Doesnt matter. I mean you have to go there anyways to do it. Just have a perfectly good excuse if they ask you why you came in early!
Best wishes!

You should get your in a couple days of receiving your notices. Dont worry you are gonna get it soon!
Yeah, no kidding! My husband tells me to just leave it for a while and check after two weeks. I am like, "what if it gets updated tomorrow?". I must be going crazy.

Hi everyone!! I just wanted to update you: I successfully did a walk-in in Seattle, WA! The people there were very friendly, and this is kind of how it went:
I walked to the counter to get a number. I filled out the biometrics sheet. Once the number was called, I gave them the letter and they immediately looked at the date. The girl said "Oh, your appointment isn't today..." And I replied, "My dad's appointment was today and I came with him to be his 'carpool', so I thought I'd give this a shot". She took the letter and said that if there were any gaps she'd call me in. At this point I got a little scared because the place was pretty packed, even though we showed up before they even started calling people in (the place opens at 8am, my dad's appointment was at 8am, but we got there at 7:40am). But!! At around 9:10 they called my name
It was the quickest thing, although it did take us a bit longer than usual because they had to do a name check (we are only using one last name in the applications, although we have two last names on our birth certificate and Washington ID).
Hopefully that's helpful to someone. Good luck to everyone!!

No not crazy. Once you started this process you tend to develop complulsive obsessive disorder!

Mimi, thanks a lot for ur reply!
Looks like your status was on "initial review" when you received the biometrix? because like i said, my i130 is on"initial review" but my i485 status is still on "acceptance" stage.... i'm starting to worry because on the uscis site it says:
"The acceptance step is typically completed within 2 business days of when the application is received. With mail time it may take several weeks for you to get the receipt or rejection notice in the mail. If you do not receive your notice within 30 days of mailing your application, please contact our national customer service center at 1-800-375-5283."
Should i give them a call ? or is it normal to be in "acceptance" stage for that long ?
thanks again, also for LUD, is that an email ?
THANKS AGAIN

Once you have received the receipts and given receipt numbers and not a rejection notice then USCIS has accepted your application regardless of what the online status says. If you had gotten a rejection notice you would not be able to see your cases online,Mimi, thanks a lot for ur reply!

LUD- Last updated status is when USCIS send an email or text message to you stating that your case has been updated.

Thats the most important thing.
