A few questions about the USCIS ASC (Application Support Center)

[magicant 11]

I have a few questions about the Bronx, NY USCIS Application Support Center that I thought I would ask here.  I tried searching and was not able to confirm answers.

 

I know that each support center may be different and have different rules, but any help would be appreciated.

 

My wife has her biometrics appointment coming up at the Bronx, NY location, and I had these questions:

 

1.  I assume there is no designated parking and I will need to try and find street parking or a public parking lot?

 

2.  Will I be allowed to go in with her?  I’ve read some places let you and some don’t.  If not, and I have to wait outside, anyone know where the nearest public rest room is?  Lol  I’ve had my share of times not being able to find a bathroom in the city.

 

3.  Are cell phones allowed in the building, in the waiting area, or if turned off and stored away?  I’ve read some places let you, and some do not.  The letter says "cell phones, cameras, or other recording devices are not permitted".  So not sure if that means not allowed inside at all and  I do not want to leave cell phones in a parked car.

 

 

Thank you for any help you can offer.

since the site says parking info is not available

i would take a taxi or use the transit that is mentioned on the above page

 

and when it says no cell phones,  it means no cell phones allowed

While you wait from people attending that facility, my responses assuming it to be no different than the one in Queens,

1. Street parking or can park in the nearby mall area. Being in the city, it’s always better to take the public transit.

2. Use restrooms in nearby mall area if you are not allowed in.

3.cellphones turned off in the pocket/bag. In Queens’ ASC, the security guy was in fact telling everyone to keep the phone turned off, like “i see you use the phone and you are kicked out.”
