BIOMETRICS APPOINTMENT

[ben2 0]

Hi

Just wanted to know if the appointments at the Brooklyn, NY Livingston St. location are time specific, or you can come at opening?

One of the people I know had appointment for 1pm, they came on time and the line was so huge, they waited till 4pm which is the closing time and didn't make it, and had to be rescheduled for the next day.

Did anyone have any experience coming early (on the same date)? Were you successful or were told to wait till the appointment time? We have an appointment for 12pm and want to come for the opening at 8am so that won't have to take too much time off work.

Thank you for your time.

Good Question

I have mine in Soho next week at 3pm, but since you mentioned that line I'll try to go in for 1pm.

I don't see why you can't, some people here went DAYS early.

The answer depends on the office... and maybe the "mood" of the office on that day. When I was there the guard "chewed out" royally someone who tried to come in early (days however not hours).

I doubt anyone will be angry at you for coming in earlier (on the same day) - I think several people try and go in the morning so that they can still work for most of the day - not a big deal. Good Luck

Its always better to reach the place about 2-3 hrs ahead of your appointment..

Can you please share your experience of biometrics in Brooklyn please. I have mine there next week at 3 pm and would like to go early in the morning, because I heard they close at 4pm. Do you think it is possible to get in there couple of days earlier? Thank you

In Chula Vista (san diego) they won't let you in the building until 15 minutes before your appointment. In Seattle, the guards don't check the time so I imagine you can go in early.

I think it depends on how busy the office is and how strict the guards are.

A late update.

We came about 1/2 hour after opening and went through no problem. While we were inside filling out the form, they called in everybody who had 9am appointment first, then a few min later people who had 10am appointment, a min after 11am, etc. By the time we filled out the forms we were able to go.

We stood in a short line, at the end of which they checked the forms, appointment letter, ID and hands. The lady then gave us a number and told to sit till the number gets called. Only my wife was allowed to actually go in once the number was called, i had to wait in the waiting area. While we were waiting (about 30 min) didn't hear any more 9am first, 10am after calls, so i am assuming they only do that at opening.
