Postpone fingerprint by 3 months

[realmcoy]

hello
I have to be in India for emergency medical reasons. However i have already received my finger print notice for 8/13/2009. I am wondering if it would pose any problems to postpone my fingerprinting date by 3 months to November 2009?

Does the interview notice come independent of the fingerprint notice or
Would the interview date still come only after the fingerprinting date?

the form doesn't allow me to request a certain date, but I am hoping to send in a letter explaining my situation and ask for a date in November 2009. Do you know of others who have been successful in having their fingerprint notice date postponed by sending in a letter?

hopefully i am only out for 3 months, so this doesn't affect my continuous residency time period


MY timeline
app date: 7/10/2009
FP notice: 7/29/2009
FP interview Date: 8/13/2009
send letter to postpone FP date to November 2009.

I'd recommend going to the ASC in your town and see if they do a walk-in appointment. Tell them that you may be out for couple of months for medical reasons. If they do not allow that you can call in and reschedule maybe.
Good luck

I am already out of the country

Unfortunately I am already out of the country and hence can't do a walk-in. I had to leave even before I received the application receipt. Now that I am out of the country I was wondering what the implications are with postponing fingerprint. the application form only mentions that the interview date shouldn't be rescheduled, but it doesn't mention any repercussions due to rescheduling the fingerprinting date.

has anyone rescheduled fingerprinting date and what were the repercussions?
