A friend of mine has also received FP request even though he only filed I-485 last January or something,because of his work situation he will be unable to make the Thursday appointment that has been allocated.
Anybody here has any experience with a rescheduling a Fingerprint request? ...

Regards,

You are supposed to call the 800 national customer service number and explain the situation. The service rep will then pass along the rescheduling request to the appropriate CIS office, in this case NSC. Then it is up to NSC to respond.

By now you have enough experience with this agency to realize that there is ample room for things to go wrong. So bear this in mind before asking for a new appointment.
 
just a suggestion:
your friend can also try to show up earlier than the scheduled appt (that's what i did, i went to the fp agency 1 week early since the original fp date was at the same time as the exam i had to take) and try to explain his situation. it helps to go early (i.e. even before then they open and wait in line a bit) and to bring some sort of proof of why he can't show up at the scheduled time.
however i did all this last year, maybe the rules have changed...
good luck
