My biometrics appointment was 8/15, walked in today. Santa Ana biometrics office.

The office opened at 8.00am, I turned up at 7.59. Security checked I had my ID and appointment letter, gave me a sheet to fill in, double checked I had done so properly. Waited 10 minutes, had my prints done, filled

in a survey card expressing how wonderful they are and walked out the front door at 8.19am.

Brilliant.

Sounds easy enough! Good luck with the RFE and keep us posted.

Better late than never!

I did, but I also read almost everything here and I do know that some people don't get notifications, even if they asked for them, subscribed and stuff.

And yeah I can see the dates. The problem is that the case's status can change in the middle of the night.

This waiting train is terrible :D
