It's not uncommon for people to get several biometrics appointments, most often it's because the first ones didn't come out good and have to be redone.

 

If you're close to your ASC office you should go, don't waste time trying to get hold of a Tier 2.

Yeah. Sigh. I called and I have to go back. It is frustrating. It's a long drive. I watched them do it and it looked good to me lol. I was told I had to return and so I shall. Thank you.

I recieved a letter dated 12/20/19 as well but mine was for  a second biometrics appt! I did my appt Dec 20th. I called today and was told to call back tommorow and speak to tier 2 or just go again to appt on new letter scheduled for January 7th. I think I will call. Strange.

I haven't even received one bio appointment yet...sheesh! What can you do though.

Just a little update. 

I went to the Cleveland field office 10 days ago. Was in and out in 10 minutes. The officer already knew what I was there for, pretty much. I had an appointment set up by calling their call center. 

I got a temporary stamp to act as my green card valid for one year. (Mine is lost) So I will be traveling with that and my extension letter. I won’t be coming back into the US until March 10 so I’ll let you guys know how it goes then.

Why would you need the extension letter?  It is only used in conjunction with an expired green card.

You have a point. I’m not sure really. I was thinking of terms that if the border officer can somehow see that my original green card is expired that extension letter is my proof that I have filed to remove conditions. But I think I’ll mostly carry it with me for my own peace of mind.

You won't need it.  The stamp in your passport is sufficient.......Have a good trip.......
