I've did it for my greencard, but it's depends on how busy they are. You must have FP notice 'in hand' before attempting it.

Update - Received FP notice. Will probably try an early walk-in but not sure which day yet as work in busy.

No go on the walk-in (will have to re-schedule work to make original appointment).
They were busy and down a fingerprint technician. A very nice IO was willing to re-schedule my appointment to a later, more convenient time but I told her I would change my work schedule. She could only re-schedule to a later time as they need at least 2 weeks to generate a new notice.
She couldn't find my current FP notice in the system (just my old ones from initial GC and removal of conditional applications) when she tried to re-schedule the appointment, so even if they'd allowed the walk-in, I'm not sure if they could have associated the FPs with the application properly!
Based on the fact it took nearly 1 month from application acceptance to FP notice, I think Portland DO is probably backed up, especially as the N400 non-military prending numbers have been increasing steadily since September and the average processing time is 0.3 months above national goal & average. By comparison, Seattle's pending numbers are pretty steady and I'm seeing fast processing times (around 90 days) based on forum posts.

Completed FP today. 1pm appointment. Arrived at 12:45, was out by 1:15.
As there's no order to appointments within a batch, make sure to sit near the desk (far right corner from where you entered) where you'll hand in your completed paperwork when called and get a numbered card. There were about 10 people in my batch and the process takes about 5-7 mins (had to rescan a couple of prints).
Everyone I dealt with was polite and efficient.

It's taking longer than I would have hoped. I'm travelling overseas mid-July for 3 weeks, so was hoping to get an interview before then.
Based on the progress so far, I suspect I'll get an interview date in the middle of my trip and have to re-schedule!

I sent in my application
5/5/11 - received note that application received
5/8/11 - received LETTER that check was cashed
my question is that I would like to go on vacation for a week within the US in early september. Will this interrupt anything? I'm thinking in 4 months it will hopefully be time for oath ceremony...can that, or anything, be rescheduled?? thanks so much for your help.

sxh168, best see what interview dates GC2NATZ and I get (hopefully in the next month or 2) to have a better idea of processing time for Portland DO. Looking at the stats on uscis.gov, the processing times have improved for Feb (from 5.3 to 5 months), so your timing looks close.
There's not a lot of tracking info for Portland, OR DO on the forums, so I have to assume there's nothing too abnormal in processing times.

This is great. My timeline is about 1 month behind you. So I should probably expect an interview around the mid to end of July I guess, that sync's up well with the 5 yr anniversary.

Finished our fingerprinting yesterday. Place was pretty empty. Appointment @ 11, went there at 10:30 thinking, it would be difficult to find a parking spot (had a hard time finding a parking spot for our I485 finger printing process), but there was a lot of metered spots open on 15th. Called in @ 10:45 and we where out at 11:00. pretty neat. Now the waiting for interview letter starts. I have to make an international travel in June, hopefully no interview during that period.

Has anyone had luck with early walk ins for the fingerprinting here in Portland?
I'm also a little nervous--I'm supposed to go and volunteer as a nurse in Guatemala just after Christmas, and I'm worried I won't have my passport by then. Ideas?
No Captcha
You can try for an early FP, but it's a bit hit and miss (see my note earlier)
Your time line if off - is your FP date 7/30 rather than 6/30? You day numbers overall look wrong. Did you apply 06/05? If so, your application is already moving pretty fast.
Based on the other current timelines here and elsewhere, you'll probably be fine without an early FP, the total time is around 5 months at the moment.

Nope, I applied on the 6/5 and the fingerprint date is 6/30. I was surprised when I got the letter--I was expecting the FP date to be mid July ish. Hopefully this means that the process is moving along pretty quickly.
