Had my biometrics done today. I arrived at the Elizabeth, NJ office at 10 am for a 1 pm appointment but was asked to wait till 12 pm since they do not accept appointments "that early". Was not a problem though, since the ASC was not too far from my home. We drove to a nearby mall and killed about an hour there before returning at 12 pm. Biometrics went fairly well, though the officer taking my fingerprints gave me a minor scare by asking me to "relax" saying if my fingerprints got messed up because I was tense, I may be asked to redo it on a different day. :unsure:

Finally, all went well. Keeping fingers crossed for the next step.
