Service has been suspended since Mar 29th. It looks like all the new applicants are allowed to reserve appointment with USCIS for biometrics (see: Steps after appointment booking from USA for UK visa, vfs global registration confusion?)
Did anyone successfully finish biometric process at USCIS post Mar 29th? Sometimes the website does not get updated, leaving people in the dark.
This information will help the affected people to plan.
I too went for an appointment at the USCIS Applicaiton Support Center yesterday (8th April). Right at the reception I was told that for UK visa bio-metrics, the service is suspended and I should keep checking the website 'news' section for updates.
I went for the appointment to a USCIS center yesterday. They basically told me that services were suspended for non-payment. So I came back home and found this and other thread on google. You can still book an appointment but you cannot get biometrics done. I called the paid no. In the UK as well and they said to keep monitoring the VFA global site for updates.
This service resumed on the 17th April and is no longer considered an issue. VFS has even deleted the news from its web site.
