Rescheduling Biometric Appointment

[Chica 0]

Hi everybody!

I could not find a similar topic and decided to post a new one. Me and my husband are going to Belarus for 4 weeks this summer (May-June). My GC expires on July 26, 2012 and I don't want to travel during July or after, even though many people say it is okay. I am pretty sure that my biometrics will be scheduled during the time we will be away (unless a miracle happens ). If I won't be able to attend, will USDHS automatically reschedule and send me the next appointment or do I have to file some form or call them?

Thank you! Happy Holidays

No, they won't do anything automatically. You have to apply for rescheduling yourself. On my bio letter there was a line about it, if I remember correctly, and you have to drop the letter off at your local biometrics location (Phoenix for me). Unfortunately I don't remember any details, I simply didn't care.

If you get a bio letter before the trip, you may try to walk in with it and ask them to get your fingerprints done earlier.

Oh thank you so much! I did early walk-in when I was getting my temporary GC. Hopefully this time they will take me as well.
