One thing to remember, a biometrics procedure needs to be completed at a local USCIS Office before sending in the visa packet. The appointment can be made while doing the electronic visa application. They, the Consulate, does offer an expedited process for an extra fee.
we leave on the 23rd so trying to see if its feasible w/o expedited process.
how long did it take you to schedule a biometrics appointment? i know it will depend on local office here so from what i understand, i send in the app electronically , make a biometrics appointment, go to appointment and then send visa packet correct?
this week since its Thanksgiving i can submit the app online and schedule the biometrics ..i guess i can see when is the earliest time before deciding on proceeding or not.
