biometrics appointments
Charleston Application Support Center (ASC)
Handles biometrics appointments (fingerprints, photographs, digital signatures) for pending immigration cases.
This is NOT the USCIS Field Office
The Application Support Center handles biometrics only (fingerprints, photos, digital signatures). Your immigration interview will be at the Charleston USCIS Field Office at 1821 Sam Rittenberg Blvd — about ½ mile away on the same road.

- Walk-ins are generally not accepted without prior approval or emergency situations.
- Your immigration interview will be at the Field Office (1821 Sam Rittenberg), not at the ASC.
