Got biometrics appointment letter this past Friday the 8th. The appointment was set for 02/26/13, but I've read at the Northwest Center in Houston, TX they allow walk-ins so we decided to go right away this Monday morning. I just asked the receptionist if my husband could do his appointment today. They weren't bothered at all by it and everybody was very nice. There was nobody waiting. We walked in and out in 5 minutes. I'm glad that went quickly and is done now. smile.gif

Got 4 letters from USCIS today! The 3 letters AND my appointment notice for biometrics. All mail arrived on the same day - wow that was fast! My biometrics appointment is for Seattle on March the 8th, but I am wondering if I can walk-in early too. Time to investigate previous experiences there if I can find that post somewhere that I recall seeing...
