Im think I figured it out - Page 3

USCIS guarantees to adjudicate your case within a certain time because they have done the projections and have the sufficient task force to do so--that's why they hired extra employees, so that DACA beneficiaries could have their EADs within 4-6 months.

For example if ur appointment is on the 30th, but u do it today then u are vacating ur appointment for the 30th and getting in with the 22nd ppl. This does not mean that u are taking someone's spot as they are still doing their appointments. It means u are cutting the line which means the people behind u may be affected.

Fuck all this, I'll be back in a week.

I for one think at worst its a minimal delay, and will most likely affect people without an appointment yet. As innocent as cutting in line may be, it still affects others. I personally dont mind, cuz i didn't expect anything until next year, so the speed of the process has vastly exceeded my expectations. If im fine before December im going ape shit crazy.

Now as pointless as this thread is, and as useless as i believe the info provided is (its just a guess by him) i will play my usual role as the devil's advocate of these forums. If u think about it carefully, USCIS made their timetable and divided their workforce. Now if they expected to have X number of biometrics completed weekly, they would expect to have to go through X number of cases per week. However with the the flood of walk ins they have been having, they now have X(y) number of biometrics done that for week 1's schedule which was only expecting X number of biometrics.

Put it this way...lets day 50% of the scheduled appointments are being done early via walk ins that would drastically slow down the system. Maybe a math wiz can come in here and make a nice formula for me...i used to be a math wiz, but have been outta school for quite some time. I digress...

Week 1. They expect 100 biometrics results so they divide their workforce to tackle 100 packets. However, because 50% of the individuals scheduled for week 2 decided to do a walk in now they have 150 cases to review instead of 100 for week 1. Now remember they ONLY have the resources to tackle 100 applications.

Week 2. Now they have the 50 remaining from week one, plus the 50 that waited for their appointment in week 2, and at this point word begins to spread that walk ins may speed up ur application (perhaps even to the detriment of the person in front of u). Now u have perhaps an even greater percentage of individuals doing walk ins (say 70%). I dont know how accurate my math is, but u can clearly see how an influx can mess up the schedule and slow down the process.

Now this is just a guess, and i really dont think that's the case. However it's not a statement i can completely shun, because there is some common sense to it and it can hold up if u think about it logically.

So do ur walk ins, ill wait my turn...i've waited this long already.

That's OP's argument, people getting their shit before he does. There's no slowing down like I have explained previously, you are just getting your shit before they do and it pisses them off.

At the end of the day if u qualify then u qualify and that's that. Also the people who already have their appointments scheduled wont be affected. This may delay those without an appointment however (assuming there is any kind of a setback happening).
