DV 2021 AOS Only

Hi Mom,

Sorry to bother you again. I received my acceptance text on June 17th and Bio/Interview hasn't been scheduled for me yet. A lot of people on this forum including one applicant who filed after me under the same FO/ASC got their bio's now. Do you think I should start a congressional inquiry at this point?
Not mom, but for the starter, have you tried talking to a tier 2 yet?
 
Then he asked if I'm being paid and have any income? I explained that I'm a PhD student and have TA (the documents were already in my AOS package and he admitted being aware of them; just wanted to have a cool conversation)
Hmm, he was actually fishing, not just making cool conversation. He was trying to find out if you've engaged in unauthorized employment - he's a pro (knows how to ask the right questions without seeming to do so :))

Congratulations coming this far and hope you get to clear the b/c soon.

Have you tried chatting EMMA first? Yeah, you can initiate the congressional inquiry now if you like.

Yes. Today EMMA said that Bio hasn't been scheduled yet. Last Friday, Tier 2 agent said that she puts an inquiry on my behalf to the FO stating my concern about DV deadline. Should I call Rep. office or just submit a request in their portal in regards to issues with Federal agencies (including USCIS)?

Hello everyone, this is my walk-in experience for a biometric appointment at Oklahoma City ASC. I got there at 8:10 a.m (wednesday). Got inside the security check and told him that I came to do a walk-in even though I was scheduled for 8/16/2021 as I had a time-sensitive case. He told me to wait outside till 9:00 a.m and a lady will be out there to collect the biometric letter and then I can ask her personally. Waited till 9:00 am and other people also started showing up. At 9 am the lady came outside and told us to make a line and stay at social distancing. When she came to me, I told her my situation and asked if I can get my biometric today. She asked if I had filled the AIW form which I had. She told me I could. I walked in got through the security check. Besides an hour's wait outside, I was in and out about 15 minutes. I hope everybody can attempt to walk-in. All the best to fellow AOSers.
 
Does the case usually get sent to your field office after biometrics or before?
NBC sends you your NOA; sends the Biometric appointment to your local ASC; and sends your AOS package to your local FO. (the fact that some people get biometrics sooner is all due to their ASCs being less busy and have more availabilities).
 
Ok, thanks milz. My bio letter was sent out July 23rd and I haven't received it yet. I asked a live agent if my case has been sent to an FO yet but hasn't. hopefully soon..
 
hi Mom,
my FO is Chicago IL and my case in FO(told by tier2 agent). she also told me , there is not time frame for intertview. I'm little concern for DV deadline. can I get intertview appointment if I start congressional inq at this point.
