This was one of my last emails to USCIS: "Process my case outside ELIS. USCIS' internal ELIS issues have grossly delayed my application to the point that I have not been scheduled for biometrics. Everyone knows this is an internal USCIS issue and not the applicants. Process my case through CLAIMS 3, SNAP/NASS(manual), ELIS is not working for me." I got an email that they had manually entered my information. Which at the time I thought they were BS'ing, but NASS send out batch appointments on a weekly basis, so Friday night might have been the day it send out appointments since we both got it around the same time. I'll be interested to see how the later part of the process works out. |
1. Do you currently have an ELIS account?
2. To which email address did you send your inquiry regarding removing you from ELIS?
Thanks - I'm glad you've received a biometrics notice! Wow, the day when we rejoice over a simple biometrics notice.

I use the ELIS 'Contact Us' feature, I usually get a response within a couple of days.

Hey guys, I finally got my EAD card!!! 
Timeline:
Expired: 8/17/16
Received: 3/21/16
Bio scheduled for and done: 4/13/16
I-821D Approved: 8/7/16 (received a few days later, but I could print it out)
EAD Approved: 8/7/16 : Sent to production: 8/10/16 : Mailed on: 8/18/16 (my account switched from in process / approved to closed and approved the day before 8/17/16): Received: 8/20/16.
Note: aside from when my application was first received. I never got any text/email updates. I had to go on my account and manually check. The tracking number for my EAD never appeared either.
Hope everyone gets theirs. Good luck!

I wonder if it would be helpful to also supplement this with a request to revisit the 120-day DACA extension. Yes, I know that nobody has been successful, but I wonder if those with delayed biometrics could make a case that over 60 days and no bios is certainly beyond processing times. Who knows.

They still have the 120-day extension language on their site, and someone said a USCIS rep cited some internal memo. I wonder if we can find something more authoritative online, like that memo or a regulation (i.e. In the Federal Register) from which to cite.
