Wow congrats! Can you explain how you filed inquiry with Emma?

H K2d

Congrats! Did you have to go into the office again for biometrics on Apr 28 or did they reuse the fingerprints from before?

@Current PD I called USCIS customer service at 800-375-5283, listened to the list of options, and connected to an agent after entering my receipt number using the phone keypad. After answering some verification questions, the agent informed me that my case was outside the normal processing time range, so I qualified to file a service request. I said yes, I would like to proceed with a service request, and she completed the remaining steps for me.

@H K They reused fingerprints from before (no actual biometric appointment).
