What it means for your I-131

USCIS shows you missed the I-131 biometrics appointment. For a reentry permit or refugee travel document this can lead to denial. Ask to reschedule right away through your USCIS account or the Contact Center, and keep proof if you had a good reason to miss it.

In general, on any form:

USCIS recorded that you did not attend a scheduled in-person appointment, such as an interview or biometrics. Missing a required appointment can lead to denial for abandonment. If you had a good reason or never got the notice, act quickly. The deadline to respond can be short.

Avoid these mistakes

Waiting to see what happens instead of acting.
Not keeping proof of the reason for missing the appointment.
