USCIS Self-Service Biometrics Appointment Rescheduling Tool

Now you don't need to call USCIS contact center to reschedule most biometrics appointments. USCIS has launched a new self-service biometrics appointment rescheduling tool to streamline their immigration services. This is available to be used for both paper=filed and online-filed benefit requests. 

How do I use USCIS Self-Service Biometrics Appointment Rescheduling Tool?

Simply follow these steps:

• Create a USCIS online account if you don't have one yet here: https://myaccount.uscis.gov/
• Make sure your biometrics appointment date has not passed - you can't use this tool to reschedule the appointment that you missed already. 
• Make sure you have acceptable reasons for rescheduling. Here are a few examples:
• Medical reasons - illness, medical appointment, hospitalization
• Previously planned travel
• Significant life events - wedding, funeral, graduation
• Inability to obtain transportation to the appointment
• Inability to obtain leave from employment or caregiver responsibilities
• late delivered or undelivered biometric services appointment notice. 
• Select Biometrics Rescheduling Option and follow the prompts to fill out everything
• Print the new appointment notice and bring it to your appointment.

What if I missed my appointment already? 

There are some special circumstances where you still need to call USCIS Contact Center such as your request is within 12 hours of scheduled appointment, you have rescheduled the same appointment twice already, or if you have missed the appointment already.
