Can the biometrics be done before the scheduled date after you get the NOA ?? I see a user "Stephen + Elisha" on this board mention that he did it before the scheduled appointment..(their comments given below) Has anyone done this ? I need to travel abroad with family soon and was hoping to get the biometrics done before leaving.

"Stephen + Elisha" Says ...

"He will definitely need the original letter when he gets ready to travel back to the U.S. CBP will have record of his extension at the POE but the airlines will demand to see the original letter before they'll let him board a US-bound flight.

I can't speak to the questions regarding biometrics scheduling. We did a walk-in on ours the day after we got the letter, a few weeks before the scheduled appointment.

Just out of curiosity, how long has your husband been out of the country? "

Most people have had pretty good luck when they bring the original biometrics-appointment letter, appear at the processing center, and explain to the guard that they have a conflict with the scheduled date (or that they have a legitimate need for an accelerated appointment). I've read only isolated reports of anyone having been turned away. Give it a try.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).
