ASC Biometrics

We received notice today that the biometrics appointment will be on June 3rd. Once again, the government is moving very rapidly. Almost everything has been processed or scheduled within one month’s time. The appointment is early morning, right during rush hour, so that means an early wake-up to drive and get there on time.

ASC Biometrics Appointment

I left work at 3PM and after 50 minutes of driving we arrived at the ASC Office. It’s a very clean office and appears new. There was a warning at the bottom of the original appointment notice about the lobby. Specifically, who can and can’t wait inside. Basically, if the applicant needs a person for transportation, then that person can wait in the lobby with the applicant. There were signs everywhere confirming it.

Kristien took a number, got a stamp on her appointment notice, and waited maybe 10 minutes. The biometrics didn’t take long and the staff seemed very helpful. I’m sure the rest of the I-485 processing can now proceed. So, again, more waiting.

Revisiting the SSA

After waiting over four weeks for the social security card to arrive, we decided to re-visit the Administration’s office. Calling is futile. Just schedule an appointment and get it done. It seems there was a delay and the card with Kristien’s new name was never sent. After 25 minutes of waiting and less than five with the clerk, all was cleared up. Time for more waiting.

Driver’s License Test

Kristien took her written test today and passed with only three mistakes. We found some online tests the previous evening and took them all. Thank you, California. Florida offers no such preparation for its test takers. Many of the questions asked on the test were the same as those found online.

After the eye exam and test came lots of paperwork. The paperwork took longer to complete than everything else. Of course, it was busy at the office but appointments are required for Saturday tests. Next comes the driving part of the exam.
