Missed Biometric Appointment

[Chuckit272 6]

Thank you up front for any input.   My wife has a I-131 pending for re entry permit as a LPR.  We got a biometrics appointment notice for 1/8.  Unfortunately our lawyer office was closed and it wasn't seen until 1/12 due to the holidays.  We called USCIS and set up to reschedule but they said new appointment will come in email in next 30 days.

 

Lawyer suggested to go to the local office and see if they would allow us to do a walk in.  We came in and was turned away due to not having an appointment. No walk ins are allowed according to security.   This was Indianapolis.

Questions

 

What's the wait timeframe for a new biometrics appointment?

Is there any centers that may be nearby that will do a walk in?

i will try again 1 more time with walk in ( if it's not far from where u live). hopefully got a different person

or try chat/call emma and say "info pass" ask tier 1 to ask tier 2 to call you 

there's also message option on my uscis account, u can send a message to them ( but it's not heavily monitored)

try to reach out to your local congressperson, maybe they are willing to help

 

 

there's no time frame for appointment, they do whatever they want unfortunately

try to get outside ur area, type USCIS field office and look around if they accept walk in or you have to go to a specific ASC ( most big cities assign biometric in ASC and not in local field office)

Can you please give an update? Same thing has happened to me!
