Urgent - Biometrics in USA in USCIS center
- Thread starter ShreeS
- Start date
Just came back, everything went well, it took less than half an hour for both.
We had appointments for 8 and 9 in Houston (me and my wife) and we got in together at 8. They just asked to have an appointment for the day.
They had our numbers so I guess that the appointments that we booked on the "glitchy" website worked!
Good luck to everyone!
Yes you can still schedule an appointment at ASC as long you have your IRCC number/biometrics letter from Canadian immigration. You need to take your passport with you though for the appt.
More details:
We had our own masks, which of course are mandatory; the hand sanitizer is there but we did not use it on our way in (our hands were clean and we did not want to have issues in giving the fingerprints).
We got to the building at 7:45 and we waited in line outside. They came out to check that everyone had an appointment for the day and then they let us in few at the time. Routine questions at the entrance about symptoms etc.
Distance is kept both outside and inside the building and all the personal wears masks, gloves and glasses. Movable transparent screen are placed to keep separation when the picture is taken (the only time in which you are without mask). Everything is cleaned and sterilized after each person.

That's wonderful news. Any idea what how long it takes for the medical request to come through?
What do you mean for "medical request"? Did they ask you to schedule an appointment for the medical exam or did you do the exam already?
We did our medicals before submitting the application on February 22nd and we passed them on March 4th.
Yeah I did the same thing too! My apt is next Monday. I included a letter explaining my situation in the application but Im not sure how things will go after the biometrics. Please keep each other updated!
WOW, Thank you So much @matteosc for your time and effort to let us know all the details. Very Helpful.
