Just got off the line with my wife. She went to the local USCIS office at Alexandria, VA. Got there alittle early and they took care of her. It was the same guy who did her biometric for her Green Card. She was in and out of there in less than 10 minutes. She spoke with them and they said it'll be about 1 - 2 month untill she gets her interview.

So your wife is with the Washington, DC field office, the same as my wife? (The list says "unknown" for your field office.)

My wife just left for the Alexandria office to try to have her biometrics done early as a walk-in. It seems that the Alexandria office doesn't mind walk-ins and we hope it'll work out okay because her appointment for this coming Tuesday is very inconvenient. We are not really trying to speed up the process. In fact, we hope the Washington/Fairfax DO will keep to its usual slow pace because any interview date earlier than mid-January might create problems with my wife's travel schedule over the next few months.

My wife just came back from her walk-in fingerprinting at Alexandria, VA facility. :)

No problem at all, with only one person in line ahead of her.

I wasn't sure how to find what our Local office is going to be so I left it blank. I though it might be in Fairfax, VA or Washington, DC. One or the other. So it's Washington DC than? We live in Springfield, VA.

Has somebody tried "walk-in" biometrics in Fort Worth, Texas? My appointment is on the 1st of Nov and is a very inconvenient day and re-scheduling it backwards is not an option. I called the USCIS toll and the lady said "NO" walk-in. Can't find the direct Fort Worth telephone number. But who knows :) Anyone?

It doesn't hurt to try I guess. It still depends if they are busy or not.Here in Sacramento CA, some we're allowed to do the early bio, and some were denied. hope this helps!

It doesn't hurt to try I guess. It still depends if they are busy or not.Here in Sacramento CA, some we're allowed to do the early bio, and some were denied. hope this helps!

Thank you, Richard. I would want to call first though. Is there a way to get a number of the local USCIS office? I tried to look but can't find it.

I wasn't sure how to find what our Local office is going to be so I left it blank. I though it might be in Fairfax, VA or Washington, DC. One or the other. So it's Washington DC than? We live in Springfield, VA.

Yes, officially the field office designation is "Washington, DC" if you look for it on the USCIS website. However, the actual offices are at

2675 Prosperity Avenue, Fairfax, VA 20598-2400,

and that's where the interviews take place. They adjudicate all applications from DC and Northern VA. Since you live in NoVA, they will do same-day oath ceremonies on the premises if the interview is in the morning. If it's in the afternoon, the oath usually will take place within a day or two. (Unless there is a name change involved; then it takes longer.)

I think phone numbers for USCIS District Offices are not available. They still want you to call the National Customer Service Center if you have questions regarding your application. Just try to walk-in and hopefully, they will accommodate you. Have a nice day!

That’s great bonnerbonner :thumbs:, happy to be of service. You should get your biometrics letter soon. We were in and out of the Hialeah location for the biometrics. You can use this tool on USCIS to gauge where you will do your biometrics (https://egov.uscis.gov/crisgwi/go?action=offices.type&OfficeLocator.office_type=ASC) and the interview (https://egov.uscis.gov/crisgwi/go?action=offices.type&OfficeLocator.office_type=LO). Good luck to you!!!
