Im scheduling my husbands appointments for the day before his interview on the 3rd of oct. one being ASC for finger prints for the background check and the medical exam in one of the options of the juarez clinics, they are on the same day just with 3 hours of difference I was wondering if maybe finger prints at the ASC take probably longer than the medical appointments so I can reschedule maybe... Any advice would be nice please :)

My biometrics for adjustment of status took about an half an hour including the waiting time. Photo + fingerprint were done within several minutes, but it really depends on how  busy it is that day at the ASC

We just went through the appointments in Juarez 3 weeks ago. The ASC appointment is much, much quicker. It took my wife about 10 minutes to get it done. You don't need to show up more than 5-10 minutes before your appointment as there is no line.

 

The medical takes at least 1.5 hours and can end up taking upwards of 2-3. My wife had all her documents in order and had to get 3 shots, it took her 1.5 hours to complete it.

 

Good luck!

FYI just in case you meet the criteria, if you live in CDMX or Estado de Mexico, you can get the medical and biometrics done there
