Got my fingerprinting done at Newark ASC 9/12/2000.
Got there around 9am and there is a security officer at the
door who asks you to fill out the Applicant Information Worksheet.
She won\'t let you be on the line if you don\'t fill this out. You can\'t
even fill it out while waiting on line. You can be on the line after
you filled it out basically. I got this all filled out ahead of time
by my lawyer so it save me few minutes. Anyway, I really didn\'t see use of this
worksheet, but it is like a receipt that you got your fingerprinting
done at Newark ASC, because it has a stamp/date/initial of an officer.
By the way, if you get there around when I was there or later you may
see lots of people waiting at the door. Don\'t worry about that and
just move upto the beginning of the line and tell the security officer
that you are here for fingerprinting then he/she will let you in. Other folks who are there
waiting at the door might have some time reservation for something
so the guard won\'t people in who are there early.
Inside ASC, there are two lines at ASC, make sure you ask the security officer
that you are here for fingerprinting and ask for which line
to get on. When I was there it was the gray one.
This line is basically to get a waiting number. At the end of the line
an officer checks for your original notice, photo ID (driver\'s license or passport),
and that worksheet. Then you get a number and wait until they call you.
When I got called, a lady asked me to wash my hands then she
started fingerprinting all my fingers. Painless, except that she
was twisting my hand vigorously to get the fingerprints. Otherwise,
painless experience.
Waiting on line to get the waiting number - ~1 hour
Waiting to be called - ~10 minutes
Fingerprinting process - ~15 minutes
I was out of there by 11am, so whole thing took about 1 1/2 hour.
It was better than I thought, more organized that DMV visit.

My lawyer said the approval should be in 6-9 weeks after fingerprinting in
current pace. He basically assured me that I will get my approval this year.
Well, we will see.
Hope this helps.
