Biometrics Appointment (2 Questions)

[hearsay 1]

1. I received my biometrics appointment for March 29th. This is a Saturday, is this normal that USCIS works on Saturday at the local application support centers (ASC)?

2. My conditional child has not received her biometrics appointment date, I am thinking they will do both of them at the same time anyway, can anyone confirm this?

I have been doing this for 3 years, I would think that I could look on uscis.gov before posting my questions that are already answered, but in case someone else needs to know. The ASC in some locations are Monday-Friday, in other locations are Tuesday through Saturday.

Still looking about the conditional child.

My son is 16 and had his own biometrics appointment letter separate from mine. His appointment was a day after my scheduled biometrics. How old is your child?

There are some local USCIS centers that opens on Saturdays but closed on Mondays. Mine was a Saturday too (for conditional greencard 2 years ago) and they're open on Saturdays here.

Maria's and Andres biometrics were on scheduled for separate days... Marias was Friday and they scheduled Andres for the next Monday ....... I talked with the ASC officer by phone and explained the situation to her. She was very cordial and helpful. She was able to squeeze in Andres biometrics the same day as Maria's and actually got them in a couple hours ahead of their scheduled appointment. It went very smooth. If you have to travel a long distance or are under time constraints talk to the ASC officer where your doing your biometrics and maybe they can work with you on your appointment dates and times .. especially when you have children. Doesnt hurt to ask.. Take care....

Looking back on our last interview our interview times were a few hours apart, but they took us at the same time. This time it is 4 days apart. I would guess if it's not to busy they will take us both at the same time. Archer, I am wondering who you spoke with about your appointment? I imagine it wasn't the national call center, I doubt they would be much help. Were you able to get a number to speak to an officer at the application support center before arriving or without a infopass?

We had to reschedule one of Maria's earlier biometrics appts. due to bad weather and at that time I called the National Call Center and they gave me the number for the local ASC. At that time I kept that phone number and the name of the IO who does the biometrics. This time I just made a call to the office again and they returned my message and she set things up very nicely for Andres and Maria to have their biometrics done. You should be able to get a contact number for the ASC you are going to get your biometrics. I made no Info Pass appointment but spoke directly to the ASC officer on the phone.
