Hi VJers,

I just did a walk-in biometrics at the local ASC office and it was easy as a breeze. I learned a lot from VJ about the process :) so Thanks.

I went there about half an hour before the office closes (3:30pm). It was pretty empty. There was just one person before me, I asked the receptionist if I could do my biometrics early. She didn't even ask why and agreed. It was such a relief! I heard from someone that the Columbus office here doesn't allow walk-ins, but it was from a thread 3 years ago, so I assume things have changed.

Hope it helps for people who need info on this particular ASC office.

I was an international student on F-1 visa
