Hi all,

 

Wanted to share my Biometrics appointment Walk-in experience. I received the Biometrics Appointment letter yesterday with the appointment date of 1/10/2020 at Fort Worth, Texas - I expected them to schedule it in Charlotte, NC but I was suprised that they picked the ASC closer to my husband (My husband lives in Dallas but I live in Charlotte and I am visiting him for the holidays)

 

I went this morning to a different ASC location - Dallas, TX instead of Fort Worth, TX. The officers who were checking people in asked me to wait for someone - probably the Manager or incharge of that ASC. She asked me why I was there before my appointment date and I told her that I live in Charlotte and I had my flight the next evening. She asked me when I was going to come back and I said not until February. She asked me to show her some proof and I showed her my flight tickets. Then she wrote that I was allowed to proceed on my Appointment Letter.

Another person who walked in after me was sent away and asked to come back on the date specified on his Appointment letter. 

 

So I guess if it weren't for the flight tickets, I would'nt have been allowed to proceed either.

I received notice to attend biometrics appointment (sent to mother in law’s home - our registered address) for Feb 12th in Elizabeth, NJ. Booked round trip flights from Sydney to Honolulu, arriving Feb 5th. Went straight from airport to USCIS ASC. Told security why I was there and I was let through to the registration desk. No other person in the ASC at 9.30am on a Wednesday. They were kind and helpful and allowed me to do a walk-in appointment after I told them I was unable to make my original appointment. Did fingerprints and photo. Was there for 10 minutes. All done.
