......
(f) Deny cases for abandonment where an applicant fails to appear for biometrics collection and has not otherwise advised USCIS of a change of address or requested that the biometric appointment be rescheduled within 87 days of the date that he/she was scheduled to appear for biometrics collection. File Maintenance must check all remaining files for evidence of receipt of a processed FD-258, a change of address, or request for rescheduling, once 87 days have passed since the biometric appointment date. If no such evidence is found, route the file for issuance of a denial notice.
