Case Processing
Biometrics appointment VAWA
I got my biometric appointment today by mail. however, on the letter it shows only for i485 and i360. but I also applied for EAD and travel. All of them were filed together and I got the receipts at the same time in September 2023.
Will I get a separate appointment for i765 and i131? Or are these going to be applied for them as well? any answers are appreciated. Thanks.

CASE TRANSFERRED TO NEWARK FO
I learned today through Emma that my case was transferred from Potomac SC to Newark FO, sometime in January without any notice. Has anyone had a similar movement with their case? Is this a good sign, and what should I expect as the next action step, and for how long? TIA🙏
I-551 Temporary Stamp
Has anyone here ever used the I-551 temporary stamp for travel while waiting for their physical green card to be received? My case was approved on December 30, 2023, but I have not yet received my physical green card. I am planning to apply for the temporary stamp so that I can attend my son's graduation back home.
I really need to go home for this important event, but I am a bit worried about potential issues with immigration when coming back. Can anyone share their experience with using the temporary stamp for travel?
