Hello All,

I checked my mailbox this morning and my biometrics appointment notice was delivered. I have my biometrics on 07/09/09. Hope you all receive yours soon.

Regards,

Maan

I also finally received my notice on 06/23/2009 for an appointment on 07/09/2009.

This is a work day for me, do you think I could do just a walk-in on Friday, which is my day off? Which is 06/26, as I assume 06/09/2009

the offices might be closed due to the holiday the next day.

I don't have any experience with walk-ins yet but I will try to do an early biometrics this coming Saturday. I hope they will be able to squeeze us both in! Good luck.

I received mail for biometrics today, appointment on July 8, but I have to move to another state with my husband on Jul 2 until the next year. We don't move permanently, therefore I cannot change mailing address or re-schedule biometrics at the new place. I drove to local USCIS, came in and told them the situation. they said you have to wait. I waited for more than 4 hours at their office, finally they did the biomentrics for me. Phew..., I did it.

Congrats on getting your biometrics done! Sounds like I might be in for a long wait on Saturday (I'm planning on doing a walk-in as well).

AJ & JJ, when did you get your first NOA notice?

Hi,

also had similar timeline, we just got the letter today dated 6/16/09 for a 6/30 appointment.

We had called the 1-800 # on the first NOA notice and they told us it is taking 30-60 days for

appointments to be sent.

Wishing you the best.

AJ & JJ

Got NOA on 5/5/09

Cool. USCIS field office and ASC most of the time don't have problems with early biometrics as long as you have the appointment letter. Hope you get approved soon.

Good Luck.

Hey All,

I'm still waiting on my biometrics appointment letter. I'm not sure if things have gotten screwy because hubby and I moved states about a month after sending our application. I updated my address online and got a letter from USCIS confirming it. It's been about 50 days - does anyone have any advice for me so that I don't fall through the cracks and get forgotten? I've tried calling the misinformation line but it's been a couple years since I've called and I can't figure out how to get to a person. And of course my I-797C receipt number doesn't work for case status like everyone else. I appreciate the help!

Did I finally receive the letter, did USCIS sent out a notice that the appointment got cancelled. It seems that they have cancelled all appoints form July 5-10, 2009. I assume they'll be closed on July 3rd. I will try July 10th. The original appointment was schedule for the 9th. What time do they open? We are going on vacation in 23 weeks and thought it to be over with then till the next step. :blush::blink:

I guess you could try a walk-in before the holiday weekend. Try the ASC office locator to find out about the opening times of your local office: https://egov.uscis.gov/crisgwi/go?action=of...office_type=ASC Good luck!
