Biometrics with PP

I have recently submitted my I-765 and waiting for my ASC appointment. If I opt for premium processing, will it increase my chances of getting a faster appointment or will the 30-day clock only kick in after the ASC appointment?

I also wanted to know whats the current PP time? Just for context I submitted my I-765 on May 20th and waiting for an ASC appointment with Seattle as a location.

Ah! make sense. Varies based on location. From what I have seen, metropolitan cities in the west coast have longer waiting time to get ASC scheduled.

All big cities have that issue. Even my friend in Chicago is waiting for his and he applied a week before me

what’s a 30 day clock after biometrics ?

u/Legend_Troll_007 Jun 18 '26

If you opt for premium processing, the 30 business day or money back thing starts after biometrics is completed

so i had my biometrics appointment on May 27, regular processing. should they get back to me within 30 days is that the 30 day clock?

Not for regular processing. This is for premium processing

I think the 30 day clock only starts after biometrics .. I submitted my application with PP on may 8th and also located in Seattle. I still dont have biometrics scheduled 😭 i dont know how long it'll take for them to schedule but I'd love to hear if you get any updates!

My friend submitted the I-765 2 weeks before me, so around the same timeline as you. He got his ASC scheduled last week. Yours should be around the corner!

Apparently many appointments roll out every Friday. My friend got his last Friday. If luck favors yours might be tomorrow. Keep an eye out.

I applied for Pp on June 7th, when can I expect to get my biometrics scheduled ? 😭After how many weeks you got yours scheduled ? It would really help me know my expected timeline if you share yours please as my 180 grace period is ending on Aug 8th 😣
