New Rochelle, NY biometrics experience

[infomon 0]

Hi all,

Just thought I would share my husbands experience getting his biometrics done in New Rochelle, NY.

His appointment was on 8/18/07 on Sat at 12pm. We live only 15-20 minutes away from the location fortunately, but to be safe we went earlier. The location of the biometrics in New Rochelle is in the downtown area and it's quite busy around there. Parking is available on the street - parking meters of course. You might have to look for parking a little but, it's not too bad - at least it's not Manhattan. I didn't end up parking though, I just dropped my husband off at around 11:15am. We expected the biometrics office to be in a building similar to a post office or other big federal looking building, but it was just a small place next to some regular shops. So my husband, Leo, goes in and shows his appointment letter, and they gave him a form to fill out. He had to write in his A# (which is found on your appointment letter) and his name and place of birth, stuff like that. He was then directed to a table to get a number. Leo says the place was just like one big room (the size of a deli or something) with a wall separating half of it. One half of the room was where the fingerprinting/photographing took place. And the other half of the room was where Leo sat and waited for just practically a minute. There weren't many other people around. He was called up right away. He says the man/officer was pleasant, did his thing - prints and photo and then Leo was given an evaluation card to fill out about his experience there. The whole thing took about 10-15 minutes total. Not too shabby I must say :-)

Regards,

Lisa

Hiya,

No my husband doesn't have his SSN# yet. I guess he will be able to apply for one when he hopefully gets either his EAD or green card. If you don't have an SSN# now, I wouldn't worry about it, especially for the biometrics. At the biometrics, you will need to write in your USCIS A#(this number is on your appointment letter) on the form they will give you to fill out when you are there.

Just remember to bring your ID and your appointment letter. That's all my husband needed at least. Perhaps get there a little earlier just in case. Maybe you will get as lucky as Leo and they may take you in earlier.

Much luck to you tomorrow, most likely, it'll be really quick and painless, so don't worry too much :-)

Regards,

Lisa
