I just now found this forum, but I'm also a June AOS filer.

-Sent it on 6/11

-Got the text/email that it was received 6/22

-Did my biometrics on 7/10 as a walk-in since I couldn't go on the actual date of my appointment

Got my biometrics letter today and it is scheduled for Monday. Bummed because I will not be able to make and will have to reschedule

If you have time to go before then (which would really just be Friday) you could try to walk-in

Hi! Anyone from NYC?

 

Were you allowed to bring your mobile phone during the biometrics appointment?

 

Was it the one at Varick Street?

 

Did you go there alone or were you with your spouse?

 

Thanks.

I've been on two occasion and its a pretty painless process. There is a clear area where it states no cell phones, but you can have yours on you, just not out and being utilized. You can accompany your spouse if you'd like.

Hi everyone,

I just had my Biometrics Appointment at the Wilshire ASC in Downtown Los Angeles.

For anyone else likely to have biometrics at this location, I wanted to share my experience:

  • AOS packet filed on 6/20. Biometric Appointment scheduled for 7/19 at 9am. Notice was received 10 days prior, so decided to stick with the scheduled appointment instead of attempting a walk-in.
  • I arrived at 8:35am and there was no queue at the entrance.
  • It was totally fine to bring in my cellphone - the guard politely informed me that it just had to be on silent mode and remain in my pocket.
  • The security guards and all other staff were courteous and helpful.
  • I was done by 9:15am.

Cheers all, and good luck :)

Yea I want to shout out to the security guards at the Helena, Montana ASC as well.

They are so so friendly (and funny as well), they made me feel relaxed right away. Cell phone is allowed to bring in but I just turned it off. 

I received my biometric appointment letter on Jun 9 and appointment scheduled on Jun 18. My appointment was at 10am, I arrived at 9.15am and finished at 9.35am (also no queue when i arrived)
