week to get the letter after NBC schedule the Bio or interview.
If you want to know ahead of time you can go to emma and ask for live chat and then ask them if they have your bio or interview scheduled.

I did the same and They told me it is schedule for 07/21/2021 at 3 PM.

Correct. From what I have read, background checks start within weeks of submitting the AOS package.
(e.g. service centers and the National Benefits Center (NBC) are required to run a TECS batch query on the primary names and DOBs on all new applications/petitions within 15 calendar days of initial receipt).
