Request to travel to the US for biometrics while overseas on government orders

Hello! I applied online for Form N 400 - under section 319 b - we currently live overseas on government orders. I just checked my online account and they booked me an appointment for my biometrics to be done in the U.S. 
Is it normal? I thought people living overseas on orders weren't supposed to travel to the US for biometrics. Who should i contact? Thank you!

It's at the USCIS' discretion whether or not to allow biometrics to happen while overseas, and I've heard that it takes rare/extenuating circumstances to allow it. It also depends on the quality of the biometric services (if any) at your local field office.

 

Call your local USCIS field office (or US embassy, consulate, etc) and ask for an appointment - if they grant one, you're good to go. If not, you might be able to escalate it with a call to USCIS in US to ask for an exception to be made and then go through that process again of trying to book locally.

 

If that too gets denied, you would unfortunately be limited to traveling back to the United States, and I don't see a way around that.
