We finally got the NOA1 hard copy for AP, a mere 17 days after the notice date! The entire envelope had been put into a larger outer envelope by the USPS because there is a big chunk missing out of the top of the USCIS envelope & NOA1. I hope it doesn't end up being a problem that we have a badly mangled NOA1!

The assigned biometrics appointment is coming up on Monday, so I'm glad we now have all of the documents. Guess there won't be much point in trying to do a walk-in, will there!

When you walk in a officer will check your ASC letter and have you sign some docs. A person will clean you hands and fingers and electronically fingerprint your fingers. After fingerprints they will take one headshot of you. In and out should be around 10-15 mins
