We're leaving soon for Naperville, IL to get my biometrics done, and I just had a last minute panic that I might neglect to bring something vital. You just need the appointment letter, and my ID, right?

Sorry to ask such a silly question... worry, worry, worry...

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies."

They also asked my husband for another form of identification -- State ID/Drivers License -- besides his Passport.

Also, they will ask for a Social Security number if you have one.....

Good Luck!

Well, since I don't have a picture ID with my married name yet, they asked for the appointment letter, my passport and the marriage certificate (thank God I had all my files).

On the sheet you'll need to fill some information out such as A#, receipt # (that usually starts with MSC), DOB, SS# (if you have one), weight, height, hair color, eye color, etc.

After all done, she said that my EAD would arrive in 10-14 days... do they tell this to everybody????

My wife had her biometrics done today. She only needed her passport for picture ID and the appointment letter.

I didn't realize people at ASC can tell you how long before you will receive your EAD.

*GUITAR PLAYERS BEWARE!!*

Holy cow! That was kinda fast! After 2.5 hrs driving in the 90+degree heat (poor, pitiful us...) and a stay in a smelly hotel room for the night, the whole fingerprinting and photo-ing took only about 1/2 hour! I took my passport, my appointment letter (and Amy!) and that was all I needed.

I have to make special mention of the staff at the Naperville, IL ASC who displayed the UTMOST friendliness and efficiency. I think other VJ-ers will back me up when I say that at least one of them (here's a clue: sounds like 'cleanliness') is not always something you get during the immigration process.

They said nothing to me about when I should expect my EAD either but, like many on here, I never asked. Fourteen days would be AWESOME.

Oh, and the guitar thing? As a right-handed guitar player, the tips of my fingers on my left hand are in an almost perpetual state of beat-up-ness. It took SEVEN attempts to get a satisfactory image of my left index finger alone... still, they were nice about it, although incredibly they didn't ask me for a tune.

Take care!

Jim
