Here is my situation:

USCIS accepted my application on 6/8 but i didn't hear back about bios for months.
I contacted multiple times through various avenues (congressional rep, ILRC, and customer service) until they scheduled my bios for 10/21. Basically a 5 month wait JUST for my bios appointment.

Based on people's experiences, can I expect the rest of the process to go buy more quickly since they took so long to scheduled my bios? This is my second renewal, and I have not been in any trouble, nor applied for advanced parole.

I am coming in to work on a volunteer basis and will receive back pay when this gets settled, but I don't know if my credit cards and savings will get me through if this takes beyond December.


My work permit expired 9/15.
