I-751 April 2015 Filers

[brasiliana 0]

I agree with Mike-Ale. I did mine today, one week earlier than the scheduled date and they never even mentioned (neither I did) that I was early. I did the same thing 2 years ago for my AOS and it was the same thing. No problems at all.

For what it's worth, we went in a full week and a half early and had no problems. The person who checked the paperwork/gave a number at the front desk didn't even blink nor care that the scheduled date was later. Now, this could mean the person actually taking the biometrics data may have a different idea. She didn't... however, my wife (getting biometrics taken in this case) is very, very pregnant, so they were kindly sympathetic to our wanting to get things taken care of early. That being said, my impression (and this would likely differ from venue to venue) is that they honestly don't care. You should be fine.

Bio apptmt rescheduled. I had my baby on 5/19, waiting for response and new date

Congrats!! ?

I ended up going on your original appointment date. I did an early bio today.

While this is all fine and good, I want to be clear. We went early because Ale is 9 months pregnant and her due date is literally the day before the scheduled biometrics. For those reading, PLEASE DO NOT TAKE ADVANTAGE of what we have said in this thread. We went early out of legitimacy and necessity. The reason that we all wait so long during these procedures is because people are taking advantage of certain situations. Don't go early just because "you can". Go when they tell you to. Make eveyone's life easier.

Not sure if I agree with you Mike-Ale. Like you I had my own personal reasons to go earlier too I'm not get into what was my reason because it's personal and I believe it's not anyone's place to judge anyone's reasons. But I believe mine wasn't less important (or more) than yours. But anyway both times I did my early walk in and the place was completely empty. First time I was the only "customer" there and today same thing. This time there was only one person arriving when I was leaving. I was in and out in less than 15 min. So, I don't think the fact that you or me going earlier messed up anyone's else appointment.

In my opinion their system is really flawed. They sent you a letter with a random date and hour without giving you any options. The ideal would be a system where you could schedule when you can make it. A couple of options of different days or hours it would be enough. Most of us are adults with jobs and very busy lives and chances are that most of the time people can't make the date they give to them and that's why they don't make a fuss about people going earlier because it makes it easier. Easier than maybe having a whole schedule procedure where people could individually choose a date and much easier than rescheduling every single person that can't make it and have even more work, sending new letters with new date and the new date might not even work again.

Anyway, I really believe that having their doors open and making walk-ins easy and welcome for everyone facilitates for everyone specially them.

But again, that's just my opinion. ?

I didn't mean to single you out in any way at all. My plea to not take advantage of the system was for anyone reading the thread, just like I stated in my previous post.

I'm glad that you had a 15 minute wait. Good for you. I also said that it would likely vary from center to center. We waited almost two hours and were happy that we were able to take care of the situation before it became less manageable.

I'm sorry that you disagree otherwise. If people continue to take advantage of the situation there will be delays.

Your ideal does not make it the ideal situation for everyone. Try to understand that.

I didn't understand what you meant by "Your ideal does not make the ideal situation for everyone."

I understood what you were saying but I disagree and that's quite OK we don't have to agree to everything. The same way you were free to express your opinion here I am too. We all are.

Again, I don't believe this early walk-ins can be a problem because the way it is done it makes up for their flawed system. It's been working fine this way and if there was a problem they would have changed. But again, this is just my humble opinion and we will have to agree to disagree on that one.

About my wait, I didn't wait 15 minutes. I didn't have to wait at all. I was in and out in a total of 15 minutes. I guess the Philadelphia location it isn't that busy huh?

As far as if one's reason is legit and it deserves a walk-in or not it's not fair for us to judge because it benefits ourselves. Some might say your reason (or mine) isn't a good reason for an early walk-in. You say your walk-in is legit and necessary but of course we are going to say our reasons are legit and necessary because it favors ourselves but who are we to say what is important and what is not important in someone's life. What I'm trying to say is if they take one person's walk-in with no questions asked, based on our own judgment in what is worth, legit and necessary or not, well then they will have to take all early walk-ins as they do. It has to be equal to everyone to be fair. And that's what they are doing.

[Mike-Ale 2]

I didn't understand what you meant by "Your ideal does not make the ideal situation for everyone." ... etc.

I see. You don't understand because you are admittedly trying to "make up for their flawed system." While I agree that the system likely needs adjusting, your attidute and actions to try to "fix it" are part of the problem.

Anectodal evidence from your experience means nothing. I'm still not going to suggest to anyone to go early just because they can or just because it's a way to make up for months of waiting. Seeing this response, I regret passing along my experience in this regard, as it was not my intention to imply it is OK to just go whenever you want.

If you truly are advocating that people alter their appointments to suit their best interests you are contributing to the longer wait times for all of us. Know that. Have a good evening and good luck with the rest of your journey.

Isn't alter your appointment to suit your best interest what you just did when you went earlier? As contributing to the longer wait times I disagree that the early walk-in causes any longer waiting time. Anyway darling, let's just agree to disagree!!! You won't change my opinion and I won't change yours. And that's all this is, a matter of opinions.

Thank you, dear. Good evening to you too and the best luck with the rest of your journey as well. Ciao!

Biometrics appointment done. One of the security men at the door just asked "Fingerprints?" I said yes and he pointed to the office to which I was to go. There was one other person getting his fingerprints taken at the time I walked in there.

Long story short: I was in and out in less than 10 mins. The gentleman at the desk was very cordial, he stamped my letter without questioning my early arrival.

Now let the waiting begin.

Hi. How do we add? Not sure I understand the instructions but I am replying. Filed 4/21/2015 sent to the California Service Center, Got NOA1 4/23/2015, our check cleared 5/05/2015 and Biometrics were 5/26/2015. Do we go here or in May?

Oh, sorry 4/23/2015 was the date on the NOA - I don't remember the day of receipt. :-(
