my ASC appointment messed up

[fPf_iMc 1]

I had mixed emotions today. My husband called me and said that I have the bio appointment letter already and I am scheduled on March 18! Yey for now! But they overlooked on the change of address I made. To make the story short, last Feb 26 I made a change of address online for both my 3 applications. And just to be sure that all changes have been updated, I called the USCIS customer rep and confirmed it. After 2 days, I got 3 notifications from USCIS regarding the changes made and they mailed it to my NEW address.

However, my biomterics appointment letter which was dated March 3 was still mailed to my old address and they want me to go to my old state which is Florida and have the biometrics done at the local office there. I am in Texas now, and my husband will follow next week.

So I called the rep this morning and she said she cannot do anything about it since I am already scheduled to appear in that office. If I fail to be there, my application will be deemed abandoned. (are they kidding me?!) She said, I should write a letter addressed to that local office in FL and ask them to reschedule my biometrics. I asked for an office number so I can talk to someone and help me with it, but shesaid they do not entertain those concerns over the phone and that I should write the letter myself.

I was so frustrated! Just when I thought everything is in place, the people handling my application messed up and now they want me to fix the mistake they did!

Anyway, my hubby got an infopass for tomorrow and will be requesting for a reschedule. I hope we can still have the same appointment date though. And to my surprise tonight, I opened my email and got a letter from USCIS stating that my I-485 applicationa has been transferred to CSC already.

Do you think this issue will cause any delay or problem with my application? I am getting a little sad here....

The good news is that your application was transferred to CSC which means you will most likely be approved without an interview. It sounds to me that your change of address and biometrics appointments did the proverbial 'crossed in the mail' (yes, I know they didn't actually cross in the mail but the effect is the same). You could also make an infopass at your local USCIS in Texas, take in the biometrics letter and the acknowledgement receipts of the changes of address, and ask if they can reschedule your biometrics at your local ASC for you and cancel the other, since it is obvious that the biometrics letter came out after the change of address went through. Your husband may be able to effect the cancellation at the office in Florida or he may not as he is not the one scheduled for the biometrics - it may need to be you doing the requesting.

Don't worry about not getting helpful advice from the 1-800 number - take anything they say with a huge grain of salt as the people answering the phones are not immigration workers but call center employees reading off of scripts. Their scripts do not address all of the situations they encounter and you could call 4 times for the same issue and get a different response each time. The infopass appointments are a lot more effective.
