It seems to me that there's a pattern, personal observation, the average wait time from when you send your application to your bio metrics appointment is roughly a month, from your appointment till being approved its roughly another month. My question is, for those who attempted a walk in and succeeded and are now accepted did the walk in speed up your process or do you think they just file it away and send it according to appointment. Say your appointment is 12/12 but you go 12/6 do they send it as people get bio metrics done or by scheduled time, in this case they would just hold it for 6 days and send it on the day your appointment was? I know it is case by case review blah blah blah maybe it isn't a factor, but experiences from some of you are helpful. Because I don't really have a excuse like "i wont be in town" or anything but I'm anxious and just want to go because I feel it would speed it up hahah THANKS!

walk in was successful today, 10 days ahead of scheduled time showed up at around 2 pm. The guy was real chill he just asked why was i there today told him im just trying to get it done with asap. walked in and there was 7 numbers ahead of me. the lady taking my biometrics was real cool too told me "you'll be receiving your EAD in the mail soon" hahah hell yea! from here out I wait. hopefully within a month im approved. Also walk in prepared!!! it seemed like he wasnt going to let me in and was trying to find an excuse not to let me in but i had left everything in the car except for the notice and ID so getting through security was a breeze. lastly the lady doing my fingerprints also scared the shit out of me saying stuff like "we got you know if you ever do anything stupid we have your fingerprints!"

I thought I saw something like that on someones timeline, but I did see someone talking about it actually slows you down.... I don't think so but ehhh from what I've seen walk ins hasn't hurt anyone's case. I will be attempting a walk in on Friday at the El Monte center, any tips or good excuses I could use to get away with it? My appointment is 12/17.
