We got our letters and the checks were cashed 13 days after we sent in our applications, definitely out of the "7-10 day window", so don't worry :) (although I know it's hard not to freak out sometimes)

NYC's main USCIS office on Varick St. Walked in around 3pm (they close at 4). The security guard in the downstairs entrance mentioned that walk-ins are usually only accepted on Wednesdays (I guess it's their version of open hours), but that I could go up and see if they'd be kind enough to take me in.

Once upstairs, I asked nicely and after checking with her supervisor she went ahead and processed me. Just be really nice and catch them when they're slow (they were absolutely deserted at 3pm). If not you can try on Wednesday during their "walk-in hours".

But really, everyone I interacted with in their office was really friendly and helpful (surprise, right?).

Good luck AussieMark.

Don't want to mislead you, but I did hear from the security guard that Wednesday was their walk-in day (today!).

Either way, it's a 20 min subway ride from Queens so it doesn't hurt to try, right?

Good luck Melana.

Can't answer that on behalf of the district office, but like I said, you've got nothing to lose, right?

I don't think location matters because the website says that you should go to whatever is closest to where you are, not necessarily the address on the letter. Let us know how it goes and best of luck!

I'm also thinking about doing a walk-in in Seattle but I haven't heard of anyone successfully doing it here, so it makes me a little nervous (it's far from where I live)...

so I did walk-in today at Varick st. they said they might not accept me because i was supposed to go do it in Queens, but once I got in, i had no problem.
i spent there 15 minutes total, as there was no line but they couldn't process my left hand prints for some reason. she said I had the smallest fingers she's ever seen lol
good luck to you, guys :)

I'd like to do a walk-in at Boston, MA. But I also haven't read anyone doing it. Anyone with insight? I'd like to get this over and done with, and maybe get my EAD sooner. Noting that the I-765 was mentioned in the fingerprinting appointment letter, I'm assuming I won't get it till after fingerprinting.
