AOS in Orlando

Please come and share your experiences.

My husband has his biometrics on Semoran Blvd on Tuesday.

Our interview was really quick. We did get a request for evidence for a link to our PO Box, showing we had our current address on record.

Titling this biometrics instead of AOS would get you better responses.

I know biometrics in Tampa/Brandon was TERRIBLE, but that might not be the case in Orlando.

I had biometrics on Semoran. The staff were pleasant but sticklers for forms and process. I was probably in and out in about 15 minutes.

Oh.... the office is a bit hard to locate in that plaza. When you first drive in you'll see a huge sign over a building saying something about immigration medicals. Don't go to that building. lol. It's actually an office in the back alley to the left of there. Pay attention to the unit number because there's a few immigration-type offices in that plaza.

Krikit,

We only have to bring the letter about the biometrics appt and an ID for my husband, correct?

The reason for opening this topic was to start a thread for people living in the Orlando area. This is not only about biometrics but the interview too.

If you live in this area and want to share information/ask for advice - this is for you

Krikit,

Yes, he just needs to bring the appointment letter and his ID. The only thing they omit in the "You Must Bring" section is the marriage certificate to show the legal name change (for those of us who have changed our last names). I did not have mine with me and they made me drive home and back (which isn't exactly across town) before they would let me in. This was just the Orlando office. Others did not have that problem at different offices. But we all know that consistency is not exactly a priority with USCIS.

I just remembered something, Bora Bora. They will stamp your husband's appointment letter and return it to him when he's done. This really confused me because I was not used to them returning any documents, let alone the originals. But this is normal practice so not to worry.

Krikit,

I reread your post this morning before heading out to the biometrics appt. Thanks for the help.

We were in and out in about 20-25 minutes. The lines moved fast and efficiently. It was simple.

Hello!

I am in Orlando too!! I didn't know there were others on the board in Orlando. I am silently waiting for my interview letter. I think they are processing Sept. 2006 cases at the moment so I should be getting one soon. Actually my 2 year anniversary is June 24th 2007 so I'm hoping the interview is after that and I get a 10 year card.

I hope your interview is scheduled soon
