We just mailed our packet today...right before the fees go up! Nothing like last minute, but my hubby is a bit of a procrastinator and there's only so much I can do to push him ;)

Just curious, for those who do walk-in biometrics, what is the reason? Does this speed up your process if you are able to get in? Best of luck to everyone!

I did an early walk in 'just in case' it sped things up....

i have no idea if it does or not in the long run

some people say it helps, some people say it doesnt make a difference, some people say it depends on your local centre's processing situation...

in my case, an ASC is about 6 blocks away from where i work, so i just figured i'd turn up on a Wednesday and see if they'd let me....

It was fine

good luck to everyone

It means that they accepted your application. They can still send you an RFE (Request for Evidence) during the whole process till you actually get the green card in your hand. Accepting your application merely means that all applications were the right editions, all signed, fees were correct. Over all, it is a good thing and better than having all your package mailed back to you.

Best of luck on your journey!
