I-751 Biometrics -- can you do it ahead of schedule?

[nycfeng 2]

Say if scheduled as June 22, can I just bring the letter and go on June 1?

1) it is allowed to go ahead of time?

2) finishing the Biometrics earlier will help expedite the case review and get the GC earlier?

Any experience? Just walk in?

hi!

yes you can go in ahead of time. but some offices dont like it and will make you turn around and come back at your appointed time. i did a walk-in for my AOS Biometrics, and I plan to do the same for the ROC one. When i went there, they didnt even question it (in fact i dont think they looked at the actual date stated).

....and.... sometimes it can help expedite, sometimes not, there's no way to really tell.... as for my experience with receiving my 2-yr GC, it did actually speed up the process for me (i know this because i applied 2 weeks after another friend - for her and her hubby, she kept her original Bio date, but i did the early walk-in, and ultimately we both had our interviews on the same day and were both approved on the same day. if i didnt walk-in then most likely i would have been approved a couple of weeks later.

but... as i say, it may or may not help...i think its luck of the draw when it comes to how quickly the IO can process a file.
