USCIS, mailing address, physical address and biometrics

Hello everyone, 

 

Thank you all for your help previously.  My spouse and I have now submitted our AOS application successfully and it was accepted by USCIS so that's good news.  Many people on Visa Journey were very helpful in making that possible.

 

Many of the forms asked for both mailing address and physical address.  I put two different addresses because we are now living in a different place from where I am a legal resident.  I guessed that USCIS would process it through our physical address, and one question on the I-485 even asked where you intend for your AOS to be processed.  (I put the physical address location).

 

Now my spouse created a USCIS account and it has a letter calling for a biometrics appointment.  But the biometrics appointment is at the location of the mailing address, not the physical address

 

So we could either 1) travel to the location of the mailing address to attend the biometrics appointment, 2) contact USCIS and ask them to re-schedule it at our current physical address.

 

However, for option 2, I am concerned that this will end up confusing USCIS or delaying our case.  It may be better, to save time, to just travel to the mailing address location to do the biometrics appointment.

 

Does anyone have any suggestion or view on this point?  Is it better to travel to the biometrics appointment or ask them to reschedule it in a different location?

 

Thanks again for all your advice and information.

Thanks for your input.  I had the feeling it might be risky to change the appointment.

 

It's a long way between the two locations, it would require flying so it's a little bit expensive.  The positive side is that after biometrics the only other trip might be when we have an interview.
