Reusing Old Bios

Are they doing this again for the renewals? They used my old bios last time because of covid. Now my USCIS account shows a letter saying they will use my old BIOS dated Dec 21. Weird thing is they sent out my receipt of notices the same date. They received my package on Dec 17.

Anyone else who has sent recently receive the using old bios letter?

Yes they are using old bios. It said that on my 797 notice. Just got approved and got my EAD with same picture.

Yes same here. I applied recently and saw the reuse bios letter on my uscis account before I even got the receipt notice in the mail.

just got approved. Only took them like 10 total days to start producing my work authorization card. This has been the quickest I gotten approved.

I got the same notice saying that they will reuse my old fingerprint and biometrics and i dont need to appear for finger print. Does anyone know what is the next step?
