I am currently in Birmingham, AL and we filed using the address in Mobile, AL. *HAPPY BELATED FAT TUESDAY!*

Anyway, hubby is still in Mobile and I'm in Birmingham for this new job. We received the biometrics letter on Monday (Mobile address). I'm scheduled for an 11AM appointment on March 18 at the ASC in Metairie, LA. My first Biometrics for the AoS was done at the same place. That's because the ASC office in LA is only 1.5hrs away from our address in Mobile.

Seeing that I'm in Birmingham now and will be here for at least another 80days due to the training/probation phase, do you think I'll be able to do a walk-in at the ASC office here in Birmingham? There's an ASC Office only 20mins away from my little rented nook. I'd rather miss the first 2 hours of work than to take one whole day off to drive a total of 12 hrs just to get my finger prints taken. I mean, I would if that's the only option I have.

Has anyone ever gotten their biometrics done at a more convenient location instead of the one USCIS had scheduled you at?

I did an early walk-in for my biometrics because we were going to be out of state on my appointment date. When I explained this to the guy on the door he told me that I could also have gone to the office local to where I was on the appointment date. He said I could have it done at any office in the US.
