Anyone on here done the Biometrics appointment yet?

Hello,

Do you know if it is OK for me to go with my wife to her biometrics appointment? On the appointment notice it says "Due to limited seating availability in our lobby area , only persons who are necessary to assist with transportation or completing the biometrics worksheet should accompany you". I want to be there to make sure everything gets filled out correctly, since my wife's English is good but not 100%.

Another question, is this when she will get the stamp in her passport that grants her travel during the approval process?

You can go but you will not be allowed past the waiting area.... In our ASC office all the paperwork was prepared in the waiting area and then when complete they went into the "biometrics" area.

ASC offices do not stamp passports... Your NOA1 (I-797) serves as you extention and therefore your permission to travel.

Well, that gives me a nice "foot-in-door"--due to necessity of providing transport.

Not sure which office you are going to but in Atlanta you are asked/told to wait outside. There is NO going in the building. My wife walked out with the paperwork and I helped her fill it out. I think we were the only ones there as the waiting area was empty but still we were told to wait outside. Everyone else was treated the same way. Not a big deal as she was in and out in 15 minutes. We even went 9 days early than our scheduled appointment date. Our friends did the same thing and his wife was only allowed inside.
