I went to the one on Broadway and I believe I went around between 2 and 3 pm both times.  So well enough after the lunch time rush, and well in advance of closing.  It's possible that I got lucky; however, they were so friendly and didn't seem to mind that I showed up early.  I guess it couldn't hurt you try it ... unless of course, you live really far away.  

Actually I live in Lincoln Park, so Broadway center is the best place for me. My original appointment is at Norridge, which is 1 hr driving.

I will try it on an afternoon as you suggested.  Thank you!

We did walk in bio at Norridge center with no problem.

I wish I knew that Norridge allowed walk-ins! My bio was in Indianapolis, but more convenient for me to be in the Chicago area. I decided to go to the Naperville one because I had been there five years before for the GC, even though Norridge was closer, but wasted an hour driving, walk-ins no longer allowed there.

Processing times for Chicago FO seem to have moved forward about 3-4 weeks.

At least this is something:).  I'm an end of March filer but hoping you early March filers hear something soon.

Progress is positive. I was worried it would only be a week or two! If i got done in 7 months id be delighted . Lets go Chicago and get our March filers done!

For some reason this link is not opening for me. Can you please tell me what progress the Chicago office has made?

I wonder if the process is going to be longer for those of us who are changing their names? I filed with changing the spelling of my first name. What are your thoughts, guys?

I did read before that the oath scheduling can take longer for a name change. I think that was on an older Chicago thread

I will keep that in mind. Thank you!

Just saw on the monthly processing thread that Chicago had 1500 less applications received in Qtr 3 v's Qtr 2. That HAS to speed things up surely!
