I-192 how long for status update after biometrics

Toddposted 1 year ago

Filed using E-SAFE, and went in for Biometrics as requested. E-SAFE status is still only showing "paid" days later, and still displaying the message that I have 45 days to submit Biometrics. Is this normal?

I initially returned to the border, but was assured everything was fine. I then received another email stating I had not yet completed Biometrics, and status was still not updated to received by ARO. I then emailed aroinquirywaiver@cbp.dhs.gov, and received a response the next day saying that the application was in queue, and to disregard any further messages regarding Biometric requirements, status still was not updated to submitted. I received two more emails after that stating that Biometrics were not complete, and application would be discarded. After the 45 day Biometric submission period expired, the status updated to submitted.

I am in this same situation as I did biometrics 2 weeks ago and no email yet. May I ask who you emailed? I just received an email saying I have 2 weeks to go for biometrics but I did my biometrics 2 weeks ago. Also, my application hasn’t been submitted to ARO.

Still no email or status update. I did send an email to the inquiry address they provide on ESAFE, and received a prompt response from them stating that it was on file with the Admissibility Review Office, and to ignore any subsequent emails relating to biometric requirements. Still makes me nervous though.

@Todd

What border did you go to? Check your junk mail to be sure. If no email saying what @wishbone quoted after a week, absolutely go back.

I received an email the same day I did my Biometrics stating:


The Admissibility Review Office is in receipt of your application. Please allow 120 calendar days before inquiring about the status of your application.
