hehe @MELL8725 - I had to fill out some paperwork and when it was my turn she took my fingerprints (electronic) each hand, each finger and took my picture. And that was all, maybe 5 min max. was super fast and easy.

Hey y'all,
I did my walk-in biometrics today. It went great. They did not even ask me why I was doing it early. The lady that was the receptionist just told the guy there that they had an "early bird" meaning someone coming for an early biometrics. The whole process took about 10 mins. I am glad i tried it because I had to drive 45 minutes to that place and skipped my afternoon class. After the whole process, there was a lady there that explained how i will receive a letter in about 4 week to go to DO for an interview and all other stuff that I knew about ( I did not want to cut her off and I kept listening). She also mentioned that I will get my EAD faster because I did early biometrics.
It was totally worth it to try a walk-in. I am glad a skipped my class just to do it.

Mell8725,
That's exactly the same thing I was thinking about it. I feel so much better about going through this process knowing that so many of us are going through the same thing.
I was very nervous in the beginning because my husband and I decided to do everything on our own and not use a lawyer, but reading all these updates everyday makes me feel so much better and much more confident and less concerned.
Can't wait to get my letter for my biometrics.

@ musicaa
Thank God your RFE is not a serious one. For the purpose of those that might be using this thread as a guide for their application in the future, it will be nice if you can post the detail of your RFE and how you respond to it. This will not only help others avoid the mistake/omittion you made but also help them in responding to it. Thanks and goodluck.
Good Morning everyone,
@Immiresearch - I updated my timeline, the RFE was regarding a missing document. They asked to send in evidence of my lawful admission in the US. Such as a copy of Form I-94 Arrival/Departure Record, Form I-512 with completed arrival stamp, or a copy of the nonimmigrant visa page of my passport.
I sent everything off today and I hope the RFE wont slow my process down too much.
I'm going to attempt my walk in today, wish me luck guys.
Have a great day everyone.
Thanks musicaa and congratulations on your walk-in.

Yes we did induz but frankly am not expecting my interview notice that fast (i wish, hope and pray for it though) because, from what i know, Newark office is always busy. So as long as am still within the average time frame with no problem, it's cool.
Pls. start preparing for the interview from now. With your spouse, starting refreshing your memory about your relationship and the marriage. Dont take anything for granted and document all the piece of evidence you could think of. Hope the success story starts from you and spread to the other members of february thread. I believe your case should be staight forward enough to make the processing fast like that so i think everything should be fine. Goodluck
