I received my appointment for biometrics on July 31, is it possible to go earlier than my appointment? Do a walk in? I'm not 100% sure that I can make it the scheduled date because of work. I have a trip the day before.

I would assume you can do a early walk in. I remember when we did AOS we did an early walk in for Bio and it was no problem.

Hi Everyone: I am among the early filers for I-751. Sent in my package on June 30. The Receipt date was July 3rd. I received the NOA1 on July 5th. I haven't still received a biometric appointment letter yet. So I guess I'll just have to wait to see what happens. 

 

Also- I am in Houston Texas and sent in my application to California Service Center. 

you should add your case to the spreadsheet so I am not the only Texas one on there....

Now that we sent off the I-751 packet; I was taking first look at Citizenship required packet.

 

WOW . . . couldn't believe we have to submit again

 

If you were married before, send:
Proof that all earlier marriages ended-divorce decree(s), annulments, or death certificates(s);

Translated from foreign languages, etc.

 

Strange that we did this for First 2 year Green Card, it wasn't required for ROC for 10 year Green Card . . . and now it is back as required for Citizenship !!
