Hey, we are on about the same exact timeline right now....after reading a few posts here and there I've read some people did their biometrics in a different city (someone was from a different state but on vacation or work in Seattle and did it there without any problem). But I think they have specific facilities that you use in the closest city near you. I guess it will give more details once we receive the instructions in the mail.

Thanks Java, I work away from home for weeks at a time so it would be easier for us to do away from home

Hi all, so we sent our AOS paper work late June. However we never got the travel or work permit. We recently got the interview date For the green card next month. My question is: if we're approved and received the green card and haven't received the permits yet,  am I allowed to work? Just with the green card? thanks

Thank you

 

About your concerns about the biometric appointment:

I missed the date due a delay on the mail, however we went to the same place as the letter indicated, even though we were 2 weeks delayed for the appointment, they still took us and accepted taking the biometric info even without an appointment, so it seems they're not really picky on that. Good luck!

Yes, you can, just go to USCIS website and get an Infopass appointment to the nearest USCIS office, show up on the scheduled date and they will do it for you. It happened to me, the letter came 2 weeks after the biometrics appointment. Don't worry, they're not picky on that, just know that this will delay a lot on your process. 

Good Luck

We went into the Indianapolis local office. The receptionist at the desk told me there is a 90 day grace period on the biometrics appointment.    They took us in when they called all the people there for biometrics but we had to wait until all the people that had appointments for that day were taken. Whole visit lasted about an hour and a good portion of that was waiting on them to return from lunch break. They told us we could expect it to be about 30 days for them to set an interview appointment.
