how many days does it usually take to get biometrics appointment notice by mail?

Biometrics appointment was scheduled June 30 on July 19, but I still didn’t get the letter from USCIS by mail. Maybe there are delays because of Independence day, but I am not sure.

question- do you do multiple biometric appointments or only one?

I just got notice that my biometrics appointment was scheduled for the I-475; however I was wondering if the results from this biometrics are shared with my other applications (I-130, I-131, I-765) or is there a biometrics appointment for each application ?

Question: Does status update if your biometrics appointment was scheduled?

According to USPS I am about to get delivered mail from USCIS. I didn’t have the biometrics appointment yet. Nothing in my tracking app is updated. I am just wondering if the biometrics appointment comes by mail without the app updating that biometrics was scheduled. #biometrics #waiting
