Last calls and reading gave me one thing: FP (biometrics) info is stored separately from the 'main' case - they have separate databases. What could happen (and it did happen in my case) is that person in charge 'forgot' to 'attach' record from FP database to your file. What usually happens in such situation: you 485 case had been 'assigned to an officer', but an officer couldn't find you biometrics (see above) and moved your case 'for extended review' (or any other reason they imagine, but case will be moved back to a shelf :() After some time, your case get back to an officer, but because FP still not 'attached', it goes back on a shelf :( THAT is odd and weird :( I had found this issue after my case was pending for 6 month, and they still can't resolve this 'puzzle' (WTF?) To be sure, call the service center, and if they ask 'If you would like to know your application status ...', say 'NO!, I know the status of my application, but I'm concerning about my FP (biometrics)' - they will follow you, believe me. In your case they sent you another notice because FP really expired (FP valid for 15 month). Please, don't relax. After you FP-ing, wait for at least 2 weeks and call them back just to be sure your new FP is 'attached' to your file, otherwise you could end waiting another 100 years :(
Yeah, I'm waiting for my second FP appointment (old one will expire 6/23) and I certainly WILL call them to be sure they had attached it fto my file :(
Sad and long story, sorry for that. |
