USCIS Status: “Understanding Your Rescheduled Biometrics Appointment with USCIS”
Your biometric appointment has been rescheduled, and you'll receive a new appointment notice in the mail within 2-4 weeks.
What does this status mean?
A rescheduled biometric appointment means your original appointment was cancelled due to operational issues or other unforeseen circumstances. This change does not affect the overall processing time of your case. USCIS will send a new appointment notice with a scheduled date and time for you to attend a biometrics screening at a different location.
