Biometrics Walk In

[Ken1 0]

Hi All,

I got my letter for Biometrics for December 17th. Someone on this site told me I could go earlier than my appointment and do a walk in visit before that date. However, on the Boston USCIS office site it says "by appointment only." Does anyone know if in fact I can do a walk in before my actual appointment date?

thanks!

I am from the NY area and my appoitment was scheduled for 9/2/09 and I did a walk-in on 8/22/09 and got through within 30 minutes. Just walk with your appoitment notice, passport, marriage certificate and try it.

Hi Ken,

I think all the ASC offices say on their website "by appointment only". However, many do accept walk-ins. Many of our October AOS filers (see spreadsheet link below) went early and had a successful walk in. A few tried and were turned away. Unfortunately none of our group had an appointment with the Boston ASC so I don't know about them. If you have time, give it a try.

Hi, I was there last week (on my scheduled date) and someone was trying to do a walk-in. The guy working there was adamant that he show proof of why he can't go to his scheduled date (like a flight confirmation). So, it doesn't look like you can walk-in without some sort of valid reason. You can always try though if its nearby.

Thanks everyone for your help (as always here on VJ!!!!)

So here's what happened: I went to the Boston office today. I was hoping to get there just before 3:00 (when I believe they take their last Biometrics appointments), but I was cutting it too close and got there about 3:10. There seemed to be few people there and it looked hopeful. I explained that I was hoping to do a walk in and the woman at the front desk told me I would have to speak to the supervisor. He was very nice, asked for my reason, and told me that I was a little late for today, but I could come back any time between 8:00AM and 3:00PM this Thursday (still a week before my scheduled date). He gave me the form to fill out and said if I came with that form filled out at 8:00AM it would take me about 15 minutes to do the whole process.

Again, thanks for the help!
