You need to go to the local service center to make new appointment. I myself just walked in to re-schedule mine. The lady there who I believe she is a supervisor said It is ok even though you missed the biometric, but in that case your case will be delayed. USCIS customer service told me that in some centers they would let you do the fingerprint right away if you walk in (more likely to be on Wednesday which I don't understand why) So to answer your question, it is very practical to walk in and fix your appointment. Good luck.

My wife has her biometrics appt done on a wednesday and it tooks us 8 minutes from when we walked in to walking out. There wasn't anyone there.

I've read here on VJ about many people who just walked in. Go there pretending you want to reschedule and see what happens. Bring all your paperwork.

Several have reported success doing the walk-in. Can't hurt trying

does it really have to be on a wednesday?

No, but if that's their least busy day then I would assume your chances of being able to have your biometrics taken right there on the spot are much higher than if you go on a day when they are swamped.

I also missed my biometircs appt for the EXACT same reason as you. My notice got sent back to the USCIS. So what I did was I walked in EARLY on a Saturday where there was no one else there, and they did my biometrics. Took about 10 mins. Try that, and GOOD LUCK!!
