My N-400 application is moving pretty fast. I just got another update about my Biometrics appointment. It’s been scheduled for September 27th, Thursday. 

 

I will try a walk-in tomorrow, since I won’t be available on that day. 

That's right ... mine too changed to September 26th and I walked in today at Dallas because I will be out of country by then ... was in and out in less than 20 mins.

 

 

Though Dallas Processing Date shows 25 months on the update ... haha

My driver's license is expiring next week so I went to USCIS to get a stamp since I still haven't received the second extension letter. 

 

Two people at the information desk told me "we can't give you a stamp unless it's 30 days before the letter expiration date". Like, okay, how am I supposed to drive for a month without a license? They finally gave me a number to go talk to someone else. That lady repeated "we are not allowed" a couple of times, then took my driver's license and my passport and went ahead with stamping it. So yeah, that was an unpleasant experience.
