FP Appointment Date Missed

[shyam_p]

Hi Guys,

I thought I should share my FP story:

I recently moved to a different place within the city and notified everyone on earth about my move. My lawyer recieved FP notice and , in a major goof-up, posted it to my old address. By the time I recieved date has already passed. My FP data was supposed to be on Feb 6th and I recieved notice from my lawyer on Feb 11th. Ironically, my wife's notice was lost.

I asked my attorney to fax me a copy of my wife's notice and went to Application Support Center. I explained them the whole story. They directly asked me to go for fingerprinting. However, in my wife's case they took sometime and verified her information and finally asked her to get fingerprint done too.

So guys out there who missed thier FP date, DO NOT WORRY. It seems there's an unofficial grace peried of 3 months.

looks like you are right. Here is my info.

My FP1 were completed on Jan 2005 and then FP2 on 08/2005. Last week(12/2005) I missed my FP3(code1) . Next day I went to Local INS office and enquired. They took my fingerprints.I asked local INS employee whether I need to inform INS toll free. They told me that it is not necessary as this appointment is valid for another 84 days. Am not seeing my status update on USCIS website. Should I wait and see. Or Do I need to call INS?
