Biometrics Done

[Indo_mommy 0]

Just wanted to share our biometrics experience at ASC Birmingham today.

We were scheduled for 12 PM but since we left Dothan very early, we got to Birmingham at 10:30 AM. I went inside at 11 AM. Filled the form and got a number. Was called at a little after 12 and the lady was really nice. I was done in no time.

Oh btw, I'm using my married name for my AOS but since my passport is still in my maiden name and I don't have any other ID in the married name, I just bring my original marriage certificate (& copy), which they only looked at.

Hopefully, we'll get that interview letter ASAP.

Congrats! My husband got it done today too...the ASC was close to my office so I went over there with him on my lunch break. I wanted to wait with him, but it was totally packed! He said he waited for almost two hours and it was over in two minutes.

I hope you get your next letter soon!

Hi OyenJames,

Congrats on your biometrics!

I'm curious though, can you travel outside the USA with your current foreign passport, or do you have to change your foreign passport to your married name?

Thanks,

-Tom

Hello.

I got my biometrics today at San Francisco Office, too.

My appoint was 2pm and I went there at 1:45.

There were tons of waiting people.

Before entering the office, they checked my picture ID(maiden name),marriage license and appoint notice receipt. They also gave me form to fill in (SS#, A# etc...)

One hour later, a reception woman called my number to prepare. She checked the ID and marriage license, receipt again and checked my hand also. And then, she stamped the receipt and the form.

Another 30 min later, a man called my number to take biometrics and photo. It just took 10-15min.

My friend, took biometrics in SF last week, told me that she was waiting only 10 min.

Because after holiday, it took longer than ususally, I guess.

Was it at the ASC at Broadway and Sansome? My husband was there at the same time! I think it was an especially crazy day there because he asked the guy taking the photo how it was going, and the guy shook his head and said "Don't ask."

I am not sure the cross street...It was 250 Broadway. Is it the same one?

The building was gray and red color and it looks bad like jail...(my husband thought same thing!)

My husband was accompany with me using his lunch time. But it was too long to wait so he left early too.

Yeah..they looked tired...

Yup, that was it. I told my husband it looked like a mechanic's garage. It was such a weird, ugly building!

Sounds like a few people had biometrics done today.

I guess I got really lucky, as I was the only one in the office the whole time. My appointment was at 10am and I got there at 9:40 and they did them right away.

The whole process took about 30 mins. I did have a small cut on one of my fingers (a result of weeding a flower bed with a horribly thorny rose bush in - Dont know why on earth i thought it would be a good idea to weed a flower bed without gloves 2 days before biometrics!!!!!!!!), anyway, they said it was ok, and they could see the part of the finger prints that they needed.

I only had the appointment letter for I-485 even though I filed the i-765 at the same time, but they did both biometrics anyway which will save me from having to go back again.

The people were really friendly and overall it was a pleasant experience.

Hope we all get our interview letters asap.

I also had my interview yesterday, but mine was in Charleston, South Carolina. I'm from Georgia, so we had to ride for about 3 hours and a half. Many people asked me why not having it in Atlanta, but I don't know what to say.

Anyway, after I had my fingerprints and picture taken the woman said "You're done. Your EAD should arrive in the mail in 10-14 days." I was kinda surprised because I didn't ask anything about it; anyone else had this experience? Should I believe or this is not for sure?

Thank You!!!!
