Rules for Rescheduling Biometrics Appointments for Reentry Permit Applications
June 18th, 2009 | Category: News
Our firm has developed an unique expertise in processing expedited reentry permit and travel document applications. Such applications are processed by the Nebraska Service Center (”NSC”) and in our experience, if the expedited processing request is granted, the biometric appointment may be scheduled in as little as 10-14 days. However, even with these expedited processing timelines, sometimes the biometrics appointments may need to be rescheduled.
NSC has revised the rules for requesting rescheduling of biometrics. NSC has indicated that they will deny all applications where the applicant’s biometrics/fingerprinting have not been accomplished within the first 120 days of filing. Applicants must appear for biometrics by their appointment date or request rescheduling prior to their appointment date. The request for rescheduling must be accompanied by a reasonable excuse for failure to appear for the routinely scheduled biometrics appointment.
30-Days Permitted. When making rescheduling requests, it is important to know that the application support centers (”ACS”) cannot reschedule the dates for more than 30 days and are instructed to provide applicants with a reschedule date within the 30-day time frame from the time of the reschedule request. A rescheduling request seeking appointment for more than 30 days into the future will receive only up to 30 days.
Denials for Failure to Reschedule or Attend Within 120 Days. Applicants who go overseas after filing the reentry permit/travel document application without completing the biometrics appointment and who do not timely file a request for their biometrics to be rescheduled will likely face a denial. Also, NSC has advised that applicants should follow-up on their reschedule request to ensure that they are actually rescheduled. Additionally, NSC has indicated that applicants who ask for rescheduling several times (which is ok) but never complete the biometrics within 120 days of the initial I-131 filing date will face a denial.
