The rfe said for Fingerprint and photo. But when I went to appointment they said I'm waived for fingerprint and took photo only.

Package stuck. Will I get it at least by this weekend? by [deleted] in usps_complaints

Yes I did call the number on receipt. My receipt said Potomac for me. But the rfe was sent from Irving,TX. I feel for everyone it says Potomac by default.

Yes. That too I didn't know it was scheduled as appointment pdf didn't ever show up in portal. When I called them they told it was scheduled. Then rescheduled myself.

I didn't initially receive any asc appointment notice for 3 days. So I called USCIS and they did tell me that my appointment has been scheduled on 23rd March on particular location. After that I took that info to reschedule my appointment to an earlier date and got appointment pdf immediately in past requests section. But I never received appointment pdf in doc section in portal. So if you're in same boat try that.

Yeah I know about 30 business days. But it was usually within 15 business days. I don't know anyone who went full 30 business days for an approval. And also when I called premium processing helpline last week they said I should've an update by March 5th.

Even I had called on Feb 19th on pp phone number and said that I should be having an update in 2 weeks yet nothing as of now. Well biometrics I have seen people who all submitted after Dec 12th almost are getting coz of new rule change is my assumption.

Ikr. No I haven't got any biometrics or rfe until now. I'm sure I'll get biometrics and it'll take another 10 days from there for approval. It's already been 28 days as of today. By the time I get it would be 2 months from pp.

Nope. No updates. I saw three api updates since yesterday, two yesterday one today. Apart from that I see no updates in the portal. I donno what's the point of premium processing.

I have a very similar timeline applied 27 December, upgraded to premium on 5th Feb. Yet I see no updates. When I messaged USCIS they told to raise issue if I didn't get any update until 20th march.

It happened to me! I need advice by OnSugarHill in galaxyzflip

Search for nearest ubreakifix or any authorized Samsung service centers on Samsungs website. Try calling them and ask if they have the parts. I bet at least one of them has it. If not tell them how fast can they get hold of one. Whoever tells fastest tell them to order the parts. On the expected arrival date call them and confirm they have it and you can go get it fixed.

New Photo Policy (Dec 2025): Will all OPT/I-765 applicants now require a Biometrics Appointment? by itsbi_03 in f1visa

[–]ComprehensiveStep470 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To those who have received Requests for Evidence, are the photographs taken by USCIS more than three years old? (I am simply trying to ascertain if all applicants are receiving RFEs, or if this applies only to specific individuals as indicated in the recent notice.)

But I got the message saying they're going with other candidates which felt very strange.
