Biometrics without Appointment

Hey all,

 

So I just found out that members of the military (like myself) are able to go to an ASC and get their biometrics without needing an appointment per the USCIS website https://www.uscis.gov/archive/questions-and-answers-for-members-of-the-military

 

“Active duty military members do not need an appointment and will be accepted on a walk-in basis at any ASC in the United States. Bring your military ID or DEP ID card with you to the ASC.”

 

I know the 751 instructions state that we “might” have to submit biometrics. Should I go my nearest ASC and get them completed even though I have yet to receive a biometrics appointment?

 

My reasoning is that by doing this someone might get an update on my file and get my stalled file moving. Lol. 

 

Quick info of my situation:

 

Applied for ROC to in July 2020.

My service center is California.

My case status has been on “Case Received” since July (like many other WAC July Filers)

 

Thank you all for your help.

The ASC notice also confirms this: "Only military members will be processed as walk-ins."

Great. Glad to hear. But do you think they will still take me even though I have no notice. Technically USCIS hasn’t requested fingerprints from me yet. How would they know what form or case to apply the fingerprints to?
