Hi Fellow VJ Couples,

Long time no see!

We're doing good at our end immigration wise so far with the AOS and hope our friends here are too. Hubby and I are sharing the comp and spending much of wonderful times together we haven't checked in here in a while.

What brings us here other than to say Hi! is that we recieved my biometrics appointment at USCIS Modesto CA for Feb 8. Seeing as the van we use is currently not working we couldn't get to it. Fortunitely there was an option on the appointment letter to reschedule for the next available wednesday or saturday afternoon. So I checked the box and made a copy of the origional and sent the origional back to USCIS Modesto as instructed on the notice if a different appointment date is needed. Well it was posted a few days before Feb 8th and yet we still haven't recieved a new appointment.

We're not too sure how long a rescheduled biometrics appointment usually takes in general or if it differs depending on which USCIS office you're going through specifically.

Does anybody have any knowledge of how long usually the wait is to get a new appointment through the mail? How long now should I wait to call and try and find out whats up? We're trying to put off calling as usually these people on the phone don't know what they're talking about/don't look at your particular case file or just give you a general responce. So we turn to VJ lol.

Hoping someone has some insight.

Love hurts

When you live an ocean away

When you change your sleep schedule to catch a few more moments

When you really need to be held and you have to imagine whilst your partner describes it

When you constantly refresh the USCIS website to see if you're getting any closer

Love Loves

When it repays you with the love of your life

When God finally answered your biggest prayer

When you can live life again in the real world but still have that eternal connection

When you wake up for to the beginning of the rest of your life with the person you fought so hard for

When you love somebody that much

You'll do anything

I rescheduled mine and it took about 10 days- 2 weeks to get a new letter. You could probably just show up, although when I was getting mine done in Boston, I heard them threaten to send away a couple of people who had shown up at a time other than the one on their letter (but they let them stay).

Thank you guys for the insight and advice. We're gonna wait till it's been 2 weeks and then phone. Can't really risk just turning up and hope they do the biometrics though it's great it worked for some people :) Thanks again.

Every local service center seems to deal with rescheduled biometrics differently. Ours had us send back the form like yours did, but when we received the updated appointment, it was about five weeks in the future. (Never mind that they could make the original appointment with virtually no notice at all!)

Conditions Removed! Ten-year green card received 6/24/2009. No more USCIS for a very long time.

We are having a similar issue.

We just rescheduled in St. Paul, because my husband is out of town to be with his grandmother. We sent the letter in and it took about 2 weeks to get rescheduled. WE sent it thinking they would reschedule a few weeks out, but they only gave us 1 week. so he will still be gone. The question we have is do we send the letter in again to reschedule or is there a number we can call? I called the # on the form but just recording with no related options.

any suggestions?

Any body have any experience in ST. Paul. What can we do? Shoudl I send the letter to reschedule again or just show up the following Saturday when he flies in? Or what? I don't want to get into trouble with any immigration folks!

Any # we can call?
