Biometrics at Alexandria, VA ASC

[derekkj 0]

Just a quick update - Derek had his biometrics done at the Alexandria, VA ASC on 1/10 and it was a breeze! He actually showed up at 2pm for a 3pm appointment but was taken early anyway and was out by 2:30. The lady who took his fingerprints had a bit of difficulty with his right hand, but eventually got it. He said that he was impressed with how smoothly the whole process went and a bit amused that most of the workers there seemed to be immigrants too.

Thanks - good to hear. We're heading down to Alexandria next week on the 23 and 24th (yes, they scheduled my appt and my daughter's on diff days I'm bringing her on the 23 in case they can take her and get it over with.

Cheers

It's a good thing they no longer have those huge lines at the Alexandria ASC! I was able to walk in a week before my appointment (had an appointment at one of the offices upstairs in the same building) - the lady at the front desk gave me some attitude but finally allowed me in. Remember: no cell phones!

I have to disagree with this one, at least from my own experience. I just went in today and I waited for almost two hours! After I was done, almost every seat inside was taken and there was also a line of around 30 people outside. Maybe on some other days it goes smoother, but that's what was like on Tuesday.

well, maybe it was a bad day. Sorry to hear that!

But believe me - until last year there was always a long line outside the door and inside was full as well, also difficult to find parking usually. I am a volunteer in one of the offices upstairs in the same building (i.e. I go there on a regular basis) and the situation has improved a lot!
