If the ASC serving your new location has huge backlogs compared to the former one, then yes there could be delays in the biometrics.

Thanks!! But I will not be placed at the end of the queue?

Getting your biometrics done quickly doesn't speed up the application.   As long as your biometrics are complete by the time the application gets to an adjudicator's desk, you are fine.  Precovid, biometrics was taking about 30 to 45 days after submission.   My wife's biometrics was at 120 days.  It had zero impact her applications as they completed right on schedule with others with similar timelines

Thanks for the details! 

My worry is that I may have my EAD approved before the biometric appointment, which will delay the issue of EAD card. I have seen many people said that their EAD got approved but didn't get the card because the biometric hasn't done. The EAD process will not be impacted by the address change, but I worry that  biometric will.

Your address change does not move your position in the queue.

Thanks for your reply! That's very good to hear.

I still feel nervous, though, because the system isn't very transparent - do you happen to have any detail regarding how it works or how others have experienced this? I have seen many people talking about the impact of moving on interview, but not biometric. Any additional info would help me feel more at ease. 

Thanks!!!

Hello everyone -

I filed my AOS in June and received the notice on June 18.  We're considering moving soon and likely out of state, but I worry that it will delay my biometric appointment. Should I worry about it? Would I be placed behind all the people who file before I change my address? If so, there will be a few-month delay. I really want to avoid such delay cause I need to have EAD on time for my internship.

Thank you 

I filed my AOS in June and received the notice on June 18. Our lease is up and we're considering moving out of state but I worry that it will delay my biometric appointment. Should I worry about it? If I move to an area belongs to a different office, would I be placed behind all the people filed before I change my address? If so, there will be a few-month delay. I really want to avoid such delay cause I need to have EAD on time for my internship.

Thank you
