Hey guys. What phone number do we call to get to a customer service agent to get transferred to the ELIS help desk? We called the customer service number on the sites where you check the receipts and can't get a human being.

He needs a new code for his account as his suddenly stopped working.

I told him my EAD is going to expire if I wait to do biometrics on the actual appt date - and that USCIS sent me the wrong notices twice etc. and he handed my documents to his supervisor.

The supervisor asked me to reschedule. I told her I want to reschedule it to the earliest date possible. She said apparently, my appointment has already been rescheduled to 09/14/16 - but no one ever notified me. I tried to push her to reschedule me to even sooner - she told me no because that's already pretty early. The link to the appt notice on ELIS still shows the one on 10/11/2016. Interestingly, now they changed my address back to the one I filed with, but I filed an address change request on 07/31/16, which they pretty much ignored.

I am still planning to go to my InfoPass appointment tomorrow and see if they could get an earlier date for me or if they can write me some sort of letter so I can walk in earlier than my appt date - and to update my address to my current one. 3 weeks after biometrics is still pretty tight...I guess at least now it's before my EAD exp date...
What area are you in?

There is another ASC that's about 2.5 hours from me, but I will have to take a sudden PTO and not sure if it's worth it for me to go and get turned away again.

St. Paul, Minnesota - I got turned away twice here now. I am debating on whether it's worth it for me to drive to the ASC in Duluth (2.5 hours away) and try it there.

I called them a while ago and said I had to contact them through their website first.

thanks if you can help me
Call the uscis number and request to speak with help desk.. Tell them you never receive the notice to create an account and you need a code in order to do so.

Is there like an exact digit to press? When I call there's a ton of options.

one more thing, do they just give you one right on the spot or do they call you back?

thanks so much

My bio app was on 8/5/16 I forgot to go on that date so I walked in 8/8/16 with the letter I got in the mail and the security guard let me in with no problem. I was going to reschedule but that would of taken longer. Don't be afraid to take the risk and just walk in. Btw I'm from Houston I went to the SE location on 45 & Monroe

So I have an InfoPass appointment in an hour and I'm trying to be hopeful that something has changed. I went to an InfoPass appointment 20 days ago and my background check was still pending even though I did my bios on May 5th #eyeroll.

Wish me luck guys!! I hope I get a helpful person that will call the service center like last time ����

Also, finally received a response from my Ombudsman request saying they finished reviewing my request for assistance and have contacted USCIS regarding my case.

Praying for a fast and actual response other than the same generic crap.
