Couldn't make it to biometrics appointment. Asked for rescheduling. Nothing happened since.

Hi,

 

I couldn't make it to the original date of my N400 biometrics since I was going on vacation.

As soon as I received the notice in mail, I replied to it stating I'll be away on that week and asked for it to be rescheduled.

 

It's been nearly a month now and I haven't heard back at all.

I'm starting to worry, what if my mail got lost??  Is it normal for them to take so long to reschedule the biometrics? 

 

Thank you all!

That's not always possible to do. I received the notice on a Friday just before I left for my trip on the following Monday, not much I can do on a weekend other than sending the reply back that I can't make it. 

 

the online system still shows up as "we scheduled your biometrics appointment" with the old notice date.

From what I have read, It could take them several weeks to reschedule and mail the new date to you. 
 

In your shoes, I would probably either:
1) give USCIS a call and see if they have an update
or
2) If you have a copy of your biometrics notice, do a walk-in and explain why you missed/couldn't attend the assigned appointment.
 

Please note that this isn't legal advice... just what I'd do. Good Luck!

Call, make an infopass apt. USCIS takes their sweet ### time when it comes to rescheduling. Good luck!!!

Thanks. I will call them today.  I sent a message through the online system too.

 

Unfortunately to ask for rescheduling, you have to send back the original notice, so I can't even walk in and get it done now without the doc. 

It's really my bad luck that it HAD TO arrive right before my trip
