biometrics appointment rescheduling
hi all
I recently got my biometrics letter in the mail on Friday (9th) and it is scheduled for the 20th July already.
I am 39 weeks pregnant and my due date is the 16th July. I can essentially give birth at any minute. I am so stuck whether I should try to reschedule but I am afraid if I reschedule that the reschedule date would be way out into the future.
Also since the biometrics date is in 10 days, would they even let me reschedule last minute. I am in such a huge dilemma
I have been waiting over 10 months for my EAD and with this baby coming I really need to get back to work and rescheduling I think would push everything back
Any advice ?

you can go to application support center ahead of your schedule date and you can ask them to take your biometrics. Most of them accept walk ins if you have legit reason. I highly advice you do not reschedule it.

I would love to do that but the notice says they don’t accept walk ins. should I still give it a try you think?
Edy AJul 11, 2021
yes take all your medical follow up document with you that shows you are due to give birth in any minute. This application centers are third party ( outsources by USCIS) , and it is a business for them too.

thank you!! I’ll give it a try this week!
Edy AJul 11, 2021
Good luck!

they never reject Walk ins as long as you have your appointment letter. give a try this coming week with all documents to prove you won't be able to make on the fixed date. good luck
Alexa de GannesJul 11, 2021
even if my appointment is scheduled for a week after the potential walk in? thank you! I will absolutely give it a try this week!
Alexa de GannesJul 11, 2021
do you guys think it’s better to go as they open or closer to when they close ?
david johnJul 11, 2021
alexa give it a try. I did walkin 2weeks before my scheduled date and I was let in even though I wasn’t let in at first but I was adamant. you have a very good reason and anybody that doesn’t let you in is very wicked
Alexa de GannesJul 11, 2021
@david john thanks so much! I’m definitely going to cross my fingers and give it a try this week
Alexa de GannesJul 12, 2021
Heading to the office now to see if I can do a walk on. wish me luck everyone!
that guyJul 12, 2021
good luck. keep us updated
Alexa de GannesJul 12, 2021
got through 😊😊 God is great
that guyJul 12, 2021
did they ask you anything? like why you showed up early? or any additional info?
congrats!!
Alexa de GannesJul 12, 2021
nope. before they can ask anything I just said I’m probably going to be stuck in the hospital giving birth during my scheduled appointment and the lady at the door said she will talk to her supervisor. Supervisor just said come on in
Edy AJul 12, 2021
good news !!
that guyJul 24, 2021
hey @Alexa!! I just got my bio scheduled. praise be to God. I am also going to try to go early before my scheduled appointment. I don't really have a valid reason but I want to give it a try. around what time did you go in?
