Aelana,
I gave told him that I have planned a vacation around the same time (which was true) and I will have to reschedule my vacation if the FP was not done today. So he told me to reschedule FP if I could not reschedule my vacation. Basically he did not want me to do early FP no matter what. There were hardly two or three people there for FP at that time for FP! I just took all my papers back decided to go on the date on the notice. The office is only a couple of miles from my office so I don't have a big problem going there again. However, if you are travelling a long distance, I would recommend not to waste you time trying for early FP.
Thanks and good luck!
