The answers are:
1. No.
2. Yes.
In other words:
They stamp it with a red stamp & date it in ink & they give it back to you as proof you appeared for biometrics.

So, I did my biometrics yesterday. It was fast and hassle-free, just like two years ago. Maybe even faster...
Also, the number from the FP/Bio letter finally works on-line. The LUD on this application was today.
Interestingly, the application shows up as CRI89, and not I-751. I did a quick search on-line and it seems that this is the new "code" for removal of conditions. Oh well, as longs as it works...

Check this out, posted 6/15:

So it officially takes 6 months...

Nothing yet. I'd not want to trade places with anyone. But this is getting stupid. I paid $545 for this, give me my biometrics appointmen now! 
hey, thanks for ur previous reply! I would have another question:
How do u see your case status online? I did try the EAC numbers from the Appointment notice and it sais: Your case can not be found at this time in Case Status Online
I can see in your timeline that within a week of filing you could see status.. WHat number do I have to use?
Thanks,
Dave
No, I couldn't see status until I had a case number, which was two and a half weeks from when I filed, and I got that number from the biometrics I-797 (if it depended just on the extension I-797 C I wouldn't have a case number to this day). Once I got the case number starting with EAC in the mail, I checked online on 6/3 and that's when I saw the LUD from 5/25. They probably just haven't activated your number yet even though they assigned you one.
As you can see a few people in this club are missing something, just not the same thing. I filed almost two weeks before you and I still don't have an extension letter but you do, Praetorian filed almost a week before me and still doesn't have a biometrics appointment but I'm done with mine, and so on.

When I went for my infopass appointment I couldn't help but notice the local USCIS was going to be closed on Fri July 3 because the 4th of July falls on a Sat this year. You might want to inquire with your local office to make sure it is indeed open that day.
Yepp, I see that everyone is missing something.. maybe i wont ever have online tracking... Just out of curiosity when u scheduled ur infopass for the stamp what option did u select if u did it online? Because all the options seemd to require something like and order from a judge or a case for more then 45 days with the call center etc... I didnt really see any option which is just general services on the case.
THanks,
Dave
Thanks so much for the warning... you may be right. I think we'll just do a walk-in early and avoid the whole potential issue.
Yes there is an option which says "you need information or other services". Click on that instead of "you need service on a case that's already been filed" which has the sub-options that confused you.
The Receipt Number on NOA1 isn't good for tracking. The Application Number shown on the ASC Appointment Notice is the right case number for tracking.. But for example I got the ASC notice yesterday but tracking is not live yet..Hopefully they activate it soon
Thanks
its good to know just in case something goes wrong ... lets just hope I wont need an infopass appointment.myredskins

Wait till you do your biometrics to use that bio EAC number to see your case status online. I went thru what you are experiencing. Humans run USCIS so it kind of takes time my friend

Well, I didn't take it out of the thin air. This is based on several recent timelines at VSC. I'm surprised myself, but it seems that VSC has recently sped up. So far, they've been actually ahead of my guesstimates...
Edit: I just looked again at five recent cases filed at the VSC early this year. The average approval time for those was 124 days. That puts me exactly @ 9/12. Of course, this is just a guesstimate, so we'll have to wait and see...
