Hi everyone,

We just finished the biometrics phase of the AOS processing and just wanted to share our experience.

This is what happened:

- Got to the building. There is a good deal of parking but it's anywhere from 1-5 dollars depending on how long you stay.

- Only the person doing the biometrics is allowed in the office. Don't bother with the "but I'm their transportation!" reasoning. They'll kick you out and you can wait outside the office until they are done.

- If the name on their passport doesn't match their current name (say it changed when you got married), you'll need your marriage certificate to prove it. If you need an extra copy, the hall of records is right down the street. It takes all of 10 minutes to get another marriage certificate.

- Overall, it was a pretty smooth process and the employees were very polite and helpful.
