Official 2016 Renewal Thread - Page 488

What save system? you don't have to go to the DMV in person!!!?

I contacted NILC when I was still waiting for my bio appt. They told me they wouldn't be able to help until my renewal hits 120 days :/

Try calling and asking to speak to an immigration officer, I think that's what finally helped me to get my bios scheduled after 70+ days of waiting! Good luck!

You're right might have been 120 days.. but now they have more staffing so they may be able to start looking at earlier dates. Just an assumption on my part.

"California Service Center: csc-ncsc-followup@dhs.gov
Vermont Service Center: vsc.ncscfollowup@dhs.gov
Nebraska Service Center: NSCFollowup.NCSC@uscis.dhs.gov
Texas Service Center: tsc.ncscfollowup@dhs.gov

If you do not receive a response within 21 days of emailing the service center, you may
email the USCIS Headquarters Office of Service Center Operations at SCOPSSCATA@dhs.gov."

When I went to the infopass, it seems like they had the ability to schedule bios manually, except my officer linked it to my last renewal...so double check everything right there.

Reposting from the biometrics thread:

I just received the following email. Please keep in mind that I never received an access code letter in the mail when I got my two receipt notices early on. I was granted access to ELIS by calling the customer service line and speaking with a T2.


"The status of this service request is:

And it goes on longer to talk about it expiring 30 days from receipt, yada yada yada..

Has anyone received an email like this? Does this perhaps signal that I will be a part of today's "Friday batch"? Maybe I am grasping at straws here, but I will take anything I can get at this point.

I wont check my case until next Thursday... I got a call from an immigration officer and she told me my case is delayed since the bios that I took in May have still not came back...

I expire tomorrow

Just checked my records and I got that email on 08/18 and my ASC notice was scheduled on 08/27. So it's coming my man!
Pretty sure Johan got same email as well.

Fingers crossed! This is the first time I've seen an email like this, and I recall that some longtime bios sufferers received an online access code message / notice shortly before they received biometrics. Does that sound about right?

My brother submitted an inquiry because his bio hasn't been scheduled yet and he received the same email last week. He hasn't heard anything ever since though. He also had to call in for ELIS access code which is what I had to do too.
