Biometrics appointment
Good morning guys! I finally received my notice for the biometrics appointment. it’s scheduled for the 08/19. It seems far from now, I’m really tempted to go this week and give it a try! Anybody here knows if the ASC Phoenix is usually busy? Thank you!

John SmithAug 2, 2021
Thanks guys! @jd so they haven’t asked anything from you? that’s great! my office is about 45-50 min drive from where I live so I hope it will work!
John SmithAug 2, 2021
otherwise did any of you come up with a good excuse to go earlier?
John SmithAug 2, 2021
For ASC Phoenix they’re only opened from 7 am till 4pm.
John SmithAug 2, 2021
Thanks! @ellen ellen If I show up and they notice the date and say something, what kind of excuses could work to let me in? if they have to talk to a supervisor?
John SmithAug 2, 2021
@ellen ellen, sounds good! thanks for the advice
John SmithAug 2, 2021
the wait over the phone is longer than just going there lol….. might as well just show up?
John SmithAug 2, 2021
yeah 93 min over the phone lol. I can take the time :) and I have a Prius lol I can drive around the world with a gas tank 😂

i have prepared a good excuse, i told them that we are traveling east coast by that week, incase they will ask.
John SmithAug 2, 2021
@ellen ellen thank you! will do as soon as it’s done!. @jd what do you mean by traveling each coast by….?

when I went for my bio, the security guy had a list of people that had appointment for that day and he crossed my name after he verified my identity. ASC modus operandi varies from center to center but it doesn’t hurt to try.

noy PiAug 2, 2021
east coast! haha
John SmithAug 2, 2021
@seyi so for you you went the right day? not earlier
seyi RAug 2, 2021
yes. the right day
John SmithAug 2, 2021
Biometrics done! they took me in with no issues! waited about 10-15 min and it took 5 minutes for picture/fingerprints/signature. There were just 5 people in front of me!
John SmithAug 2, 2021
Yes! Thanks for the support guys. I was stressing out in the waiting line before they checked my paperwork. The employees were joking and laughing…. really good atmosphere:)
seyi RAug 2, 2021
wow that’s great. you literally just saved yourself 2 weeks.

Now the question is how long does it take to get the status updated?
John SmithAug 2, 2021
Yes, exactly! My visa ends end of September so time is sensitive. I can’t lose my job
Mimi MeowAug 5, 2021
@Nicolas what time did you arrive?
B AkinSep 15, 2021
@Nicolas: How long before your status changed to ready to be scheduled for interview, after biometrics? Also, have you been scheduled for interview yet? I am now in the same situation and just want to get an idea of timeframes.. thanks!
John SmithSep 15, 2021
@B Akin, from what I remember it was about a week later. Yes my interview is this coming Friday
B AkinSep 15, 2021
Congratulations and good luck! 👍🏾
John SmithSep 15, 2021
Thank you! it took about a month and a half between the biometrics and the actual interview
B AkinSep 15, 2021
That’s really good to know. Phoenix ASC is doing well compared to others. Thanks for the info 🙏🏾
John SmithSep 15, 2021
yes! looks like not so many want to be in the heat 🤣
John SmithSep 15, 2021
you’re welcome!
Mimi MeowSep 21, 2021
@nicolas, hows your interview? before your interview did they ask for your medical?
John SmithSep 21, 2021
hey mimi, the interview was really quick and formal. the officer was really nice. she said first thing when I came in, « you have the green card, you’re already approved » lol only documents she asked for me was indeed the i-693
John SmithSep 21, 2021
i had a nice well organized binder but she didn’t want to hear anything about it lol
Mimi MeowSep 21, 2021
That's nice to hear, I only received I-693 request need to be submitted. hope everything is well. congratulations!
seyi RSep 22, 2021
congratulations Nicholas! that’s awesome 👏🏾. did you submit a lot of evidence with your initial application??
B AkinSep 22, 2021
@Nicolas: Congratulations! 🍾 I’m in Phoenix as well, stuck on the “actively being reviewed stage” (biometrics done). Please let me know if you have any tips.
John SmithSep 22, 2021
Hi @Seyi! yes the initial application with pictures had about 300 pages, bank statements etc etc and I had another one since February that was big too. we have quite some assets together so that probably helped
seyi RSep 22, 2021
wow 😯 😯….. that’s a lot. I see why. the IO made a smart decision not to check anything else😂😂😂. my interview is next week and I didn’t submit any evidence with my application (had no idea people could do that🤦🏾‍♀️) fingers crossed 🤞
B AkinSep 22, 2021
@Seyi R: Same here, not much evidence submitted, except that we have a 4yr old together and I sent birth certificates. Good luck with your interview 👍🏾
seyi RSep 22, 2021
thanks. i pray they schedule your interview asap
John SmithSep 22, 2021
yes my attorney told me give whatever you have 🤣
B AkinSep 22, 2021
Amen. Thanks 🙏🏾
John SmithSep 22, 2021
sometimes I think we should all meet and celebrate since we’ve been on the same boat for so long and helping each other with the little we knew :)
B AkinSep 22, 2021
@Nicolas: Absolutely. I’m in 😁
John SmithSep 22, 2021
we’re probably from all across the country 😝 where do we go? 🤣
B AkinSep 22, 2021
Hehehe good question. Don’t know about you lot but it’s been months of being at home doing nothing but check Lawfully and uscis/Reddit. Lots of road trips therefore, so one more wouldn’t hurt 😁
John SmithSep 22, 2021
well I’m working from home full time so same story
seyi RSep 22, 2021
yeah same here ….. can’t wait to put all these anxiety behind me😂😂
seyi RSep 22, 2021
Nicholas did you submit your medicals with your initial application??
John SmithSep 22, 2021
@seyi no I gave it during the interview. I got a deficiency notice at some point.
