Hello everyone! My husband Sven and I are new to the board, and we are really enjoying reading about everyones progress, questions, answers etc. So of course we have to join in on the fun as well, since we too are so excited to begin this journey! We both are of Swedish decent, however as of a few months ago I'm a dual citizen since my US naturalization was approved. Yeah!

I've been checking the mailbox daily this week, but still no NOA letters. Hopefully tomorrow... Patience, I know! At least we were able to make out one of the MSC numbers on the back of the checks that were cashed, so at least we can see what's in the USCIS system. But question: how long does it usually take for the biometrics appointment to take place? We have a trip scheduled for April 15th, and we've seen alot of appointments take place a month after receipt of the AOS package. So now we are worrying that our appointment will happen during our trip... How easy is it to reschedule and how long is the wait? We will probably end up trying to change our trip, rather than rescheduling the biometrics. But we just wanted to know what to expect if we have to end up rescheduling.

Thank you for your help!

It depends on which local office you will go to for biometrics, but some offices let you do walk in's for that. Once you get the letter, try and contact your office and see if you can get in earlier?
