Did you go in the morning or in the afternoon? They open at 8am right? Thanks for the info.

I went there last Friday at 2:00 PM. I was thinking that there might not be many people in the afternoon.

The lady at frond desk asked me to come back on the scheduled appointment date or wait until 3:30PM saying there are other people for biometrics for the scheduled date.

I waited outside and tried again at 3:10PM. This time they let me in.

I believe they are open between 8 am and 4 pm.
