I am a Canadian and have been fingerprinted every single time.

I have no idea why.

I have lived near borders my whole life and never once have I or anyone I have known in Canada been fingerprinted to cross over.

Not all local USCIS accept walk-in BIO, So you may want to ask where is his local office? before trying to walk-in.

This is true, not all will allow the early walk in, but many do...it is up to them.

Try to do the walk-in, the worst that can happen is they say no. The only negative to this would be if you live really far from your center...mine is only ten minutes drive.
