I recently went in for my biometrics appointment and I must say the service was excellent. There weren’t many people there at the time, and the process was very quick and efficient. My appointment was scheduled for 12:00 PM, but I arrived around 11:45 AM. I had a key ring with a small knife on it, and security asked me to remove it before entering, so I had to step out and take care of that first. I would definitely advise not bringing any knives (even small ones on keychains) or unnecessary items. Also, be sure to carefully follow all security instructions, especially when they ask you to remove electronics. Overall, the process was smooth. If you arrive a little early, they may allow you to go in early as long as everything is in order. Just follow the instructions, be prepared, and it should be a quick experience.
Literally the best experience at a government office. Clean, quick, friendly. Let us come early and told us where we can get beignets after. We were so nervous, but this was so unexpectedly smooth. Thank y’all for your hard work!
Very nice people just everywhere. It was also pretty empty so we were in and out within a couple minutes.
Always had good experiences going there for different immigration appointments. Security and staff were always polite and respectful.
As the elevator doors opened, I saw the silhouette of a almost universal symbol for the American dream. The Statue of Liberty stood before me, and as I walked into the United States customs and immigration services office, I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe and wonder for what I was doing. I was living The American Dream. The security officers here where extremely polite, charismatic, and helpful. The clerks and the entire staff was extremely professional, and made the process of getting fingerprinted absolutely delightful. While I was in the waiting room, I conversed with a gentleman from Scotland, Cuba , and Mexico. Myself, born in Canada, felt right at home in the ethnic melting pot. I have traveled hundreds of thousands of miles, lived on 3 continents, and have finally begun the process of becoming an American citizen. What a blessing. I look forward to the next time that I see that beautiful lady liberty.
