Biometrics

[BRIAN AND ISA 0]

Hello everyone! We finally were able to submit the AOS packet for Isabel and Isabella but she is planning on flying out to California next week for a month and a half and will not be back until August 4th. My question is if we get a Biometrics date for a date that she is in California, can we reschedule the appointment until they get back or do we need to change their plane tickets to come back early. Has anyone ever changed their date for the biometrics? Thanks for your help.

If I were you I would not reschedule my Bio appointment, try to attend the app.

USCIS is known as unflexible when it comes to rescheduling appointments.

Don't mess up their system, they are already messed up, you will create more confusion for them and not to mention delay in AOS, EAD & AP applications !.......

You can do the biometrics appt at any time, anywhere, as long as you have the biometrics letter with you, and your marriage certificate. Our appointment was to be in south florida, but we wanted to expedite the AP and we got the letter as we were about to leave to texas; so once in texas, we went to the office there, walked in, and we got the biometrics done. The only thing that might prevent you from doing a walk in, is if the location that you go to is highly crowded, but you can ask the security person when is the least crowded time and go back, or find another office....Your spouse can even locate a california office, and do the biometrics there. You could go to Alaska and do them there too. Just do a search of walk in biometrics and you will see that many forum members have done, and back when I did my search, I don't remember reading any posts about anybody having any problems doing a walk in; you can also try searching for rescheduling biometrics. Good luck.

When they send you a notice, it is indicated there that you can reschedule the biometrics appt.

but it's better not to reschedule it, cause you'll never know when will be the date, and it might cause a big delay for the processing of her papers.

I agree.

Thanks everyone for the info. We will see when she gets the letter for her biometrics if she will be back in time, we may try doing out there in California - great idea. Thanks again.
