How does walk-in bio work?

[gyselle 4]

Hi!

I noticed many people do a "walk in bio" instead of waiting for the bio-metric appointment as listed on the letter?

How do we go about doing it? Do we just walk in and show the letter and ask if we can get it done?

Cheers,

As soon as you have your biometrics appointment letter on hand, you can go and do a walk-in. There are nuances on how to do a walk in depending on your area so try the search feature and look for experiences on "walk-ins" in your area. I'd suggest to go in the morning as bio offices tend to be busier in the afternoon. Just give them a visit and try, wouldn't hurt.

I just tried a walk in last week since I was off. The office wasn't that busy. The security told me to get approval from the officer first then I explained to the officer why do I need to do an early bio and he approved me. I was done in less than 15 mins.
