USCIS to allow rescheduling of biometric services appointments by phone.
May 14, 2021
USCIS announced that all the applicants, petitioners, requestors, and beneficiaries can now call the USCIS Contact Center to reschedule their biometric services appointments. Before, the applicants had to submit requests in writing to reschedule their biometrics appointments but this change will help eliminate undue paperwork and allows the agency to track the request through a more efficient process. Applicants must establish good cause for rescheduling and must call before the date and time of their original appointment to reschedule. If an applicant fails to call before the scheduled appointment or fails to establish good cause, USCIS may consider the application, petition, or request abandoned and, as a result, it may be denied.
