Hi guys -- I just noticed a change in procedure that popped up in my latest NOA for my 3rd AP and EAD renewal.
Unlike the first two notices which said "the next step is to schedule an appointment for biometrics -- please call etc etc", this time the notice said "we will schedule an appointment for your biometrics if needed".
Anybody else seen this change? Wondering if CIS now chosing to re-use biometrics if they're still within the 15 month range, or if they indeed are scheduling appts at their leisure.

It would be interesting to know what the difference is. I've replied on one thread where the Op is filing AOS at the same office as me and still had different instructions.
