You can try although they do not have to accept you early again. If your location is again at Varick Street, try a "walk-in" there. It's not too far a walk from the subway station and I think it's worth a try. My biometrics were scheduled in the Bronx the day before I was moving so I really didn't need to walk in early although when I arrived, the office was practically empty and they actually asked me why I didn't walk in earlier. I suspect downtown is MUCH busier. Good luck!
