Madwoman & kiwiana, I added both of you to our April Filer Spreadsheet, please update your information when something new happens, or if you don't know how to do it, let me know and I'll update it for you :thumbs:

PrettyAngel, it's true, you can go and get your biometrics done early. As long as you have the original appointment letter, you can go and try it. But I haven't read about anybody having problems doing that yet.

If I knew that my biometrics appointment will be done soon as I got the letter. Oh well, I guess I will asked my friend (AOS filer too but not VJ member) to had our biometrics done at the same day.

I know how you feel. Our appt. is tomorrow so we aren't going early. My husband is currently on an O1 visa so he has to take off work for all of these appointments. It's not as easy for us to go whenever we want, but we could have went last week. Oh well!

Good luck to you tomorrow!

Yeah, you can go and try to get your biometrics done early. I don't know if it changes anything at all during the process and the waiting but I only live 10 minutes from the office where they do it, so I thought I might just give it a try. Plus my biometrics date seemed kind of far away. I don't know why it was that late as the office wasn't busy at all when I was there. :no:

My husband and all of his family is in Southport. It's beautiful there and going through this process sometimes makes me wonder why I didn't move there instead. Oh well.

I would absolutely go for the biometrics early. Especially if the wait time is 3 weeks or more.

Panterchen it will be interesting to see if or when you receive any info on your case, if it's before you bio appt. was.
