Hi guys,

The biometrics letter is here, hurray. It is dated end of September. Has anyone done a walk-in in Salt Lake City? Is there a preferred time of the day to go. Patience is not really my thing.

Cheers.

Raniao, did you attempt a walk-in? I am also in SLC - just received NOA 1 and waiting for biometrics notice. My attorney said that she knows of people who have had successful walk-ins at this office. Please post an update as I'd like to attempt the same. Thanks & good luck!

Hi, No, I haven't attempted it. I guess I am just going to wait for the appointment. Glad to find someone from Salt Lake. Will let you know if I go.

Cheers.

I found another thread called Salt Lake biometrics walk-in...you may want to take a look http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/260779-slc-walk-in-for-biometrics/

From what I understood, you can do the early walk-in, but you should try on Wednesday's, it's safer.

You have to wait for the appointment letter, they won't let you in without it. I've been waiting for mine for a pretty long time now, I would really like to know what's going on with the appointments :unsure:

It hasn't been proven that a walk-in really speeds up your case. But it can sure slow you down if you don't get the biometrics done. They've did all the processing they could on my applications, and now everything is suspended while they're waiting on the fingerprints.

Very frustrating.

Silly me.. I was afraid of the scary RFE's...

Yippee!! We successfully attempted a walk-in for Biometrics today at the Taylorsville ASC. They were extremely helpful and let us right in. There were four of us (hubby, two sons and myself) so I almost expected to be turned away. But the place was entirely empty. The center here is so much less intimidating than I thought it would be - just a simple large room and office type setup. We were the only people there and it took less than 30 min for all of us to be processed. My husband talked with the lady who took his fingerprints and she told him that we had just missed the rush. She mentioned that all appointments are on the hour so you have a much better chance of getting in if you arrive at 15 or 20 minutes to or past the hour. We got there at 1:15 today (a Friday) and were out of there by 1:45pm. If anyone is considering a walk-in, I'd say do it! Totally unintimidating and nothing at all to be nervous about - honestly. :thumbs:
