If my wife and I are in the middle of the AOS process and received a biometrics appointment, how many times can we re-schedule it?
We have completed 90% of the process but I received a biometrics notice(for me the petitioner, AWA). I have rescheduled the appointment twice (sent in notice and checked off the box to reschedule) in order to give us time to retain competent counsel to assist us. Are there any consequences for rescheduling (3-5 times) that I need to be aware of (besides delay in processing)? My wife and I filed AOS about 3 months ago.

You can reschedule it as much as you may need but there is really no need to delay it even if you don't have counsel. The biometrics appointment is only for you to go in to be photographed and fingerprinted so that the necessarily security clearance checks can be performed.
