There is more to biometrics than just fingerprinting! Learn about the procedures followed during this U.S.C.I.S. visit and how they may affect your immigration application!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Things<\/p>\n

If you are applying for a\u00a0green card,\u00a0naturalization, or some other U.S. immigration benefit, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (U.S.C.I.S.) will require you to submit a fee for biometrics. A few weeks before you attend the interview for your application, you’ll be called in for a biometrics appointment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even if you already have a green card but are applying for a renewal after it expires, you must get biometrics done. Keep reading as we put you through everything you should expect at your U.S.C.I.S. biometrics appointment!<\/span><\/p>\n

What is the Biometrics Appointment and What Happens There?<\/span><\/h2>\n

At the biometrics appointment, you will have your fingerprints, photo, and signature taken for your visa or immigration application. Its essence is to run a background check and for identification purposes. <\/span><\/p>\n

Usually, U.S.C.I.S. will schedule a date and time for the biometrics appointment, but sometimes, you may have to plan it yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n

Several people might have received the same appointment time as you did. Generally, everyone given the same appointment time will be called in on a first-come, first-served basis.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once you arrive at the A.S.C., you might be given a number showing your place in line or asked to fill out and hand in a short form letting the A.S.C. employees know you’re there. They will call your wait-list number or name when it’s your turn.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you have a conflict, you can attend your scheduled biometrics appointment early or reschedule it for a later, more convenient time. However, it’s best that you attend at the scheduled time whenever possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Location is the Biometrics Appointment?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

In most cases, U.S.C.I.S. will require individuals to attend their biometrics appointment at a USCIS-authorized Application Support Center. This is quite different from the main U.S.C.I.S. office where you go for your interview for naturalization, adjustment of status, or whatever it is you’re applying for.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you have questions about your immigration case (for instance, when you will likely be called in for an interview), this is not the place to ask them. The people who collect biometrics cannot access your case file and cannot give you personalized advice or information.<\/span><\/p>\n
