We finally received our Biometrics letter and our appointment is 2 weeks from today at the Riverside Office in California. Am wondering if anyone can share their Biometrics experience at the Riverside, cali office and if you are able to get bio done before your appointment date.

Thank you!

Yes you can get your Bio done before Appt! Thy give you an Appt date for BIO but they dont even look at it. best to go early in the morning. Traffic on the 91 going toward Corona is bad but earlier the better. plus people going to Tyler Mall is bad. the Center is right around from Tyler Mall and its always Crowded there. Good Luck!!!:thumbs:

My bio was in phoenix but im sure its the same process, make sure that you bring your appointment letter from uscis and a valid id with you, if you change your last name in your aos app, bring your marriage certificate too just in case they ask. Also, they will ask you to fill up a form thats asking for your info such as weight, height, address, tel no so have those info handy just in case you haven't memorize them. Goodluck on your journey!
