Aloha,
I wanted to share my experience, as it may be helpful to others that go to the USCIS in Honolulu. Especially those from inner-islands.
***FYI: This was my ROC BIO appt. However, some of this information may be useful for other USCIS visits***
#1) The BIO appt letter says NO CELL PHONES.... I went to my appointment early to ask about this, and the guard said, "oh that's okay, just turn it off, don't use it when your in the room.
#2) Going earlier to your appointment: Honolulu USCIS said, YES ... as long as you have your letter, you can go early. Even DAYS earlier! However, they can't guarantee you'll get in, as it may be busy.
#3) From another island? Take THE BUS!: I'm a huge fan of public transportation, and THE BUS was great. For $2.50, I rode one bus (#20 or #19) from the airport to the USCIS building! It took a 1/2 hr. Of course, riders beware, always always give yourself plenty of time.
#4) Food & Drink: Available at the USCIS location, aka "Restaruant Row". I went to Starbucks (I like their oatmeal, internet & music) 10 min walk, east of USCIS.*Ala Moana & Coral St.
#5) Shopping: Why not! 20 mins. east of USCIS, Ala Moana & Ward.
More restaurants & there's a Ross.
#6) Travel FLYING & other: From Maui to Oahu, this trip I tried Island Air, for the first time and was very satisfied with their service. I usually fly Hawaiian Airlines, but the cost was way more than Island Air. So I got a great deal, their holding areas are awesome; TONS of outlet towers to charge your electronic devices. Once you land in HNL, walk over to the Interisland Terminal (Hawaiian Airlines), 2nd Level, to catch THE BUS. Stop is on the median, far end, 2nd Level. $2.50 have exact change. #19 or #20 to Waikiki hotels. On the way back, take the #19 or #20 Airport.
I hope this info is helpful.
