Just received my biometric appointment after a ridiculous wait (compared to other applicants this year) of more than
four months. Never been this happy in this entire AOS process
.
After NOA and before bio-metric, I chatted with Emma 3 different times (difference of 2-4 weeks) submitted one inquiry request (through USCIS website) but nothing helped. Finally, I got a chance to speak with the Tier-2 officer last week. Although he did not sound helpful on the phone, he created a service request to NBC which actually helped me to receive my biometric appointment today. I knew that my
FO New Orleans has a huge backlog (like 7-8 months just for biometric) but looks like there are some available slots that they can make use of. So, if anybody is on the same boat, talking to a Tier-2 officer might help.
One Question: I might have missed but can anyone please recommend to me how early is it safe to do the bio-walkins?w
