Is it OK to change field office?

[HelloMiffy 1]

Hi,

Related to my previous post on biometrics, IS IT OK TO CHANGE THE FIELD OFFICE you go to without moving in to the district? I was assigned to go to Syracuse office. But it's much much more convenient for me to go to New York City office because Syracuse is so hard to get to without driving. Has anyone been able to change your local office without moving in to the district?

You cannot change field offices that may do interviews.

But you may be able to walk into one of the others to do a biometric.

You can always try, as long as you have the appointment letter, and the office is not very busy.
