Official 2016 Renewal Thread - Page 256

Well, a Tier II rep just called me. He must work on the West Coast because it past 8 here now. He said he put a note for them to schedule my bio appt, and I should hear back before 9/7. I also told him about my address change and whether that will affect the letter getting sent to me. He told me to call back to check at that time and have it faxed. I am also going to talk to my past apt and ask them if they could hold mail for me. He also mention it take them 30-60 days to get the appt scheduled. Not sure if this helps but at least something. I will still go to infopass though since if I can get it in hand, it would be the best.

Spot on. Even level 2 reps noise is tiring at this point. Only "mistake" we have made is to submit as close to 150 day mark as possible.
Totally fine with approvals for later submissions not impacted by technical issue, but what doesn't make sense is there doesn't seem to be any urgency in sorting out people who have been impacted or at least providing a stop-gap resolution by extending EAD at local office while they sort it out.
Taking longer than expected is understandable but not providing an interim relief and instead giving the run around with scripted answers is frustrating.

Biometric Benefits Support System (BBSS) or Biometric Storage System (BSS)

I just found a couple DHS docs im going to read on the actual process of scheduling bios.

Its completely not fair for people that sent their applications in february to have to wait all this time and lose their jobs. They should fix the problem first instead if approving people that applied in june or may. Its not fair to throw us february and march applicants under the bus just to cover up for their mistakes. Someone in USCIS need to man up and address the situation because the ones losing the most is us, the people that have a permit that has expired already, not people that are 2 or 3 months away from expiration. It's just not fair.

9 days still no ead

11 days for me. What does the case status show? Mine went back to "Case was approved" yesterday.

130 days and still pending... They are approving recent apps left and right which is great but can careless about us. My congress rep did another follow up for me today I'm waiting to hear back and I am going to call USCIS office once again Monday... I have exhausted all of my options ,now just hope and pray they start rolling this process like yesterday...

Try 7/30 club. Lol
