Fingerprints on different days

[Richard-UK 2]

Hi everyone.  My wife and I have been given fingerprint appointments on different days.  Mine 13th, my wife 14th.

 

Not an issue except we are a three hour drive from the field office in New Orleans. 

 

Will obviously ask if they can complete our fingerprinting on the 13th. 

 

Anybody got an experience of USCIS field office allowing this?

 

Many thanks

I did an early walk-in just a couple of weeks ago, many offices are perfectly fine with it. Others aren't as happy about it, I guess you can call and ask beforehand. 

 

Here's a list of people who have tried to do early walk-ins, successfully or not. Check the last page for the most recent list:

Have your wife go with you to the biometrics and explain them /ask them if she can do it in that same visit instead of her coming back the next day for hers. I long time ago did my biometrics as walk in sooner than the date they scheduled me. Like Scandi said, some offices are okay with that. You have nothing to lose I guess. She should bring her ID/passport with her just in case. Good luck!

Thank you both for your answers.

 

We are going tomorrow fully prepared and hoping they will be kind to us.

 

I will keep you informed!

Amazing visit to the New Orleans field office.  Not only did they allow my wife to have her fingerprints taken a day early but also took us both in two hours before my own appointment.

 

They could not have been nicer.  I asked one of the agents if it was busy, she said that today they had about 67 due to a few walk-ins but next week each day is over 100!

 

Nine hour trip exactly.  Glad I am off work tomorrow!

So happy for you, offices that allow early walk-ins just make things so much easier.
