Biometrics Time and Approximate Length

[Bugs 455]

My K-1 wife got her biometrics appointment for her AOS today, and I had a couple questions...

1. Her time is set to 9:00 AM. Is that when they open, or can we arrive earlier?

2. How long does the appointment usually take?

I was in and out in less then 15 minutes. The fingerprints etc take about 5 minutes.

I had a 2pm appointment and was there around 1.30 pm. They helped me without letting me wait until 2pm.

So depending on how busy they are it would help to come earlier if they are open before 9am.

Thanks. Anyone know where I can get their hours and if they are open Fridays. It is the Chula Vista office and we are thinking of doing an early walk in.

Yes, you can arrive early. I would not think that the ASC would start taking people in before 8:30 a.m. The ASC my gal and I went to took people as they came in, first come first served. You won't be there any longer than an hour. If you would like to try and find out specifics about the ASC you are going to check this website: http://www.us-immigration.com/uscis/california/chula-vista-local-office.html and scroll down the page to learn about hours and other stuff.

https://egov.uscis.gov/crisgwi/go?action=offices.detail&office=XSB&OfficeLocator.office_type=ASC&OfficeLocator.statecode=CA says they are open from 8:00 to 4:00 Mon-Fri.

We went to the San Marcos (North San Diego County) office because it's nearest to us and was our scheduled place, and it was EMPTY, hardly anyone else needing biometrics. There were more officers than there were customers, and we were in and out within 15 minutes. We went about 45 minutes before our scheduled time -- didn't try a walk-in since we weren't in any major hurry.
