Our biometrics appointment is supposed to be on Nov 19 but since it's my husband's day off,i told him to try our luck and just go there,and so we went.inside,there was no single soul,just the guard and the 2 old uscis people.the one who assisted us was an old lady,i handed her our biometric letters and explained that we just tried to walk in because my husband just started his job last sunday and cant take a leave yet,she rudely told us that today is not nov 19,and she cant do it,my husband told her that we just tried our luck and we didnt mean to piss her off, if she cant do it then we will just leave and come back on the appointment date.while looking at the biometric letters,she asked for the orig letter,i told her that we sent back the orig letters to Boise ID and requested a transfer here in New Mexico since we're already residing here,they just sent us a photocopy of the new appointment letter,she also asked me if i was the one who wrote the apartment number,i replied No and told her that i will not tamper any govt documents,i even suggested for her to call the USCIS office at Boise.She told me that she's just giving us a warning otherwise we will be in trouble,she even asked me if we have a lawyer,i answered that we didnt need a lawyer.after those interrogations,she handed me and my son a form to fill up,afterwards she took our passports and had us proceeded to the old guy for the finger scanning and picture taking,the old lady was the one who did my son's which just took less than 3mins,while i was assigned to the old guy,who after scanning my left hand,he got a phone call and had me waited for 15mins because he had to go measure the window :blink: and talk to somebody on the phone.the old lady was the one who finished my scanning and had my photo taken,afterwards she handed me my passport and the apointment letter back.i thanked her for accomodating us but never said a word and didnt even acknowledged me.anyway,eventhough he pissed of my husband for being rude to us but i told him to keep his cool since they're doing us a "favor" by getting our biometrics done earlier,at least we're done with our biometrics.... :)
