Biometrics dates for plastic card

[luckyandcurious]

I got a biometics notice (I-797C) today for plastic cards. It says Code2 and also appointment date is 11/23/05.

1) Can I take an appointment earlier than this and goto ASC, is it OK?
Does anybody have experiences going earlier than the specified date?

2) Code2: will they take my picture over there, or I have to bring the photos?

3) Usually how long it takes to get the plastic cards after biometrics from NSC?

Any references (threads) would help me...

thanks for your help

1) Can't tell you for sure, but I do not think you can go in earlier. I am sure somebody on this forum tried, maybe they can give you a different suggestion.

Yes, it depends on the ASC office, the how much crowded and officer's mood.
Some succeeded and some did not. If you have time and ASC office is close to your home/office, it's not going to harm to just walk-in and try. Normally early morning (when office opens) most of the offices remain crowded (or people are waiting). If you go little bit late and you are lucky, you can get it through.
