Switching ASC Offices for Biometrics- who do we need to notify and how?

Timeline

My husband received his notice for his AOS biometrics appointment for August 13. Even though I sent a letter in the original AOS submission packet asking for his biometrics to be scheduled in the city of our temporary residence (Boston), they scheduled him for the office in the city of our permanent/ mailing address (we are in between residences right now so I used my parents' address in CT as his permanent address). It is very difficult for him to get to the CT office because there is no public transportation, and I cannot drive him at the specific time for which his appointment is scheduled.

Today, my husband went to the Boston office, and they said he could come back on August 13 to do his biometrics. I am not confident that they will update his case and that the CT office will know that he is not planning to come to that appointment.

Should I write a letter to BPU (the office through which you are supposed to re-schedule biometrics appointments) to ensure that they know he has switched offices for his appointment or should I trust that the Boston office will take care of the communication? Is this something where the CT office could say that he never showed and therefore, his application is denied? Any other thoughts?

You can go to any ASC office to have biometrics taken, USCIS just (usually) schedules you an appointment at the office closest to you for your convenience.

Your husband should simply go to the appointment at Boston at the appointment time, and take things from there. Just make sure he brings his ID and biometrics letter.
