Whenever we check his case online, it just says fingerprint fee received, but it doesn’t say anything else. Do we need to call to say he had his fingerprints done at a different center or do they already process that in their system? How long does it take to receive an update after fingerprints are done?

Mine took about 6 months to get approved.

Received, Biometrics, Interview*, RFE, Approved, Denied, Document in Production*

* - Not applicable to I-601A

6-12 months. The only notices you'll get is possibly an RFE, and either approval or denial.

My mom leaves for Juarez this Sunday with both I-130 and I-601A approved, all the documentation needed, apparently no re-entry, no criminal record, or anything. They scheduled the doctor appointment for Monday, Wednesday for bios, and Thursday is the actual interview at 9am. And I am nervous as shit.. but my brother, the sponsor (USC), is completely calm. Haha.

Just posting the timeline in case anyone wonders how far in between things are scheduled.
