Hi there i sent my pkg in on Oct 4, 2012 and i received my hard copies of NOAs (i-130 & i-485) yesterday. I was unaware that i could submit the i-765 the same time. Anyway i have it ready to be mailed out tomorrow along with the i-797c. I have a biometric appointment scheduled for Nov 09, 2012, I've seen members doing walk-ins weeks b4 the actual appointment, how do i go about doing that, do i just "walk-in" and wait my turn..?

It does not hurt to try... check the forum for walk-in experiences in your local office... usually you just show up to the local office and show your letter, sometimes they don't mind the specific date of the letter and let you in...

I intend to give it a try, maybe next week...

It is not clear if it help speed things up or not, but somehow getting done is one less worry....

Also, you can send the I-131 if you intend to travel before the GC is ready (if you are elegible for it)..

Question 15 is Current Immigration Status. What visa did you use to enter the US?
