I have a bio appointment scheduled for 9/2 and found out today that I won't be able to make it because I will be traveling with work For the next 4 or so weeks. My normal location where I am today is literally a 10 minute walk from the ASC I need to be at so I was thinking of attempting a walk-in appointment. I even get out early today (1pm) so it allows me the time to go and do it.

However, I don't want to do it if it is looked down upon and will jeopardise my application or anything like that. I know it won't speed anything up which is fine I just don't want to reschedule only to get another appointment that I won't be able to mkae because I am still on the assignment and I assume putting the bio off is only going to lengthen the process.

So my question is this... Does it jeopardise anything to do a walk-in and would I benefit from it or should I just sit tight and reschedule and hope I can make the next appt? I know a lot of people do walk-ins successfully I just don't know if there is a potential negative outcome. The worst that could happen is they turn me away or are rude to me right?

I have about 2 hours to decide what I am going to do.. :whistle:

It's not seen in a negative light at all. They may turn you away, especially if busy, but that has no negative effect on your app either.

I agree, the worst that could happen is that they say no, but you can give it a try and it won't have any negative effects on your application.

I walked in for my biometrics at the Milwaukee Office, and they let e do them. Like jkelly07 said, just make sure you bring all your documents and appointment letter.
