so biometrics was easy peasy. we arrived about 5 minutes early, making sure we had left all the phones in the car (although the security card never searched us, or asked about my long coat in fact never got off the phone w/ his girlfriend) filled out a one sheeter basic bio information, they matched his i.d. to the letter and then after about 5 minutes were sent upstairs where it took about 10 minutes to make sure the fingerprints were proper and get his photo taken. (they even let him preview the photo in case he didn't like it! :whistle: ) all in all painless done in under 15 minutes. curious to see if they "touch" our file in the next few days given the biometrics.

Good to know it was so easy and fast.

One question: is the US citizen supposed to go with the immigrant at the biometrics, or does it work just the same if the immigrant goes by him/herself? I don't really want my husband to take a day off from work just for a 20 minutes appointment.

no not at all required for the usc to attend. i went only because it made sense given written english comprehension difficulties not knowing if there would be loads of paperwork. it's basically bio information.

I know that at some ASCs only the person doing their biometrics is allowed inside. Everyone else has to wait outside.

Kimocorne and Rose,

The spreadsheet is really cool.

Good job guys, and thanks for doing this for us.

My NOA is still missing, it is 10/08/08.

Plz add it. Thanks

Kang Lang,

I singed up for the email alert too, and haven't got anything.

not the notice for biometrics nor the "touch" 2 days after the biometrics.

I guess we just need to keep checking the website and mailbox.
