Boston ASC
I've had a spot of bother lately, well 6 months of it but that's not important right now!
Anyway I no longer have wheels and am out in sticksville on Cape Ann. I had my third (long story) bios appointment for Rhode Island this Saturday but being transportless can't get to it.
I was thinking of trying to do a walk in at Boston ASC as I can get the train in there with relative ease. Has anyone else tried a walk in, or can anyone tell me what they think my chances are? I was going to try the grovelling like hell approach and just hope for the best.

What time is your appointment on Saturday in RI? Also there was someone who put in a thread about trying to go into Boston for their Bios without an appointment and just walk in. I'm sorry but I can't remember her name or the thread title. I wonder if she managed it.

Was Boston ASC really that busy when you went in? Trains from here only run every 2.5 hours and I've got a five mile hike to the train station so I wanted to know if I should go for it.

Sorry to hear that you are carless ;-( I know you had done a survey a while back about which type of vehicle to purchase.
Is there no place that you can rent a vehicle? Enterprise will deliver to your home so that will save the hassle of a trip to them. What about your husband? Can't you drive him to work (assuming that is where he is going to be because you are without a car) and go to Rhode Island and then be back in time to pick him up?
I would hate for you to miss the third appointment and I'm sure your husband knows the importance of the processing and that continually cancelling a major portion of the process can be detrimental to your petition. You are using the Boston USCIS and you might well have been placed on the list for an interview within the next month of so since they are working at six months from date of filing.
Wishing you luck.

Re: Boston ASC
Sibsie,
I managed a walk-in at the Boston ASC last week. I have read about a couple of other people who did it (in another forum - visajourney.com), so I don't think you should have any trouble. Keep in mind that there's a 1-2 hour wait, even if you already have an appointment. The office is right near North Station, if that's where you're taking the train in.

I was in an out in an hour. They were really really nice and remembered my name and wished me luck on my way out. They didn't even seem to mind when I dragged the line divider thing over and knocked over two chairs as I was leaving!

I'm so glad you got everything taken care of! I hope the car situation gets taken care of soon. Have a great visit with your parents!
