Please help me. I am very worried. I had my N-400 Finger printing appointment for me on 04/08/2011 at 3.00 PM. My spouse has a finger printing appointment for N-400 application on 04/11/2011 at 9.00 AM. I was very sick on 04/08/2011 and I was unable to go to the finger printing appointment. I was all along planning to go but because I fell sick, failed to go there. What should I do? It says my application will be considered abandoned if I do not reschedule and fail to attend the finger printing appointment.

I am sure there are lot of immigration experts here in the forum. Could you please help me ASAP. I would really appreciate a response ASAP. I am very worried. Not sure what to do and clueless.
 
It says my application will be considered abandoned if I do not reschedule and fail to attend ...

... Don't worry. Abandonment is usually an extreme if you did not take further steps to get this file back on track. People miss appointments, that's life.
#1. Try to go with your wife and get FPed. Many a times they will let you in.
#2. If they do not, call / visit CIS to do a re-schedule. Of course, you being sick can not be predicted and CIS has / will have processes to take care of such reschedules. You can even send them a letter ... the FP letter usually has directions, but talking to someone on phone / in person will ensure this happens fast.
 
Thanks. Anybody else has similar experience. Please advise and provide guidance. Should I schedule an Infopass appointment to request rescheduling of appointment if they do not take me in on Monday.
 
Relax! I think you are overthinking this, just walk in with your wife and chances are that they will just let you do it right then.

Many people do not keep the appointment and walk in much earlier than their appt day. I did mine FP almost 3 weeks prior the appointment.

Try a walk-in before attempting to Infopass or reschedule to avoid further delays.

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

I missed my finger printing for GC. I had my baby around the appointment date, never re-scheduled that. and went to ASC almost after 20 days, they took the finger printing and everything was fine. I hope this helps.
 
Thanks for your reply folks. I am going to go to the ASC office tomorrow along with my spouse who has FP appointment at 9 AM on 04/11. This is exactly the next business day from my appointment. Mine was on Friday at 3 PM (the ASC closes at 4) and hers at 9 AM. Praying and hoping that it goes without any issues. Keeping fingers crossed. Will post in the forum what happened. Please pray for me folks.
 
Your FP letter should have instructions as what to do if you miss the appointment. For example, walk in on Wednesday following missed appointment.
 
Went to Naperville ASC today. They took me in. They asked me to wait for some time and then took the biometrics. A big relief. Thanks for all the folks in this forum who provided me the needed guidance. A big relief.
