Rescheduled biometrics but new I-797C not available yet — 8am appointment on Monday. What should I do?
Hi everyone, I’m kind of panicking and would really appreciate advice.
My original biometrics appointment was scheduled for March 2nd, but I rescheduled it online through myUSCIS to Monday, February 23rd at 8:00 AM.
I just realized that I’ll probably need the new I-797C notice with the updated barcode to be admitted to the ASC. The problem is I just submitted the reschedule request, and I’m worried the new notice won’t be available in my USCIS account by Monday morning (since it hasn’t updated yet and it’s basically one business day).
Now I’m scared I messed things up.
Has anyone been in this situation before?
• If I show up at 8:00 AM with the old notice (old barcode), will they deny me entry?
• Should I try to reschedule again online?
• Or should I just wait for the new notice to appear and not go to the 8 AM appointment?
For context, I rescheduled through myUSCIS (not by phone), and the request shows as submitted.
Any advice or similar experiences would really help. Thank you!
