If any of you guys signed up for an account on the USCIS website, do you receive emails/texts if you have a 'touch' on your applications? Or do you have to check entering every case number each time to know there is a touch?

Hello everyone! I am going to attempt a biometrics walk in today! Wish me luck. Van Nuys Office, CA. Anyone have any luck there?

Copied from another thread:

"My attempt at getting walk in biometrics at Van Nuys didn't quite work out today. I went to the office at about 1.30, but was told that they do not to walk ins during the afternoon because of a lack of staff. They suggested that I come during the early morning if I wanted to try again."

Hope this helped!

If any of you guys signed up for an account on the USCIS website, do you receive emails/texts if you have a 'touch' on your applications? Or do you have to check entering every case number each time to know there is a touch?

I've signed up for an account on the USCIS but no email/text on any update including 'touch'.

I just go to 'My profile' to check all the case at once for each touch (update); no need to enter the case number if you enter it once.

Hey guys!

Thanks all for letting me know about the sig and the walk in. I am still going to try. set on it...but will post if the Van Nuys morning walk-in still stannds.

I am currently on an H1B. When I sent out my AOS, I didn't send in an Applicaton for work-auth because I technically have one. BUT- I am limited to working at my current job because of that. Does anybody know if i can send an additonal application now for work auth anywhere? Can you tell....I am trying to switch jobs without getting sponsored again.

Let me know!

Thanks!

Walk-in biometrics successful! ... even though they tried to tell John that they didn't do walk-ins! HA! When they asked him where he drove from (Lansing to Detroit), they told him "oooooo! well, while you are here, we will just go ahead and do them!" ... so yes, they do walk-ins! :rofl:

Good job!!! :jest::energy:

Hey guys,

I did my walk-in biometrics today and figured that I should share this with you. I was scheduled to go in to Elizabeth NJ ASC office. Since I couldnt find any info about walk-ins , i decided to show up there around 9.30 am. The security lady wasnt very nice and told me that they do not accept any walk-ins today. They only do walk-ins on Wednesday. My entire trip was a waste of time. But I refused to go home without getting my biometrics done. So I decided to go to the Manhattan office. The security guard looked at my letter and said that I am scheduled for New Jersey not NY. I just said that jersey didnt accept walk-ins and that they sent me to the manhattan office( a tiny emergency lie). He let me go in and it took me 10 minutes to get my biometrics done. People at the Manhattan office were really nice and I am glad that I am one step closer to my green card.
