early FP experience

As this forum was so helpful for me, I thought I would add my experience.
I am the derivative applicant for AOS, we moved in August and recieved confirmation for our change of address. My FP notice was sent to my Attorney (I never got a copy) and was scheduled for my old ASC for Jan. My husband did not recieve a notice.
we got the letter form our attorney and went to Charlotte ASC yesterday. Notice says that if we need to rescedule it has to be wed or sat- called the service center and they said that I can go only on the appointment date for FP at my local office.

anyway- got to charlotte at 2.45 pm, thought we would try that day although we were planning on staying overnight and going next day at opening. The security guard did not look at the date, or the sceduling office- we asked if hubby could get FP too- he said 'no leter no FP". So when I went to the actual FP person, I asked again, and showed a copy of my husbands application reciept. They took his info into a room to check up, then said yes he could FP too!!!! the whole thing took about 45 mins and we both came out with early FP's.

When we got home, there was an email form our attorney saying my husbands FP notice was recieved that day !!!! My attorney was also surprised that we got FP's early and for my husband too- said they had never heard of that.

Without this forum, we would still be waiting- go to charlotte and try for early FP's- these guys rock !!!!!

I got FP notice and I should appear on 1/13/05. However my wife did not received the FP notice even thought both of our status message changed in USCIS website.

Can you please tell me at what address you gave Finger prints. I am planning to goto Charlotte on 12/18/04 around 10am. Do i have to go around lunch time. Hope my wife gets her FP notice tomorrow.

thanks in advance

Not so in Wheaton, MD

My wife and I just had our 2nd FP yesterday. We went early on Saturday but the security would not let us in, even that there were no one else. Just a piece of advice for those who want an early FP in Wheaton, Maryland - Forget it!!!

Hi GCNC,
sorry I did not reply sooner- the charlotte address for fingerprints is:

4801 Chastain Ave
Charlotte, NC 28217-2113

exit 6B off I77. easy to find. You can go anytime you want to- they are open from 8-4 pm tues-sat. Several other posters have commented that early in the AM can be busy, but if it is busy they have been told to come back later. I went late in the afternoon and was suprised how empty it was.

word of advice though, The security guy at the front will probably say no to spuse getting FP done without letter, but the fingerprint people are nice if you explain the situation and are polite.

good luck!!
 
I got my early FP done (12/18) without any problems. Charlotte office is very friendly and i got it done without any problem even though there is huge crowd on that day

I suggest you go after 11PM to get early FP. ASC will be closed on 12/25/04 and 1/1/05
