Biometrics quick question - Page 4

Under typical circumstances, USCIS takes 30 days to set your biometrics appointment. Which means we're looking at August 15 + 30 days (or more) + 80 days (or more). This shouldn't come as a surprise anymore though.

When asked about the ID for biometrics, she said that they do not know how the biometrics system will take place for childhood arrivals. While it's not really an answer at all, it does suggest that they are re-evaluating every step of the process for us, knowing that we, as undocumented immigrants, come with our own unique problems that most other immigrants don't. While I'm not completely relieved, I'm not that stressed about the valid ID for biometrics issue anymore.
