Hi all,
Just for reference, I was notified by text on Saturday August 20th that my account had been updated to reflect that USCIS had finally scheduled my bio appointment after 162 days. I received the paper notice in the mail on Thursday August 25th for my appointment scheduled for Sept 8th, but was able to walk in to my ACS location and successfully complete bios yesterday August 29th (Michigan City, IN). In the meantime, I still have a couple weeks of work before the big day. Thankfully, I've been upfront with my boss from the beginning and told him about the delay a month ago when I still hadn't received my bio appointment. He is aware of the delays, and I just talked to him again on Friday and he is going to let me work from home until I get approved so that I don't have to drive with an expired license. We are a small business, so I'm luckier than most others and will still be paid. I will still be praying that I get approved in the next three weeks. Good luck everyone.
