Congrats on the walk in!

I keep trying to talk myself into doing it, I've read lots of successful attempts at the Grand Rapids location, I'm just... not at all confrontational or good at the puppy eyes and would probably just nod and walk away, LOL.

I'm back! Everything was somewhat complicated. Went in, told us to sit down because they saw it a little impossible to let do a walk in since they were back logged by 30 people. Then I got called to tell me they couldn't, and I started doing puppy face again. I told them it was only me and explained the circumstances as to why I couldn't wait. (I did not lie about a trip, but they did ask if that was one of the reasons, seemingly if you say you have a trip you do have more of a chance of getting a walk in.) The receptionist told me that if I wanted to wait 30 minutes to see how the speed went, I could, and ask her again. I did this and she said that just because I waited. Hahahaha. I told her she was going to heaven, so I WAS ABLE TO DO A WALK IN!!!! Kinda stressed, waited for an hour and a half, but worth it. I was the last person to have a Bio by that officer, they were supposed to close at noon today, but for some reason somebody scheduled appointments when they shouldn't and TADA!!

Great!Congrats! :)
