Why are you making a biometrics appointment?

Biometrics is assigned by the NBC and is performed at an Application Support Center not the USCIS local office where Infopass appointments are held...

Right - the infopass appointment is NOT a biometrics appointment. You don't get to choose when to make a biometrics appointment - they do. They will send you a notification in the mail telling you the time, date and location of your ASC Biometrics appointment. The Infopass appointments are held in different locations and are meetings with immigration officials who can help you out with specific questions or problems. If you have been waiting for a long time to get a biometrics appointment you can certainly ask at an Infopass appointment about why it is delayed. They are likely just to tell you to wait, though, although they could check and see if a biometrics appointment letter has been mailed to you and you haven't received it. They use your A# to look up information on your file.

We didn't receive a biometrics appointment after 4 months. A second tier customer service rep at uscis told me to make an infopass. And then the biometrics would be given. It sounds like I should find out more by calling the # given for our local office???

Close... The Infopass appointment may determine the status of your case. the best you can hope for is that the shake something loose ... but they cannot and do not do biometrics at the local office...

An infopass appointment is usually made so the applicant can go in person to find out what is going on with their case or status. The USCIS employee will then try to help them get the info they need but they do not make things happen.

A biometrics appointment is made at the place where fingerprints are taken and that's it. In Denver for example these two things take place in two totally different offices and have nothing to do with one another.
