Went to St. Paul today for my biometrics appointment. It went really well, friendly staff. Since we live some distance away we got there 45 minutes early. They took my paperwork and sent me through. We were in and out within 20 minutes. Now to wait for the interview letter :)

Did they ask you why you are doing biometrics too early? And what time did you go?morning or afternoon? I am going to try an early walk-in this Friday!

fwiw - we did the early walk in for the biometrics yesterday in Houston...

we tried to go in around 945am and were told by the supervisor they were very busy and to try back at 1pm, but she said "no guarantee".

We went away and came back a little early at 1240pm... tried our luck and were met with the guard instead and she gave us the paperwork etc. and about 35 minutes later we were done...

Around 1pm, it got busy again...

so my advice, dont go on the top of the hour... go around 35 to 45 mins after the hour... as they schedule everybody to come in at the top of the hour and if you're trying to get an early walk in you may be asked to come back..

no big deal for us to come back as we just did some shopping near by....

Just done with my biometrics yesterday. I went on the day I was scheduled but 1 hour early. My appt was at 2:00pm but I reached there at 1:00pm and was done with everything around 1:15pm. It was all so fast, I didn't even get a number, she sent me directly for fingerprints.

Well,does anyone who had their biometrics done a week ago see any changes in their online status? Like IN-Line to schedule interview?

no change for me. I can't even get into my account page like before with the new look. It opens a new USCIS. Can anyone else get into that new account page?

Seems to be a common problem---I had it too a few weeks ago, and then I kept signing in and out and asking to change my password until I managed to get into my account again.

Someone suggested an easier fix above: add /account/link at the end of the URL that shows up when you can't get into your account. I haven't tried it myself, as now I can log in. I'm curious if it works, though.

I've also done my biometrics today. I went to the Processing Center in Long Island City, NY almost an hour before the scheduled time and there was only one applicant there. I was done and out in 5-10 minutes.

FYI, I was allowed to bring my cell phone inside (contrary to what the biometrics appointment notice might suggest); I only had to turn it off.

And now the wait for the interview begins.

He did not ask why I was early, we arrived @ 9:15 am, my appointment was for 10:00 am. It seemed that as long as you had your appointment letter they let you go through. It was filling up as we were leaving @ 9:45. am.

Very nice staff at the St. Paul site. Nothing has changed on the USCIS site.

Hi everyone! Sent my N400 last June 20th and according to the tracking # of my package, it was received Friday, June 24th. I saw the charge pending on my account but I haven't received an email notice from them saying they received my application even though I submitted the G-1145 notification of application. Hope I receive notice soon! I'm excited for all of us! :)
