New Mexico filing

[a&o 4]

Question for anyone who has recently done their AOS plus EAD renewal as c(9) and lives in New Mexico: I read this on the USCIS site, but I'm not totally sure whether we need to mail our application to USCIS or if we are required to present it in person at the ABQ sub-office. It looks like New Mexico is within the jurisdiction of the El Paso office, but since there's a sub-office in Albuquerque, I wonder if that sub-office is also doing the in-person handling of the application. It seems like they would have listed the ABQ sub-office, as they list the Oklahoma City sub-office. Confusing!!!

In the meantime I made an infopass appointment just to get that scheduled if in fact that's how we do it. Will this be our interview and biometrics appointment, too?

THANKS FOR ANY HELP!
