Oh Dear. My appointment for biometric AOS and EAD was for 9th May. I was in Key West so rescheduled. I made an infopass appointment to get an update as no letter to reschedule has been received. I have been told that I will go to the back of the line as if starting from the beginning again. They will write to me with a new appointment time within the next 2 months. I am devastated. How crazy was I. I did not want to loose out on a $1k holiday already paid for. and now I have lost out on possibility of several months and alot more that the holiday in wages during the void period.
Question: Has anybody had any experience with this? I asked about the 90 day period and was told it no longer counted? Day 90 for me is on 31st of May.
Anybody thinking of rescheduling please beware. I am going to try and get an infopass on day 91 anyway to see if I can be processed but not holding out much hope right now.
Any advice would be appreciated - other than the obvious don't reschedule!
