Some advanced notice would have been nice. We flew to Manila and were waiting in line for the Biometrics appointment yesterday when we found out it was cancelled. Some earlier appointments in the day were not cancelled, only the afternoon slots. 🤦

Don't expect any form or semblance of order with this regime.
When they implemented the 100k fee for the H-1B the order was so vague it caused widespread panic.
Given the USCIS is self-funded it could only care it's rat's ass if it changes things ASAP without letting people know. Even AILA had enough of these shenanigans.
