biometrics on 4/3/2019

I hear Baltimore does not give you an approval on spot and they are back up with cases. I hope the files move to other field offices to speed up the process.

I feel so stupid for moving to Maryland. I would have put this job on hold if I knew Baltimore was literally the worst FO in the country.

Hello Marylanders,

Does anyone know if we can do walk-in biometrics?

[Trini0616]

Howdy All.

FYI - If you're doing biometrics in Baltimore they do accept walk-ins. You may not succeed on your first attempt but they'll let you know the best day and time to come back.

So we went to the IRS office in Baltimore today to file our first joint tax return. Well really, to apply for a Tax ID number for my spouse and submitting your federal tax return is required with the W-7 form. We need an ITIN for him to open joint bank accounts and to add him to my insurance policies, etc. Anywho… they said 9 to 11 weeks for processing the ITIN application.

9-11 weeks!

WTH!?

It's like all federal offices in Baltimore run slower than molasses.

SMH and sucking my teeth

Congrats to you!!! That is good news for us all. I see it took 8 months from the courtesy letter for the I-693 to the interview day. When did you file and when did your status change to ready for interview? Can you share your timeline please, please and thank you?
