Having Biometrics Taken

Hi everyone, I have to travel outside the states and I am filing for I-485 and I doubt it that USCIS would set an appointment for me before my intended date of travel! I also can not afford to reschedule it as I have to avoid anything that would delay my I-485 processing time. So here are my questions:

1- Is it possible to go to your assigned USCIS application support center to have your biometrics taken, earlier than the time and date specified? In other words, if my appointment is for August 14th for example and I show up on August 6th and just ask them nicely to have my biometrics taken that day (wait as much as needed at the end of the line), would they do it? Has anyone ever had a similar experience? I just want to try it.

2- Is it possible to ask USCIS to send the receipt notice and the finger print notice quicker and set an appointment up at an application support center for biometrics before a certain date (not asking to expedite I-485 process itself)? If so, what should i include in my I-485 application? what should I write them?

Any input is appreciated!
 
Yes many ppl have done that. Just go during middle of the week..maybe after 2pm or on a saturday. Ask nicely and it will get done.
 
A couple of more questions:

1- How long after USCIS receives the I-485 package would I have the Receipt Notice and the Notice for Biometrics?

2- Is it possible to ask USCIS to send these two notices faster? How should I do it? What kind of request should I include in my I-485 filing and what documents? What should the context of the request include?

Thanks a lot guys.
 
1- from my friends' experiences, 2- 4 weeks

2- I think they will not respond for such request.
