AOS (biometrics taking so long)
Who else here is getting bored at home. I am hoping to atleast get my EAD and so I can start working. I filed mine August 20 and still didn’t hear anything from USCIS. is it possible that you get your EAD first before the biometrics appointment? or are there instances like that happen before?

Same situation here. Filed in August 3, been waiting for biometrics and called uscis got a case inquiry number on October 13th about biometrics and not answer yet. Asc Philadelphia.
BTW I'm so bored at home. Can't work, can't travel, can't even be safe in the street with all raids happening in sanctuaries cities like Philadelphia and more a week before elections...

they don’t give the EAD without the biometric, only they give I-765 approval notice without biometric.
anyway, i applied June15th and had my bio in August and still nothing about my EAD

At least you got biometrics, is better than nothing.

Thanks, same for you! Good luck

you can check this forum, it’s called immihelp.com. some people got EAD approval cuz uscis used old biometric. some others got approval letter before biometric but got the physical card after biometric.
good luck every one

@sabee B, so I am originally in a J1 visa before being married to my husband I remember they collected my biometrics October 2019, so it’s still kinda fresh and I even have my ssn too. I’ll go to that forum you’re referring to. thanks a lot!

Where did they take your biometrics? I was 3 years ago in a J1 visa too, do you mean in the consulate when you applied for the visa or in the social security office when you get you ss card? Or uscis?
sabee BOct 26, 2020
I can’t answer those questions cuz itt doesn’t apply to me . please check the forum

@L M and did they reused your old fingerprints?

@1111tm ma: The only time my fingerprints were taken was when I took visa interview. I am still waiting for biometric for AoS

if it’s out of processing time and you did take your appointment, u can call or chat with Emma typing live agent and you will be able to submit a service request
sabee BOct 26, 2020
I meant I if yuu did have your biometrics
bons c.Oct 26, 2020
service request last oct 4 no update yet
sabee BOct 26, 2020
at bon c , is it assigned to an officer yet?
bons c.Oct 26, 2020
it's concurrently filed and I'm in the u.s. so no officer..
sabee BOct 26, 2020
to bon c. go to : egov. uscis. gov
create an account . this is different from uscis.gov. add your cases, if you go to history of your case, you will be able to see if your SR was assigned to officer. you will be able to track the SR.

@1111tm ma, they took my biometrics in the dmv or social security office
bons c.Oct 26, 2020
thanks sabee ! I'll do that!
bons c.Oct 26, 2020
@sabee B, I did what you suggested. and sadly my case it said is not assigned for processing and that they will still prepare for officer review
sabee BOct 26, 2020
at least you know that and after 30 days if you don’t hear back then you can submit another SR . also calling and asking to speak to tier 2 officer might help. try to call at 8 am
bons c.Oct 26, 2020
ok great! appreciate the help!
