Can I get my biometrics appointment in advance???

[jmn1012 25]

Hi,

As the title states is there a way to get this information ahead of the letter coming in the mail or a way to book an appointment (guessing the later is no or everyone would do that!)?

My reason for asking is that myself and two children have just received (22nd Nov 2019) our NOA's for our AOS from L-1/2's in the mail.

Children are currently visiting their mother in the UK for a while, hoping to spend the December holidays there, so I am trying to book their return flights for the biometrics. Of course the closer it gets to the date, the more expensive it will get and harder to find flights.

 

Any idea?

Thanks

The short answer is no. You just have to wait.

Do you have the date for the appointment with the letter already?

If so you can try to walk in. It is 50/50 depends on the location for fingerprints walk in.

If you dont have the letter yet there is nothing you can do sorry

I do not have the date yet so guess I will wait.

Getting the kids back from the UK for a few days will be a huge cost and I travel a lot for work, so just trying to plan as not sure how far out the appointment date will be from receiving the appointment letter.

Can you change the appointment time to a later date, once you get the appointment date that is?

you generally have a couple of weeks before the appointment date is scheduled.

 

I do believe you can change it if needed.
