@Koalabear must people FP walk in done in usually in a average of 30 days,meaning it should be between 25day to 35 days
of filling,for yours to be 18days, i think the nation benefit center has little case to handle,you might get your GC faster than
the 4months goal.
 
Got my FP yesterday, I was expecting a RFE for I-693 (forgot to send it), but instead got a FP letter, it's that normal?

You get FP letter as a part of BAU process. USCIS will review the file and decide if they need more details from you. So keep your fingers crossed.

O really? well, that sounds great Realcool1. I was kinda surprise too, the ASC we went was the one in downtown Los Angeles, CA. There wasn't too many people there that day (and there are around 4-6 ASC officers. So it was a breeze). Hopefully we can get the GC less then 4 months :) i think now my waiting game is starting.. until the Interview (hopefully no RFE in between, keep me in prayer guys).

I think for all of you that received your FP notice, just try to walk-in before your FP date. If they don't allow you to do it that day, the most they'll ask you to come back on your actual appointment date. It doesn't hurt to try! Coz as realcool1 said, we never know if its gonna speed up our processing time.. good luck everyone!! :)

Got a 2nd FP notice and today an I-693 RFE. Does anyone know if they will keep coming (the RFE's) or this is the only one that they will need? Meaning will they keep asking for more things in different letters or once I submit the final FP (the first one was not good) and the I-693 I will be done or they may ask for new RFE's after the submission of those 2? I am not clear on that one. TIA

All file might be in the same office but proceeded at different time so you will be asked for RFE with reference to different Form
at each giving time,you got RFE for form I-693,you have to make sure you sending the I-693 with all supporting document,if you send it,
without one of the document you will be giving RFE for that document
NOTE
Make photocopy of the notice of RFE(yellow form) and send the original copy with your document,it help fasting the process of RFE.Try a walk in for your new biometric appointment.
so you can keep to time with you January filter

Hi,
It was very easy. First they told me to fill out some form, then they called my number and took my fingerprints. It took a while because each finger was printed individually twice. In around 20 minutes I was out. Now I'll be waiting for Interview Letter and EAD Card. I know that it will take at least another month or so but this is the next step. Hopefully I will not get a RFE. Good luck with your fingerprints.
 
im happy everything went well for you.yeah i think in 2 weeks u will get your work permit n i believe u gotta go to the social security office to apply for your social.yeah hopefully no RFE!!.im looking forward to my biometrics.keep me posted,thank u
 
fancyjagirl, you can also try to walk-in to get your biometrics done. Some folks have mentioned that this may speed up your process by a few days, though when I had my fingerprinting, the attendant there had mentioned that they will take the walk-in fingerprinting but will not send it out prior to due date. Does not hurt though...

My spouse plans to try that out tomorrow.

Lexin,

I'm looking at November and December filers' thread, the approximate days for EAD is between 60-70. So, since you're in day 26 on your FP, probably wait 1 month or so after your FP date and start to look forward to the EAD (assuming there is no RFE in between). I'm in the same stage with you, only 3 days difference. Hopefully we'll get our EAD soon. :)
