Biometrics Appointment Brooklyn (NYC)

[jess290681 0]

Has anyone had their biometrics taken in Brooklyn recently? The last time I went (2 years ago) I waited about 2.5 hours to be seen and it took less than 10 minutes for it to be done.

Is the wait really bad still? I have to go with my baby and I just want to know exactly what we're in for tomorrow.

A friend of mine went last year and said that by the time she arrived for her scheduled morning appointment the line was 3 blocks long!!!

Thank you in advance.

Hi everyone

so, I had my biometric appointment today at 10am in the Brooklyn Center and surprisingly it was quite painless.

I arrived early (having heard about lengthy lines to get into the building) but security would not allow anyone into the building earlier than their appointment time. The office opens at 8am, I got there about 9:15am and waited with about 15-20 other people.

At about 9:40am security started letting in those with 10am appointments. They check your appointment letter and ID at the door then give you a simple form to fill in (the same one from the first time I went). Once the form is complete, security look it over then send you to another line where someone checks and stamps your form and letter, gives you a number and sends you to sit in the first waiting room for your number to be called.

They call between 5 and 10 numbers at a time, you have to line up, show your numbers and be sent to another waiting area where you wait to be called by the person who takes your prints and photo. After prints and photo are done, you sign on the machine and your appointment letter is signed and that's that!

It was really very fast, the whole place was much more organized than I remember it and the employees were so polite and efficient.

Thought I'd just share with anyone who might be going to the same Center. My appointment was for 10am, I was let into the building at 9:40am and I walked out the door at 10:23am.

Good luck everyone else.
