I got my 2nd fingerprints done at BHCC on Saturday, me and the wife turned up there about 1.30pm, traffic was real light coming from Wilmington considering the Busch race was on at the time.
There was nobody else there, just the security guard (old man), the fingerprint guy and what was probably the office manager(woman).
They were all sitting watching a tv with a bad signal.
We showed our ID to the security guard and our appointment notice, he starts with "oh but this appointment was for 20 September", we butt in and tell him we got an appointment for the wrong center and the wrong date, he then gives us a form to fill in each and tells us we must go back outside the office and fill in these forms (we reckon it was because we had a 3 year old with us), there is about 30 seats inside the office set up as a waiting area so I found that a bit bizzare.
I got the feeling that this was a real inconvenince to them that we turned up.
So we go outside into the hallway, it is like a mall but only offices instead of shops, and fill in the forms, the wife goes back in first and sits and waits until the fingerprint guys is ready to do her fingerprints, I meanwhile am sitting outside the office looking in thru the glass doors.
Meanwhile another guy turns up to get his fingerprints done and they let him sit inside, he fills in his forms and goes out to get picture ID and goes back inside and sits down to wait his turn, he is now in front of me in line, as I am outsied the office with my filled in form sitting with my child.
Now another guy turns up with his son of about 12 to submitt some application that requires the old ink type fingerprints, the office manger takes care of him, but he is allowed to sit in the waiting area with his son.
My wife comes out and I go in and submit the form and take a seat in the waiting area, the guy who turned up after me now gets called up to do his fingerprints.
Eventually he is done and then it is my turn, the fingerprint guy was having problems getting some of my prints done but finally we got through it.
They signed a copy of our form as proof we were there and that was it we were done.
Probably about 1 hour 15 minutes from when we turned up to when we left.
My wife told me that he was having real problems getting some of her prints done, he would blame the machine, blame the wife for moving her finger or blame me for pressing to hard, he even said to the wife at one point "maybe you will have to come back another day to get them done", my wife was having none of this and told him this was the 3rd time she has been down in Dover for prinnts and basically to get it done.
I would probably guess that if you try and turn up for an early fingerprint at that office they would turn you away.
