hello everyone!!!

can anybody please give me some insights in here

coz' i got my biometrics appointment this morning for may 17 in charlotte my question is I know they have already opened a new support center in raleigh durham i'm from jacksonville. Charlotte is 6 or more hours from me while raleigh is less than two hours from my place. Is it possible that i could do the biometrics in raleigh rather than charlotte? or do i really have to travel further? :(

thanks!!!

I believe that you have to go to the place where you were assigned, I understand how you feel, I had to drive a long time also. But I also rocemmend that you call the uscis 800 # and double check with them.Best of luck to you and let us know what happens!!!

I don't think the Raleigh office is fully operational yet. I haven't heard of a grand opening yet as they seem to delay it all the time.

If you are asked to go to Charlotte; go there. Go the day before and spend the night there if you need to. Get in earlier than your appointment if you can because it seems to be a first come first serve kind of deal (it was when I went).

Its only 4 hours from Jacksonville to Charlotte. Unless you get stuck in traffic. But I've never seen Charlotte traffic bad enough to delay you an extra 2 hours.

PLEASE DO NOT PRIVATE MESSAGE ME OR EMAIL ME. I HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT CURRENT US IMMIGRATION PROCEDURES!!!!!

Hi Shian,

My biometrics were scheduled for 15th of May at my current address, but it happened so I have to move meanwhile. I called customer service and they said I could show up at ASC office at my new address with the original notice. We're going to try to go there earlier and I could let you know how it went if you like.

It's a different area and thereagain it depends on the officials there... But we'll see, I might have some info for you
