tried to walk in at Dallas biometrics office,beyone frustrated

[trulove 1]

Hey everyone, ** excuse my typo on the title. BEYOND frustrated is what I meant.

This has been a very frustrated day. I went this morning a 8am to make an attempt to do a walk in biometric app. I been waiting for over two months for my appointment letter. They denied my walk in. I explained I was trying to expedite my EAD I-765 and my AP I-131, but the answer was still no. I come home to check my email from US immigration stating unable to expedite and....

Your case is currently in suspense until you complete the process at the ASC for your biometrics.

I MEAN SERIOUSLY . I feel like I'm getting the run around.

This has been a rough few weeks. Also I went ahead and did make a infopass appointment for next week. Am I going to have to hear the same thing from them...get your biometrics done?? DO I need the biometrics done to get AP.

PLEASE help!!

You do need biometrics before AP will be issued. AP doesn't use the photo but I do believe you fingerprints are required for it.

Have you received your biometrics letter? I would print the letter from USCIS about processing biometrics and try again later today, or tomorrow. Tell them to call a supervisor or whatever but you NEED your biometrics done now. Take your NOA1 to show how long it's been since you filed.

Hopefully you'll get someone who is sympathetic. They usually can't process your biometrics without the biometrics letter but I did read a thread where someone at the girls local office was able to generate the biometrics letter there and then. Be insistent but polite. Ask to speak to the supervisor. It's a 10 minute process to do biometrics, not like you're taking up their whole day.

No I haven't recieved any letter for biometrics in the mail. I did speak to the supervisor and was very polite.

They mean its on "HOLD and unable to process" by saying suspense. I applied for expedite and they can't do that due to the biometrics. THanks for the well wishing.Its been tough. I booked a infopass appointment for next week.

No idea. i would assume maybe 4pm. I would take the NOA1 and email from USCIS which implies you NEED to do this. **fingers crossed* for you.

Have you tried your congress representative or senator? I am trying to expedite my EAD and after getting nothing from contacting USCIS, making an InfoPass appointment and contacting my congress rep, I finally am getting help from a senator's aide.

Good luck to you!

If your biometrics appt letter has not arrived by the time of your infopass, get a letter from them there , then cross town and try and do a walk in biometrics.

We went through Dallas, my husband got a bio appt for like 1 month down the road, he went to the ASC with that letter and they let him do his bio sooner than the appt time. We thought they were fairly friendly and flexible at Dallas.

Good Luck! Hope it all works out

edit---We went through the DORA program though.....i don't know if that makes a difference or not.
