The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has recently launched a groundbreaking self-service tool that has transformed the way individuals can reschedule their biometric services appointments. This tool, available through your USCIS online account, eliminates the need to make a phone call to the USCIS Contact Center, making the process more convenient than ever before.
At the Law Offices of Sabrina Li, we are thrilled about this revolutionary tool because it empowers us to provide even better service to our clients by simplifying the biometric appointment rescheduling process. This marks a significant step toward enhancing customer service and improving the overall immigration experience.
One of the most remarkable features of this tool is that it allows you to reschedule most appointments with ease. While the option to call the USCIS Contact Center for rescheduling still exists, we strongly recommend taking advantage of the online tool. Here's why:
In addition to the new rescheduling tool, USCIS has issued guidance in the USCIS Policy Manual that addresses various aspects of appointment rescheduling. This guidance considers untimely requests, the consequences of not appearing, and evaluates timely requests made for "good cause." Examples of "good cause" include illness, planned travel, significant life events, transportation difficulties, employment or caregiver responsibilities, and late or undelivered appointment notices.
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to use the USCIS online rescheduling tool:
Indicate the reason for rescheduling your appointment.
Provide your information, which can be found in your appointment notice.
Choose whether you want to reschedule at the same location or select another location.
Select an available date and time that suits you.
Confirm all the information is correct before finalizing your reschedule request.
Please note that once you've successfully reschedule your appointment, you will receive an update via email or SMS message when the updated notice is available. You can also check the status of your notice in the "Submitted Requests" section. Your new appointment notice should arrive within 1-2 business days, and it's crucial to bring this notice to your appointment.
