AOS Interview a day early?

[sjwmsr 0]

Hi,

My wife and I have an AOS interview coming up this week. We originally had travel plans that were made quite a long time ago (bad luck) and were wondering if anyone has tried showing up a day or two early for the interview? I heard you can do it for biometrics.

Thanks!

Sorry about the bad luck with the timing of your interview...

Yes its true some places will allow you to do biometrics early/unscheduled- but the interview??? Um Im going to say (and I have no sources for this) but a big fat not a chance.

Interviews take a significant amount of time, they prepare beforehand reviewing your documents. Its not something you can just show up unannounced for.

What you can do is go to the local office via infopass and see what they can do for you. If they have open slots they may change your appointment right then and there, they may not. They can also cancel your appt and put you back in the queue where you will wait for a slot to open. It can take days-weeks-months for a new slot to open. You can also try to change the appt over the phone but from memory people that use the phone system for that are just cancelled and put back in queue to be rescheduled (they dont instantly change it)

You have to decide if you value your trip more then getting finished with USCIS.

hi

as said, nope for a day early, they have your case file set aside on the day of your appointment, so you reschedule or go at the day and time of your appointment, go earlier,

the only options you have or change your travel plans or reschedule your interview, that's all you can do

biometrics are different, because you show up with your letter and ID and anyone can take your fingerprints

but the case file is only separated or set aside for the officer to have for those who have their appointment that day

No.

No. I would either reschedule the interview which can mean you have to wait months, or reschedule your trip.

No, you can't go sooner, best thing to do is change your traveling plans
