Has anyone else heard about it? I just don't want to go back to immigration tomorrow if this is not accurate.

Please let me know


Thanks

She called the manager and I told the her that my card expires in 6 days, and I still didn't get my notice in the mail. She told me to sit down and wait. 5 minutes later she calls me and gives me my biometrics appointment notice and says "They scheduled you for 10/24/17 but come in today around 1PM and I will process you.

I will go there at 1PM and let you guys know what happens.

I told her that I didn't even know I could do that.
She then explained to me that being that I submitted my application within the 120 days period, I was legible for an extension.
So I am trying to schedule another appointment at immigration tomorrow again as request the extension.

Has anyone else heard about this before?

Please advise

Thanks!!
