See/ I knew it was something small.

They need it to check if your co-sponsor is US citizen.

Sometimes the passport is enough, sometimes they ask for birth certificate.

absolutely agree with this! I wish i did my walk-in earlier.. My appointment was scheduled for 5 August but I decided to do a walk-in on 1 August as my husband wasn't available on 5 Aug.

My office is in Tukwila, Washington. I arrived at 8am and the security check was a breeze, I just told them that I was doing a walk-in for my biometrics due to my husband's work schedule. The whole process took an hour as the walk-ins had to wait for the scheduled folks to finish their turn. There were at least 5 other people who were also doing a walk-in biometrics..

Is anyone expediting their EAD?? I just got a job offer and would love to try and get my expedited EAD by the end of this month..

10 July 2014 (Day 1): I-485, I-130, I-131 I-765 mailed to Chicago Lockbox.

25 August 2014 (Day 46): Called USCIS's office to put in request for expedited EAD processing
26 August 2014 (Day 47): Congressman's office called and informed that I-131 post decision activity, I-765 card/document production (successful expedite request)

28 August(Day 49): USCIS ordered production of I-765 EAD

@kooliz - how was your walk-in today bro?

Walk-in was a breeze as well. Went to the Varick Street building in NYC. Took about 45 mins - no questions asked and I was in and out the door. Congrats on your biometrics appointment. No need for drugs - just patience!
