NYC field office walk-in for fingerprint experience?

Has anyone tried to do the fingerprinting through walk-in prior to a scheduled date in NYC? Is there a typical "rule" regarding how early you can do a walk-in for fingerprints? For instance, can you walk-in like about 2 weeks before your scheduled date to try to get it done? I'm guessing my fingerprint date will be during the 4th week of March but I might be gone during that week so I would love to try to get it done earlier....

Good question. I'm thinking myself about early walk-in as soon as I will get my biometrics appointment letter.

I woke up this morning with $680 less in my account!! :dancing::dancing::dancing::dancing:

For the 1st time in my 4 years in vj, my check was cashed in just 4 days :content::content::content: usually takes up to 10-12 days!!

So I guess my noa1 will be in the mail by the end of the week and biometrics next week!!

please update

Refer to my timeline in my signature. There seems to be a mail delay, even when my NOA was dated 2/5. Biometrics is generally a month after they've received your packet.

I talked to my CPA in January 2016 before sending my N400 she said you cannot include taxes for 2015 because you simply have not filed it yet. I simply wrote a letter to USCIS and attached it to IRS reports. In letter I explained that I'm going to file taxes for 2015 in March 2016. That's it.

I didn't even include that. I just submitted 12 13 14 and will probably bring 15 to the interview.

NYC field office walk-in for fingerprint experience?

Has anyone tried to do the fingerprinting through walk-in prior to a scheduled date in NYC? Is there a typical "rule" regarding how early you can do a walk-in for fingerprints? For instance, can you walk-in like about 2 weeks before your scheduled date to try to get it done? I'm guessing my fingerprint date will be during the 4th week of March but I might be gone during that week so I would love to try to get it done earlier....

it really depends on your field office. I've never tried an early walk-in mainly because I don't want to waste my time getting turned away.

I was wondering the same thing .... We have not recvd the noa as yet either

Wow..congrats

So they tell you the date if you call them? I haven't received my NOA letter yet but I wonder if I can still call them to ask....

Call to 800-375-5283 and ask to transfer your call to Tier 2 Officer.

Tier 2 officer is the immigration officer who has access to the database. S/he can answer your questions (when your letter was sent to you and what is the date and time of your biometrics)

You must have your Receipt number in order to be transferred to Tier 2 officer.

I'm guessing my fingerprint date will be during the 4th week of March but I might be gone during that week so I would love to try to get it done earlier....

Hey krbxtigerz, there is no 'rule' about early walk-ins - as long as you have the biometrics appointment letter in-hand, you can go to the office, but whether they let you do your biometrics early is up to the individual office (how busy it is, who's working there that day, et cetra). For my wife's AOS, we did the walk-in about a month before the scheduled date in San Francisco, but it wasn't busy when we went (about 07.30 in the morning), and they let her do it. Just be confident and pretend that it's the right day for you to show up, and have a good reason in case they do ask (ie you'll be out of town the scheduled date).

We are in Manhattan, and we're going to try and do an early walk-in to the office on Houston and Varick this Friday and I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks! I also live in Manhattan so I would love to know how your walk-in attempt goes this Friday. I hope they let you do it!
