Hello,
can anyone please tell me
a) if the online status gets updated once INS sends the FP notice? Mine
is May 2002, have not recieved FP notice till now.

b) Also I will be out of town for 2 months, If I get the notice during then and miss the date, what is the procedure..

Thanks a lot for your help...
 
Not necessarily...
I've completed my fingerprints, but the online status still says Received on blah, blah blah. TSC is really inconsistent with updating the online status. Heck, their inconsistent with everything they do....but I digress.

I thought they were doing the updates very regularly, these days, as not many people had complained about anomalies in updates. I guess, TSC has started to recidivate once again. Hmmm...in that case, it is all the more imperative that we guys post more information about anomalous updates, such as yours, pretty regularly.
 
here are some answers

a) TSC might not update the status saying that they've sent you an FP notice.

b) you will have 84 days (i believe the number is right) from the appointment date to finish the FP. For example, you will leave on Sep 1st 2003 and you get the FP notice in mail on Sep 2nd 2003 for an appointment date of Sep 3rd 2003 (worst case scenario, usually BCIS leaves a gap 2-3 weeks) and you return on Nov 2nd 2003. You can still go and get your FP done before the 3rd week of November though your appointment was 2 months ago. Moreover, some ASCs allow you to get it done before the appointment date. I showed my airline ticket and told them that I won't be in Houston and they allowed me to take it.

Anyways, I had this question when I was going for a vacation and my lawyer gave me this details. Hope that helps.

I think I am right but you can check with your lawyer
