Happy 4th of July !

I have the exact same dates. Figured I go today and try it.

Unfortunately, because of yesterday's holiday they have a lot of people scheduled for this week so there was no way they could squeeze me in. This guy was nice about it and told me that usually they would do it, but I just picked the wrong week.

Oh well, will go to my regular appointment then...

I still haven't received my biometrics letter #worried

I'm in the same situation, NOA1 was 1st of June - still not heard anything regarding biometrics. More alarmingly they got my address wrong on my i-485 but not my i-765 and I did not receive text message notification for my i-485.

It has since been corrected but I'm starting to wonder if the biometrics was sent to the wrong address by mistake. Lodged a service request.

I have a copy of everything I sent in and it was all correct on my end.

Good to see someone in the same boat anyway.
