Unsuccessful biometric walk-in

[Nanusia & Lukaszek 0]

I'm with Kez on this one, and don't understand why people feel they should even try to do walk-in Biometrics. I mean they schedule you for a reason, right? They try to manage their schedule, and set dates for you to come for... hence why they didn't take you, and a valid reason according to me. We are all eager to get our cases moving, but if everyone started doing this, and showing up just as soon as they knew they could, the messy system would turn into a complete super mess and cause further delays down the line.

Although they probably have a reason for scheduling biometrics of applicants, sometimes their scheduling is not so reasonable. Case in point: my and my son's biometrics schedules. We were given two different appointment dates. It meant I had to miss work twice in one week as the appointments were one day apart. I could have dragged my son out of school during my appointment date and had him do a walk-in biometrics. But, I didn't want to do that and risk having him turned away and told to return on his actual appointment date. If I had known for a fact or through somebody's experience, that our ASC would accept walk-ins, then I would have taken my son along with me during my appointment and saved time and a tank of gas.

I didn't say they were scheduled appropriately, i said there was a purpose/reason why there was a schedule to follow to begin with. I agree that you & your son should have had them the same day, and USCIS goofed and should have done that more logically. I'm talking about people just doing walk-ins and skipping a couple weeks ahead of people that wait like they are told to and follow the rules, that's all.

It would be interesting to see if this skipping in front of line helps anyone in their timelines, or if in the end it makes no difference at all?

sorry, but I don't think that it should be generally recommended to do walk-ins on biometrics. Appointments are given out for a reason - one

being that the workload of the ASCs stays at a manageable level each day. If everyone would follow your advise there would be chaos at every biometrics place.... may-be you should consider removing your "advise" from the general faq area.

I agree it should not be done.... people should just wait for their given appointment date unless they have a real reason for not being able to attend on the correct date...

Gotta disagree here.....if you walk in and they are too busy they will tell you to come back on your date; if they are not too busy and they let you come in why not get the bios done??? I just don't see what harm it does. You are the one taking the chance of getting turned away if they are too busy.....it is your time, your risk. Getting another requirement in your control out of the way.....well, the sooner the better in my book.

Good luck to all,

imagine everyone doing what you suggest - imagine there being 100 ppl lined up that happen to want to show up for an unscheduled biometrics... then think again....

I'm not against the occasional person showing up for unscheduled biometrics for whatever reason, I'm just against posting it as a general rule in the faq section, leaving the impression to everyone that this should be the rule to follow.

The unscheduled biometrics worked for you because you were the exception to the rule, don't forget that.

Then they will just turn you away and those with appointments will be let in.....still don't see the problem.

Yes, imagine everyone doing it. That would take an incredibly vivid and supremely out-of-whack and illogical imagination approaching the delusional. Sorry, but everyone's not going to do it so the argument is specious. Again, for people who want to wait until their assigned dates, wait. For those who don't, don't worry; everybody won't be doing it and give it a shot.

You are all missing the big picture (and ALL of my posts in this thread!) I'm not against ppl doing the occasional walk-in. I'm against posting it as a general rule in the faq section!

Yes, but specifically about your argument in regard to what if everyone does it. I've seen that argument a number of times here trying to dissuade people from taking a chance at getting biometrics done early. That argument is silly. I agree with you that it shouldn't be in the FAQ

I should have typed that I "don't" agree with you about the FAQ --- two year olds approaching plasma TV screens with outstretched hands are cause for mistakes!
