[katie1990 23]

Is how does the whole walk in biometrics process work or if i will even be accepted? My appointment is july 5th at 2:00 pm at the bellflower uscis place. Does it make a difference in timing if i walk in early and what are the chances of me getting rejected? Thanks everyone im so excited!

Early biometrics or walk-ins provide absolutely no benefit over a person who does them when scheduled. The USCIS puts your file into a hold bucket until after your biometrics appointment. So regardless of when you do your biometrics, they still only pull your file on a specific date in the future. USCIS agents are not prompted by a system if your FBI results come in earlier than expected. You're more than welcome to try a walk-in, but you may be rejected if you don't have a valid reason for showing up early.

Many USCIS centers allow early walk-in without any questions asked. All you need to show them is the appointment letter and the IDs requested in the letter. It all depends on the center and how crowded the place is. No harm in trying if you have the time. One more thing checked off your list.

This is incorrect. I know of several people, and on in particular, that reported doing a walk-in the day after getting the letter and receiving (physically receiving) his EAD/AP about a week before his scheduled appointment. So yes it CAN help speed things up. It doesn't always, but it can.

OP - If you have the time feel free to try a walk-in. Worst case scenario they deny you the walk-in and you go on your actual appointment date.
