Re-entry permit timeline inquiry

I've called and talk to an INS staff today and asking her when do I have the finger print notice. After asking me some questions such as are you calling on behaft of someone? are you in military?.. blah.. blah and then she asked my NOA # to check the status of my case. My NOA date was 5/21 and I called INS today as 6/21 but she said she just can open the service request if it's over 30 days from the date of the NOA and asked me calling back in 2 days if I still dont have FP notice in mailling. I dont know what happen with my app, it's been 41 days but still no FP notice.
 
Ok I've just open the service request today. I dont know if it helps my FP notice be issued or not. So does anyone know what is the purpose of openning the service request? thanks
 
Problems with my reentry problem never ending!

CASE STATUS now saying:

On June 25, 2010, the post office returned the notice we last sent you on this case I131 APPLICATION FOR USCIS TRAVEL DOCUMENT as undeliverable. This may have serious effects on processing this case. Please call 1-800-375-5283 to update your mailing address for this notice to be re-sent.

I gave my fingerprints more than 1 month ago and on I-131 requested to have my reentry permit send overseas to embassy. What this problem could be ? Are they trying to send something on my old U.S. address ?

Did you list an old address (i.e. one where no relative or friend is staying) on the I-131 form?

Well, yes now it's an old address.

But, I received one notice, then fingerprint notice -> then attended the appointment. And what else should be delivered to that address?

Is there any other notice coming after giving the fingerprints ?

So you filed the I-131 giving them an address you knew you were leaving and nobody you know would have access to that address when you're gone? Why did you do that?

They probably sent the permit to that address. Now that it's been returned, hopefully they'll realize you requested the consulate and send it there instead.

Why should they mail re-entry permit to the U.S. address when I requested consulate abroad? Do they do that mistake often?

Couldn't it be something else?

I asked USPS to forward my correspondence to the friend's address - I don't know for what reason they didn't forward it. As I said, I called USCIS and changed address - they put service request.

USPS generally doesn't forward USCIS mails. You didn't know that?

No I didn't know that.

The lady at USCIS callcenter told me, that the case is pending and she told me she was putting a service request. What is that?

Should I now just wait or take some action?

She didn't say anything about resending the notice, that was not delivered. Now I don't know if I'm supposed to just hope and wait or do something.
 
Does anyone here have experience of rescheduling biometric appointment? Do ones need to be physically present in the US to do reschedule the appointment? Can ones make a specific date or specific time frame on reschedule form or ones have to wait for another biometric notice? If it's impossible to make specific date or time frame then how long does it take to have new biometric notice to come? can ones make re re schedule on the new biometric notice or ones just have one chance to do it? thanks a lot
 
Once you have the appointment notice, you can do the biometrics earlier than the appointment date by simply walking in on whatever day you want. However, they are not guaranteed to accept walk-ins; they decide on a day-to-day and minute-to-minute basis according to how busy they are.

If you want it rescheduled later, follow the instructions on the appointment notice and mail it in. They won't give you any specific date or time frame you request; the best they might do for you is to schedule it after a given date.

If I can touch the FP notice then it's nothing to say. The problem is I gotta leave the country in the next few days and I plan to stay abroad for about a month. Can my family member mark the reschedule option on the FP notice and send it back to USCIS or i have to do it by myself with my signature on that? thanks
