Hey guys, just got the biometrics letter from IRCC. I am looking to book an appointment at USCIS Seattle ASC but seems like no appointments available. Am I the only one facing this issue?
1. How far ahead does this let us schedule?
2. When is the usual time slot when appointments become available?

It did not mention specific NY or LA. It asked me to check the nearest location by providing link to ircc website. I'm in East coast and I sent email to NY office

@baa_at I did. I called the customer care. It was a wait of 90 minutes after which she said that she won't be able to provide any sort of contact information for the office (even email). All she did was point to the canada immigration website. So, was wondering if people knew if Seattle ASC is closed or if dates will open up.

People from India those waiting for sending the Passport to stamping see below -

IRCC is now sending courier instructions to clients who previously received a passport request letter. If you receive this letter via email, follow the instructions to submit the letter with your valid passport. Do not submit your passport without this letter. If you submit your passport without a genuine courier instruction letter, which has a unique client code, your passport will not be processed and will be returned to you at your own expense. VACs remain closed for the health and safety of clients and staff. This 2-way courier service is the first step towards resuming some VAC services in India. More details to come as we monitor the situation.
