Thanks hss_MDdia. I wish you all the best.
I am planning to give early FP/or to to a later date since my family goes to India this week on an emergency and may come back by 24th of Aug.
But I got a suggestion from my attorney too to go as scheduled. I am in confusion and planning now

Thanks for the quick response and info. I had hopes on early FP but now I will have enough evidence before as my family will be out of country by that time. Please post if you have any further info. on Wheaton.
madelief said:the Salisbury ASC on the Eastern Shore has plenty of appointments available. I could schedule for NEXT day!
madelief:
Thanks for your advise but I do not know if I can go to Salisbury ASC. Since my FP notice explicitly says Wheaton. Can you please clarify?
FP code 3 completed
I could go for FP as scheduled at wheaton. The process is simple and staff are really great. We have gone 2 hours before the scheduled time othe officer asked for identification. After we presentd PPs and EAD cards (I do not have Drivers License and was not asked about it), the officer told us to wait to be called early as they are not busy that day. We filled a form and in 2 minutes, we both were called at once.
Since mine is code 3, the following are taken
1. All 10 fingure prints (4+Thumb & 4+Thumb) 2 times. Also individual fingures once.
2. Photo
3. Signature
A young lady who took all above 3 is so nice, cheerful, helpful and explaining. She tended over a small survey/comments paper (To me only. I did not see that she has given it to anybody else incl. my wife... May be random) and told me this is optional and can be completed when leeving the ASC to drop in suggestions box. I did give 'Excellent comments'.
That was a nice experience....

1. I took all immigration documents scuh as I-140 Receipt, Approval,, 485 Receipt, EAD, Passport etc along with ASC Appontment (FP) notice. They verified only two: EAD card and Passport+I-94. They only ask 1 or 2 documents for Identification (with photo). Usually a drivers' licence is an ID (In my case I do not have valid licence).
2. No need to take photos. Based on the FP notice requirement, they will take digital photo if needed (Verify your code on ASC Appointment Notice)
3. No fee. (Remeber we already paid when filing).
4. Well. That depends on many variables such as Priority Date, Center processing times. Any guess is wild guess. My attorney told me it may take 1 to 6 months for me...???)
