Trying to see if anyone has successfully done a walk-in appointment for biometrics at an ASC that's different than their jurisdiction. Bonus points if you were able to do the walk-in appointment at the Honolulu ASC. Please share your experience! Thanks

Not for n400 but for an adjustment of status I did a walk-in at the ASC Different from my jurisdiction.
 

They were fine with it and asked me to show them the proof as to why I was going to a different ASC prior to my appointment date. I had to show my flight tickets and tell them that I was leaving the state for a month. Only then did they allow me to do the biometrics. 
They turned away a person who did a walk-in after me because he didn’t have a valid reason to be there before his appointment date.

Thanks for your feedback, this is great advice! I'll definitely bring some sort of proof to show why I'm at the different office. Out of curiosity, how long ago did this happen with you?
