Biometrics is only for I-485 and EAD. That was what I got too. When you receive your EAD card, it will be a combo EAD-AP card. No biometrics needed separately for AP, as far as I can infer.

you had your original appointment for 04/10 and on your attempt to walk in early you got rescheduled for 04/11, 1 day later than your initial appointment? :blink: was that your wish or did they punish you for walking in?

I had something at the scheduled time on 4/10 that I preferred not to miss, and that was my "excuse" for walking in. However, they said I couldn't walk in, but I could just reschedule for later in the week, so I said okay. The guy at the office just crossed out the time on my ASC letter and wrote the new one. It seems that the field offices have full control over the scheduling as they can accommodate you whenever they want (even the mail-in rescheduling form goes to the field office.)

oh cool, thanks!

Ah, I see... I don't really have an "excuse" beside the fact that I have a week off this week vs. next week I am full fledged back at the hospital... soooooo.....I'll just try and tell them the truth, see what happens. ;) thanks
