Thanks for refreshing my memory about your case, providing the background story when asking questions helps. It may seem like I have the memory of an elephant and I remember everything about everyone's case, the truth is I don't ;). To your questions:
1. No it is not okay for him to not have a bio appointment. He will not be getting a GC if he does not complete the bio portion of the process.
2. Yes, you need to follow up with USCIS to find out about his bio appointment. You can contact EMMA online to try and find out about this or call the 1800.

Today, I called USCIS and got the bio letter in email.

Is this common?

Thanks mom. Do you know if anyone else that has been in my position but was successful at interview?

You think I would have written “I’m sorry I have no idea” if I know of an anecdotal reference I could have mentioned or compared your case to?
 
Hi Mom.

My congressman's office contacted FO about my interview appointment two weeks ago and a person who contacted them emailed me and said that they are awaiting USCIS's response. I emailed and called the office couple of times last week and this week, but I couldn't get hold of the person who contacted USCIS. Other folks at the office are also not being super helpful and keep mentioning their heavy workload (which I totally get). I was thinking of contacting Senator by the end of next week if the congressman's office still not responding. Would that be a good alternative?

P.S. I know you get these questions a lot every day and I hate asking them myself really, but I'm frustrated as I see none of these options like Tier 2 inquiry/expedite request and congressional inquiry have been effective. A lot of folks on this forum got their interviews scheduled yet our FO is being super slow with DV cases.

So basically back to the response I previously provided here and here. I honestly can't provide any further guidance on this case as it is right now, wish I could, but I have no idea as to what is going on like I previously stated.

one question about withdrawing,
if we have two active packages and want to withdraw one, is it possible that USCIS becomes confused and returns both packages?!

How about exercising some patience considering you’re not the only June filer from your FO waiting for an interview and your FO already demonstrated an awareness of the DV deadline based on at least one listed case that already got interviewed and approved. Stop comparing your cases to other FOs, and just be patient. Each FO is different, really.

They could be “become confused”, if you don’t provide them with the right information and clear instructions on what you’re trying to do, both could subsequently get cancelled. USCIS does not return withdrawn packages, they simply send cancellation confirmation.

sorry for more and more questions
and so so thank you

and if we do not withdraw and do go interview with two active cases, and explain to the officer, is not better than making confusion for USCIS and mistakenly withdrawing both?!

Your situation is unusual and could be further complicated, I don’t know. People do not typically have two filed cases based on the same eligibility going on in the system at the same time.

Hi. So my wife, (primary applicant) received an approval notice 2 weeks ago (skipped interview or interview scheduling), and I am still stuck waiting for my interview letter. Do you have any suggestions as to what to do?

Thanks.

Have you done any case follow up inquiry?

I've asked for an update less than a week prior to my spouse' approval and requested call from tier2 but have not spoken to it, or have done any follow-up after the approval.
What route/mean should I take for the inquiry?
 
Hey everyone,

Do we need to present in the home to receive the card or will the usps would deliver it even nobody is there? Thanks
