rogerluli Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 (edited) Laopo had her Biometrics appointment last Friday and everything seemed to go fine until I asked the smiling lady gummint worker how long it might be until a green card and/or interview...She cheerfully replied..."6 to 8 months"... Is it really possible that the wheels of immigration can be turning this slowly? 8 months wait for biometrics and then another 6-8 for an interview...

Guess you don't want to let your wife talk to mine until you get this paperwork thing corrected, when did you become such a bad husband Roger? Link to comment

NY-Viking Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 (edited) Keep in mind that the biometrics people don't really know what's going on ... just over the border here in the Twin Cities we had about a 2 month wait for biometrics (would have been longer .. but we called and were able to get an appointment .. .2 or 3 tries if I remember correctly) and then green card inverview about 3 months later (see our timeline below ...). The USCIS helpline had no idea about what went on at biometrics - they sent us a letter to go do it again! - and the people at the biometrics place had no clue how long green card processing would take. Every application is a little different, and every office takes different amounts of time. Basically, it sucks. Edited May 8, 2006 by NY-Viking (see edit history) Link to comment

For example: we filed AOS in May 2003; had AOS interview in December 2004. 19 months, give or take a day or two. Link to comment
