I have read cases where people did walk-ins. Those I read about were all successful, but do not take it for granted. You may be turned away depending on how busy that particular day would be. I tried walking in on my interview and almost made it :dancing:

Thanks for the reply huy_le.

I guess I'll just take my chances and walk-in a day before my appointment date. The worst thing that can happen anyway is for them to turn me away and tell me to come back on my scheduled day. The only reason I want to do a walk-in is because i have a final exam in school the same day as my biometrics appointment day.

How I wish I could also just walk in on my interview… Lol!

Has anyone tried walking-in at any ASC before?

Lots of people try. Many are allowed in without questions... many are only allowed in with an excuse (for example proof of travel on the scheduled date)... some are turned away.

I just did walk-in bio in Texas yesterday. Just try and try. This was my second try. First time they said they were very busy second time no questions asked. In fact I went to a different ASC than the one shown on my notice.

This morning around 930 am I went to ASC at Riverside, CA. My original biometrics appointment date is April 15 but I decided to go today and see if i could do a walk in. When i got there, security told me they were very busy. She told me to come back around 3pm and hopefully it wont be busy. At 130 pm i came back and asked her again. She asked for my GC and letter then gave me a clipboard and number. Long story short, i was able to do a walk-in biometrics 2 days ahead of schedule. Does this mean my application overtook hundreds (if not thousands) of other applications? Or the processing time still goes by the application/receipt date?
