How to reschedule a biometric interview

 Share

Hello.

We just received our 'Appointment Notice' and we will be out of the country during the date. If anyone could help in answering some questions I have it would be greatly appreciated:

1. I've read that one can just walk-in to get the biometrics done. How can I find out if my local USCIS service center accepts walk-ins?

2. Is mailing in the letter the only way to reschedule the appointment?

I scheduled an InfoPass appointment in the meantime hoping to get this accomplished before we leave the country but when I received the confirmation message it was for another USCIS location, not the one on my 'Appointment Notice.' Once again, thanks for the help.

Regards.

I suggest you go to your assigned USCIS ASC and do a walk-in at your earliest convenience. Bring your travel itinerary or whatever proof you have for your arranged travel.

We had a successful walk-in today. Security asked us why we couldn't come on the assigned date. We told him my wife doesn't want to miss class next week, and since we had a day off today, we drove over 2 hours to ask for an early appointment. The guard then made a call and told someone in the office where we were from and why we came early.

They then told us we could join the next group which is about 40 minutes after we arrived.

The staff was kind enough to let us get it done today. There were 8 or 9 people there for biometrics in our group. Because they were all scheduled for today, they were completed before my wife's, which is fair.

It was a good experience for us, so I'd suggest you give it a try by giving them a valid reason.

Good luck! smile.png
