My lawyer applied for a REP and the application reached the Dallas lock box on 28th October. I've received the receipt notice on 4th November from NSC. Waiting anxiously for Biometrics appointment.

Has anybody applied for REP recently? Please share how long it took to get the Biometrics appointment letter?

The lawyer did not file it as expedited as he said that is only honored/used in cases of death and emergencies :confused:

Thanks in advance!
 
Still waiting for the biometrics appointment. Tomorrow is when 2 weeks will pass since USCIS received the application. The LUD on the application was on 04/11. I am hoping that was the day when they printed the appointment letters and they are probably in mail - if I'm lucky. Otherwise I guess somebody still needs to look at the application and print the appointment letters.

Waiting and watching - lawyer said could take 3-4 weeks, so I know I'm just being impatient. Also the application was not filed with the expedited process. Was hoping to be lucky and get it his week. Want to fly out by the end of this month.

Just an update - has anybody filed an reentry permit recently?

Still waiting

This is the third week. Hopefully will get it by the end of the week when 3 weeks are complete.

No change in LUD.
 
what about scheduling info pass appointment with USCIS and try to convince them that you have to travel, they may accept to take your biometrics taken
just try
best luck
 
I was told 3-4 weeks by the lawyer and I think that is what USCIS says too, and that is why I have not thought about the Infopass route as yet. The 3rd week is still not complete. My stuff is shipping out next week - so will start putting pressure on the lawyer if it's still not here by then. Holidays next week may delay it further.
 
Any thing new,,,, can th Application support center accept doing the biometrics with the receipt notice or not
 
As far as I know, they won't. Even if they do, I believe there is a risk you'll break the 'workflow' and your application maybe rejected? Just guessing here.

Is there an ASC closeby to you? If so, go there and see if you can your biometrics done using the receipt notice. Mine is 100 miles away, so not really an option to take a chance as I'm busy with wrapping up things at work & home.
 
Appointment received

Received the appointment letter today. The appointment is on 11/29. Will try to go to ASC on monday to get this done.
 
good news congratulations............. I have just received my receipt notice ,,,, hope to receive the biometrics letter soon
 
I guess give it at least 2 more weeks. Mine arrived 2 weeks after the receipt notice. The holidays next week may delay it a bit.
 
Biometrics done

Did a walk-in to the ASC a week before the actual appointment. Lawyer had called the ASC ahead and told us that it would be better if we went before a certain time.

Walked in and it probably took about 10-15 minutes. There was only a gentleman ahead of us.

Planning to fly out this saturday if only can get a ticket at a decent price.

Good luck to everybody else in this boat!
 
I did a walk - in today with my Receipt notice and the officer told me that they have already accepted 2 cases like me today , and that became too much and ridiculous. He then asked his supervisor who refused to get my biometrics done by receipt notice only!!!!!! I'm travelling after 2 days.
 
My notice date is Nov 22 so when can I expect my Biometrics letter ? I want to travel by end of this month:confused:
