I have heard of people going in ahead of their scheduled appointment and getting processed. I am planning to visit the office on Tuesday morning. I am in Boston. I would love to hear about others experience or advice about my pending visit. My appointment is the 10th of July but my work is going to make it difficult to attend and my mail will be delayed so I don't want to waste time with the normal change of date process. Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Most ASCs (Application Support Centers) do indeed accept walk-ins provided you have your appointment letter with you.

Bring:

  • Original Appointment Letter
  • ID/Passport
  • Marriage Certificate (if name change)

In/Out very quickly (10 minutes once your turn is called).

What is the advantage of going early?

I don't know if there is an advantage. Our appointment fell on a bad weekend. My work requires me to move to the Berkshires and that would have made for 4 or more hours of driving and there were a lot of events around the 10th. So I went in to try to get it over with and I am so glad I did. I don't think we will get processed any quicker.

Oh, I see. Thanks. I thought this was a way of cutting in line. I would do it if I could.
