CITY: Philadelphia - Drummond Road

Successful. No questions asked.

I walked in with my appointment letter and asked if I could do a walk in as my parents were arriving that day. The guard told me no but she would call and check if they could see me as nobody was waiting. I was in and out within around 15 minutes. We risked it and it paid off. We went in at 11am on a Wednesday. Seemed pretty quiet all round.

My appointment was for the 7th of August but I had my biometrics done July 25th.

I rarely saw anybody was turned back.

I feel its great idea to do walk-in as it speed up your EAD though not much for your GC.

But as long as its' making your processing quicker, why not.

May GOD bless All !

That's where they may send you. It supposed to be the closest office.

Hello everyone! awesome thread, I've been looking through visajourney for the past month. I just got my ASC Appointment Notice today(8/20/2012). the notice date is 8/15/2012, and they schedule my

appointment on 9/05/2012. I live in Raleigh NC, the office is located in Durham(about 22min drive with traffic according to google maps I hope!). I was wondering how early should I show up..my

schedule is extremely tight, and I don't drive(my wife is taking me), so she's planning on taking the day off work that day. the only other day that we can go during the week is monday.

thanks

I would like to add that the appointment is for case type I-485 and I-765 code: 3

I went today to USCIS office in Cleveland, Ohio. My appointment was scheduled for 11/06 but I had no issues having it done today. Te security guard in the building didn't ask any questions, didn't even want to see my appointment letter. The staff was very friendly, I don't think they even checked the date on the notice. I was out in 15 min!
