hi everyone,

On thursday i have my biometrics appointment at Latham, Albany ny. I am travelling from about 3 hours away and staying at a hotel the night before as the appointment is at 8am the next morning

just a couple questions..

I know there are no cell phones allowed at the USCIS building..do they have a lockbox facility there to store your phone while you have your biometrics done? i am travelling on my own and didnt want to go without my cellphone..

also what exactly do they do for biometrics and how long should i expect to be there for..and does anyone have any experience how quickly after that i may get my i-131 travel documents and i-765 work documents?

only waited about 3 weeks to get my biometrics appointment after filing i-485 and i thought that was quite quick..

i am desparate to travel back to england to visit family which is why i am so keen to get my travel docs..

anyway hope everyones visa journey is going well

thanks for your help

Phone is not always allow...i was lucky to be advised to switch it off when i was there with my wife. You might not be lucky as i was as you may not encounter the same security officers that attended to us. They dont have a place for you to put your phone. i got my EAD about 28days after biometric. its just a simple process, you are done within 5 mins. Wish you Goodluck
