I created a log-in especially to thank the original poster - bunnybaby. The ASC assigned to me is Montebello in greater Los Angeles. I had a biometrics scheduled. However I had to be out of town on that day due to prescheduled office work. I went a week early to try and see if they can do something. This guard dude who has been there forever was rude. He flatly declined. I said fine, reschedule. 9 weeks. No case update. No letter. USCIS sucks when you move away from their 'automated process'. For 9 weeks there was nothing, zilch, nada, zero update.
After reading post here, I gave the Wilshire ASC a try. I was in and out in 20 mins. I also work in downtown LA so it was a breeze for me to take a 15 min walk and not worry about parking. The ASC was very good. Friendly staff, no questions asked and no hesitation. They acted as if they were pleased to see me there. I wonder why the difference when they all work for the same USCIS.
The Montebello centre also sucks for congestion and parking. I hate to go there and I hope I won't have to see that place anymore. It's not too clean either. The Wilshire office is great and for a change nice to see smiling workers. I did not see this post earlier so didn't know about Wilshire ASC. Wish I had seen this post earlier. After I got the biometrics done, I promptly received a case update.
