Hello Guys, my wife and I are in a pretty aweful situation. I need your input pretty bad.

The situation is that;

1) My wife's temperary GC expires in mid August so we filed I751 in mid May.

2) She is deliverying our second child at her parents place in Korea in mid August.

3) We received NOA1 early June and USCIS screwed up her last name. They dropped the last letter of her name. So we called USIC for her to correct her name.

4) We planned to try Walk-In for her biometrics if we recieve the biometric appointment. We still have not recieved as of today 7/2/12.

5) Since she is so close to her due date, we couldn't wait any longer. She flew out last week. She is in Korea now and will return to States early January.

6) We recieved a letter from USCIS with the reference number for correcting her last name. On same date new I791C(?) arrived and it still has same error. I heard that you can fix that easily at the local office later on as long as A# is correct. Would this be problem when she returns?

I expect to recieve her biometric appointment letter any time soon according to the record on the forum.

OK, here is my question now.

1) How can I reschedule her biometric? Since we would get only two weeks notice, there is no time to send the letter to Korea and get it back on time. If we can use very expensive express mail, maybe we can but it is somewhat tight. Can she give me a power of attoreny letter or something so I can simply sign to reschedule the biometric for her?

2) Would a copy of her flight itenary and a pregranency letter from her doctor help them to understand our situation and let us postpone her biometric to January? or we have to keep rescheduling till she can go.

3) If we don't get the biometric letter somehow, when should she call USCIS?

We are pretty much lost what to do. Your inputs will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Your biometrics notice can arrive at any time really, two weeks is probably a little soon to expect it to turn up. How long are you planning on going overseas for?

BTW, I called USCIS and explained my situation. And also I asked if you can reschedule biometrics many times and got a kinda lame answer. They said "As long as the biometric scheduling office (I am guessing that it is a local ACS), there shouldn't be a problem". Shouldn't USCIS know about this? Well...

I will be out of country for 5~6 months. I just want to finish fingerprinting if I can before the trip. I should have about fours weeks between I-751 submit and the trip. If there is no restriction on rescheduling biometric several (or many) times, I wouldn't mind doing fingerprint after I come back. The bottom line question is. "Is there any restriction on rescheduling the biometrics?"

Thanks for your input anyway.

Hiya,

I have two questions about the biometrics. I have to travel abroad ASAP and it might be too late if I wait for the biometrics appointment date. Either I try walk-in with a biometric notice or reschedule the biometric several months.

1) How long would it take to get Biometric Notice typically? Would two weeks be sufficient after NOA?

2) I read that you can't legally delay (reschedule) the biometrics more than 90 days (from expiration date or I-751?????). Meaning you have to have Bio done within 90 days? Is it true?

Thanks for your info.

Hello,

My wife has a conditional green card that expires at 08/19 and we will file I-751 5/20 or so.

Our situation is that she should travel to Korea in May or early June and stay there the rest of year (or by Thanksgiving) to deliver a baby at her parents home. Her due is August and her doctor recommend to travel as early as possible since this is the second one.

I understand that it is the best to finish the biometrics before she travels but I am afraid that it might be too late. Walk-in can be an option but it is not guaranteed.

So I am wondering if we simply reschedule the biometrics to December or January. Should there be any issue?

Thanks for your input in advance.

PS Unfortunately USCIS doesn't do Bioemtrics at a US Embassy according to USCIS website.
