Does Fast Biometrics = Strong Case

During a recent Immigration Answers show, a caller asked Jim and Daniel whether the fact that his biometrics (fingerprinting) appointment notice came quickly meant that USCIS liked his case. This is interesting because we often have people asking if their case is in trouble because their biometrics takes a long time. Jim liked this question and took a deeper dive in today’s video.

We love you Jim ❤
You videos are short and very informative

Thank you for this -- I always appreciate all of your informative videos and time you take to do them for us. What about a biometrics then getting your employment card 3 months later, then an interview 2 months after that. Is this fast and a good sign? Thank you!

I applied I-130 for my wife in july 2021, the petition didnt got approved for 1 year, she applied for tourist visa and was granted, she came to US un july 2022, then we filed for I-485 and I-765, after filing these cases she did her Biometric a month after, by now its been almots 6.5months that she did her biometrics. we received RFE for both I-130 and I-485 in jan 2023, when will she get her EAD??

My wife and I filed the I 765. Got the receipt notice and 48 month extension on March 1. Then they sent a second receipt . She has 2 receipts. Wierd. As if they processed it twice. Still no biometric appointment. Tried looking up the case status and it says "instructions were mailed to your address". Tried calling USCIS and it's been impossible to talk to a live person. It's been almost 2 months. Application was accepted February 10. Receipt was received March 1.

Hi Jim, could you please indicate what the current trend for wait times for biometrics are (as of November 2021)? I'm in the Seattle area if that makes any difference.

[adasandrine]

Please what is a form I 693 deficiency notice?? What does that signify

[strongtowerman]

Will 601A waivers move faster in Nebraska? Could one get a response quicker than the almost 2 year processing time?

[PetralieJo]

I applied for a N-600, does that mean I will have to take the Civics Test during the Interview? I have already taken the Biometric.

[fredmwebaze]

Does lawyers petition has any affect on the process of I130 PETITION or just normal like self submitted petition

[czert]

Is it normal that on first I-797C forms there wasn’t alien number? (Card was charged and current status is processing.)

i been waiting like two month for biometric since june 27 when i send medical exam to uscis

[KagisoKelentse]

My EAD status progress says my biometrics have been completed i did not have an appointment. I thought i should be physically provide my biometrics. Or did they use the biometrics from my visa? Thank you!

[waelzayed]

Even with an employment based AOS application? I've received my receipt notice after two days of submission, then biometrics notice within 3 weeks? I was thinking that maybe USCIS is going to conclude my case pretty quickly, specially if my interview is waived
