rescheduling of biometrics

[cardamom 0]

Hi all,

I received my biometrics appt NOA just after I'd left LA on work (now in ATL and then out of the country for a week). Unfortunately, given the economy and that I'm a consultant I felt I had to take this job.

Anyway, as soon as the hubby got the biometrics NOA he sent it back requesting rescheduling along with a letter I drafted from afar. Thank god for email! We even have a mailing receipt to show when and where we sent the request for rescheduling.

My original appt (the one I cannot make) is for tomorrow. According to the online system this morning, the appt is still ON!

I spoke to a USCIS customer service and they had the same to tell me. Basically, while very nice, they said I wouldn't hear back until I'm rescheduled which could take months. sigh.

What I DO NOT WANT is that my case is considered abandoned - I've followed all the prescribed steps to ensure that, but if anyone has useful post request tips (and please don't say I should have just waited for the biometrics, I'd have really LIKED not to need the $$) to ensure that my case is not considered abandoned and/or to get my case back on track once I'm back in LA (shortly).

Should I make an infopass appt to see all is good? Should I take the copy of the request for rescheduling and just visit my processing center? Any stories about your own experience would be helpful too!

Not panicking - yet:-) There's just too much else to balance these days to really have USCIS bothering me as much as they used to (Green card, permanent res etc).

Thanks all!

Maybe you can still try to make it when you come back in the country. Some places will let you have it done even if you a couple weeks late.

Thanks Mama Mia! I probably will try that and take copies of my rescheduling paperwork just in case!
