Hey, I received my biometrics letter this week and I'm scheduled for April 15th (a Tuesday, at 9am). Since I have to work, this is not very convenient. Does anybody know if this particular office (USCIS Norridge, IL) will take walk-in appointments (particularly on Saturdays)? Thanks!

I would call up the local office where you have the biometrics scheduled, and ask their working hours. Then walk in when it is convenient for you (several VJ members had their appointments on Saturday, so it seems a number of offices are open then too). Judging from other reports from many VJ members, they usually happily do the bio whenever you walk in! Good luck! :thumbs:
