Your husband will not be allowed to accompany you during the process, he will be allowed in the waiting area only. So going alone is not a big deal.

Biometrics is a simple process and just a few minutes once your number is called. Fill in a simple form, some pictures and fingerprints......done. That was our experence at the Jacksonville FL field office.

See if the local office listed on the letter accepts walk-in and then you and your husband could go together at your convenience

I believe the OP was under the impression that the spouse needs to come along for the biometrics. It's a very simple question really and a valid concern. And besides, the question has been answered and the responses acknowledged...

But why would you drag your spouse to biometrics ? Nor is he needed there, neither required for anything....

ROC Journey:

4/24/13 - Submitted I-751 application

4/26/13 - I-751 officially filed

6/11/13 - Biometrics done

8/14/13 - Rec'd RFE

9/21/13 - Submitted RFE response

9/23/13 - RFE response rec'd at VSC

(about 2 months later)

11/21/13 - Service request via Tier 1 submitted

12/11/13 - Response to service request rec'd - vague info about processing times

12/12/13 - Service request via Tier 2 submitted

12/10/13 - APPROVED!!! (letter rec'd 12/14/13)

12/16/13 - 2nd Service request response rec'd

12/17/13 - Card production email/text rec'd (online case updated)!

12/24/13 - Notification rec'd via email regarding card mailed on 12/23/13 (online case updated as well)

12/26/13 - 10-yr card rec'd!

One thing I have learned on this journey:

There is no such thing as an "overkill" evidence package. Submit anything and everything you can. Who knows what will prevent you from getting an RFE.

Exactly - just nobody said straight spouse's presence is not required. Biometrics - at least in Cinci - is ran by contractors, they could care less who do you come with.
