Distinguish a USCIS service appointment from biometrics rescheduling Immigration Oregon preparation and procedure guide Source review: 2026-10-18 Scope: Shared Oregon or applicable federal procedure; confirm local requirements Official appointment landing page distinguishes selected U.S. document-service requests, international offices and limited asylum scheduling. Who this route is for People reviewing the named federal agency service; the agency determines case-specific access, authority and applicability. Timing and notices Follow the actual appointment notice and current service-specific timing. Biometrics rescheduling has advance/good-cause restrictions and near-appointment exceptions; no appointment is scheduled by this catalog. Prepare (conditional documents may have alternatives) [ ] Existing appointment notice or document-service concern [ ] Relevant receipt and case notice [ ] Reason a service cannot be completed remotely [ ] Interpreter/disability access needs and any rescheduling reason How to proceed 1. Identify whether the task is a new document-service appointment or changing an already scheduled biometrics appointment. 2. For a service appointment, use the official request page or Contact Center and wait for confirmation. 3. For biometrics, read the current online-account rescheduling and good-cause rules before the scheduled time; contact USCIS when online rescheduling is unavailable. 4. Keep the confirmation and follow the current notice, location, entry and access instructions. Open official instructions: https://my.uscis.gov/en/appointment/v2 Limits: Official source navigation reviewed on 2026-10-18. Confirm current agency jurisdiction, program-specific restrictions, accepted edition, fees, secure submission route and actual notice dates. No personal filing route, deadline, eligibility, status, travel permission or filing-readiness determination is made. An appointment request is not confirmation, a benefit application or travel authorization. The landing page has older footer/OMB information; current Contact Center links support the route, but current booking acceptance and availability were not exercised. Arlington-only asylum scheduling language is not generalized to Oregon.

It does not submit filings, calculate personal deadlines, decide eligibility or replace professional review. A complaint or help request does not pause another case or deadline. Start here Identify whether the task is a new document-service appointment or changing an already scheduled biometrics appointment. Where and how to submit Use the specific service channel. Biometrics requests generally go through the USCIS account; within 12 hours, after a missed appointment, or after repeated rescheduling, the current guidance directs Contact Center help. https://my.uscis.gov/en/appointment/v2 What will it cost? The appointment landing page says USCIS appointments are free. Underlying application/document charges and travel expenses are separate. After submission Retain the confirmation/new notice and verify what changed. A request alone is not proof the original appointment was cancelled or replaced. Corrections, denials and appeals Missing biometrics without a timely good-cause request can result in abandonment/denial. Do not attend a different ASC expecting service without an accepted reschedule. Language, disability and offline help Ask for disability accommodation promptly. Interpreter arrangements differ by appointment type: the service-appointment landing page and biometrics guidance give different instructions; confirm the actual notice.
