Hi ppl,
Couple of days back i had posted requesting all to post their FP experiences at ASC, Newark. Nobody shared. Anyway here is my experience.
FP:Scheduled for today at 9:00 a.m
Started from home (Edison,NJ) at 7:10 a.m.
Reached Commerce St, Newark at 7:45 a.m.
Parked at a Parking lot on Commerce St (very close to the ASC). There are a lot of parking garages. Also there are meter parking on the same street but all were taken.
Got to the ASC entrance and it was closed with around 30 people (not everybody for FP some were GC renewals) in line waiting outside in the cold.
They opened the doors at 8:00 a.m. and started letting people in.
They checked your FP letter and let you in. Then there is another line where they again check your passport and FP letter and give you a pad with a form on it and let you into the office. Nice and warm inside. Filled the form for me and me wife and then got into the line that said FP line.
Was called and they checked the notice and ID(passport) and checked my hands. Then was given a number and asked to have a seat. My number was called in 5 minutes and a gentleman escorted me to his table.
I noticed that there were 2 kinds of FP being done. One was computerised and one on a piece of paper. Well I was called by a gentleman who had the old paper thingy. He scanned the barcode on the FP notice and my info popped up on his computer. He then printed out a sheet and then did my FP on that sheet by rolling each of my finger in ink first and then into nice squares on the paper. Did with all fingers and thumbs. Then did all 4 fingers of both hands together. Went to a lady and showed her the results and came back to take my right ring finger and the pinky finger again. And then said i am all set. Gave me back the form that i had filled when i entered the building.
Wife went to a computerised FP and told me the process is same except its taken directly into the computer without ink and after scanning the finger the computer says pass. She was done soon too.
Were out of the building at 8:50 a.m.
Hope this helps all the Newark,NJ FP people and will encourage others to share on this wonderful board.
