hello everyone,

Quick question, How long after you apply for I-751 do you have to wait for USCIS to ask you for biometrics?? Do they give you a certain amount of days to get the fingerprints done??? Thank you all!!

I sent my application in on September 9, 2006, got my NOA & Biometrics appointment letter on October 10, 2006, and went for biometrics on October 18, 2006. I haven't heard anything since October 19, 2006 when I got a "touch".

Vermont may be quicker than Nebraska, though.

All varies!! Took nearly 2 months to get NOA1 ( I went through Vermont) Some get that faster of course, some do not, lol. I had about 2.5 weeks notice for my Biometrics appt (they take ur fingerprints and pic there) But I had to reschedule, which was easy to do, which pushed it back another 2 weeks!! Took about 6 months from first mailing in the 751 to recieving my 10 yr greencard

How did you reschedule? I understand there is a formal way of doing so by checking a box, but I read on another forum yesterday that one could actually just show up a week or so before to inquire about rescheduling and they'll often just take you right then without going through any formal re-scheduling.

Anybody have any experience with that? We're going to be out of town for almost a week toward the end of May, and I have that lucky feeling that our biometrics will be scheduled for one of those days.

It staes right on the biometrics appt letter how to reschedule. For alexandria VA, it was just mailing tha appt letter back to the address indicated, and checking off the box!! I wrote on the letter that i was availabale anytiem after so and so a date, was that simple. Others have stated it stated on that letter, they could just go on whatever time. Did not state that on my letter. just follow the very easy instructions, and you will be fine.

Check the Immigration Timelines to see what people have been reporting?

Andre got a letter telling him the time and date to be there for biometrics. The very next sentence said if he couldn't make it at that time, he could go any Wednesday after that date, during certain hours, up until something like 4 months after the appointed date.
