Unsuccessful biometric walk-in

sorry, but I don't think that it should be generally recommended to do walk-ins on biometrics. Appointments are given out for a reason - one

being that the workload of the ASCs stays at a manageable level each day. If everyone would follow your advise there would be chaos at every biometrics place.... may-be you should consider removing your "advise" from the general faq area.

Gotta disagree here.....if you walk in and they are too busy they will tell you to come back on your date; if they are not too busy and they let you come in why not get the bios done??? I just don't see what harm it does. You are the one taking the chance of getting turned away if they are too busy.....it is your time, your risk. Getting another requirement in your control out of the way.....well, the sooner the better in my book.

Good luck to all,

imagine everyone doing what you suggest - imagine there being 100 ppl lined up that happen to want to show up for an unscheduled biometrics... then think again....

Yes, imagine everyone doing it. That would take an incredibly vivid and supremely out-of-whack and illogical imagination approaching the delusional. Sorry, but everyone's not going to do it so the argument is specious. Again, for people who want to wait until their assigned dates, wait. For those who don't, don't worry; everybody won't be doing it and give it a shot.

You are all missing the big picture (and ALL of my posts in this thread!) I'm not against ppl doing the occasional walk-in. I'm against posting it as a general rule in the faq section!

It's you that's missing the picture --- not every post on this thread is in your response to your post about the FAQ section. We get your point but it's not the only point to be made on this thread!

dude... you was quoting me.....

Yes, but specifically about your argument in regard to what if everyone does it. I've seen that argument a number of times here trying to dissuade people from taking a chance at getting biometrics done early. That argument is silly. I agree with you that it shouldn't be in the FAQ

I should have typed that I "don't" agree with you about the FAQ --- two year olds approaching plasma TV screens with outstretched hands are cause for mistakes!

are you trying you insult me?

Not at all. I don't know where you got that from --- maybe from my two year old statement --- it was true; my two year old gets into everything and he was heading for the plasma t.v. --- a big no, no!!!! All I'm saying is that I think people should know that it is possible to get biometrics done before the scheduled appointment, and, if they choose to try it, that's fine. Those that want to adhere to the "letter of the law" and wait until their appointment times, fine, do so. If the people who run the biometric centers choose to let people in before their scheduled appointments, I'm all for it as well. That is all!

We always go in early...have never been turned away. If we DID get turned away, my feelings would not be hurt, and in reality, if they are not too busy to do a walk-in, think about it, it is not affecting the appointment "line" at all. They got done early with apointments up to the time of the walk-in, and have time before the next appointment, or they would not be doing the walk-ins!!!

I am only a half-decade late on this thread, but it bugged me enough to contribute late anyway.

Go early. If it works, it works. More power to you. If not, then get back in line.

'nuff said.
