My card was returned by the USPS to the sender because of the insufficient address. so if I will request to re-send another card it might take few months the proceess. So what if I could not get the re-send card by Sep 30. will I miss it?

First of all, you won't lose your LPR status. Secondly, you don't have to apply for a new card but find out where the first one went. You said it was returned to the sender, so contact USCIS.

Hi mom
what do you think about bio walk ins ? Would it cause complications ?

I wouldn't have created a column on the timeline spreadsheet for tracking bio walk-ins if it is likely to lead to complications. Being able to complete the bio earlier can be helpful for cases that could potentially take a bit longer to get adjudicated due to prolonged background check clearance.

I still think it's weird that the live agents on EMMA haven't been able to see the Interview date in their system since the letter arrived this past week, but there you go...

...

For what it's worth, Tier 2 agents can't tell either. I got a call from a Tier 2 agent the other day about my bio (nothing was resolved) but she didn't know about my interview, and the letter I got for that was dated July 1st.

Is the USCIS# in my acceptance receipt is the same GC alien number?

So a wierd thing happend to me today - I recieved a letter from USCIS for my form i765 which is a biometrics appoinment. When i check the case status for it , it says " case closed , benefits received by other means". Also this had gone to my old address and it was forwared to my new address although my green card was recieved at the new address after the address change..

Am confused as to what this is !..why would they need bio for i765 after my i485 was approved and i already got my green card about 2 months back

That happens to me twice, one the update happened after 48 hours and the other time was a glitch from USCIS system and there is no update

But in my USCIS account nothing is showing. It says “invalid date”

 

[Sm1smom]

Hi, may I ask
would walk-in Biometric earlier than scheduled date help getting interview faster?

Thank you all.

It may if you happen to have a FO that requires applicants to complete and clear the background check before they will go ahead and schedule the interview.

From what I've observed, Tier 1/2 agents can only offer substantial help up to scheduling Bio appointment. Receiving the Interview letter depends on the FO.

The card can be sent long after the FY has ended, your LPR status remains intact.

Lucky you I tried 2 times in Los Angeles and it didn't work. I can try Pomona.
My interview went well but the Biometrics is holding everything up.

You should give Pomona a shot. Just go around 3:30. There were 3 ladies sitting and getting ready for the next business day. They even switched the date of their stamp to the next day

hi mom, can an uscis agent tell if my background check has been cleared or not? Thank you.

 

[raphael1899]

What "USCIS#"? Your A-number is on the NOA if that is what you are looking for.

did you do this and successfully walked in? I will try pomona if I have to.

I am curious to know how we could know if a FO requires this or not. For example, my FO(San Francisco) in the previous year sent out ILs or even actual interviews before the bio letter or bio date based on the spreadsheet. Based on this I could guess that this location would not require it? (Can't tell this from this year unfort since everyone got the bio first seemingly) Technically, their policy might change over a year so..lol

It is really your call if you want to keep trying at the same ASC (or a different one), or if you want to wait as scheduled. Sometimes, you may have no choice but to wait.

USCIS can sometimes be confused themselves, as there are several departments involved with the process and they may not be cross-checking with one another at times.

Not likely - a tier 2 agent may be able to.

Since the notice you got clearly states it is recommended that you submit your medical report "to avoid any delays in processing your application", you should have gone ahead and submitted it right away - I'm assuming they provided instructions for submitting the medical report or they did not? So yes, that may account for the delay you're experiencing. But before we can come to that conclusion, you need to provide more information about your case. When did you file? When did you receive your NOA? Which FO has jurisdiction over your case?

Hi!

I sent my documents in the second week of May, Got NOA in the last week of May, and my FO is in Chicago.

Unfortunately, that is the only information in the letter. They did not give any more instructions for submitting it. Since it says "you can bring it to the interview" I was assuming that it would not affect the timeline of the interview but is that not the case?

Thanks!
