I-751 timing question

Our situation is as follows:

  • My green card expires on 4June2009
  • We live in Miami Beach but are currently abroad
  • We need to send in our I-751 application (to VSC)
  • We're trying to minimize our time in the US
After reading people's timelines we decided on the following:

  • We bought tickets so we arrive in Miami on 24May and leave Miami on 22June
  • We're sending the I-751 package so it arrives at the VSC on 7May
We basically want to make sure the biometric appointment is no earlier than 24May and no later than 22June. Can people confirm that this is a good plan? We're a little nervous about the biometric appointment being scheduled before 24May especially since we don't have someone checking our mail. Thanks for any thoughts and suggestions.
 
Some people have mentioned getting their bio done at a date earlier than whats on notice letter. Walk in kinda thing. So once u get your notice letter try that, then you can advice us if its true.
 
Cool! We will definitely try the walk in after getting the NOA - will let you all know how that works out.

The backup plan is to reschedule our flight so we leave Miami later. What makes me most nervous is getting the biometric appointment too EARLY because we wouldn't even know we missed it since we don't have someone checking our mail. We couldn't figure out a way to check biometric dates online (can someone tell us if this is possible?) and USCIS told us we couldn't call to find out either.

So I guess my main concern boils down to this: Is it possible to get a biometric appointment in less than 18 days of the VSC receiving our application?
 
I think u can get the notice letter that early.. but telling u that ur app is 30 days after your RD date. Know what i mean? I have noticed that most people get their appointment dates about a month after they mailed their forms.
