Fingerprints

Does anyone know if they wait for your fingerprint results to be complete before they issue Interview Dates?

I would expect that they would wait for the security checks based upon the fingerprints to be complete before they schedule interviews. If the security checks turn up something that makes you ineligible or raises questions then they wouldn't be able to schedule an interview. It makes sense to me that they would wait.

Yes, they wait until your FP and name checks are completed before they put you in queue for interview dates.

According to FBI, they return fingerprint result within 24 hours.

So USCIS will have fingerprint result at same day or next day.

But real holding point is FBI namecheck process.

It may take less than 30 days for most of cases, but about 20% may hit second round for further checking.

5% or less may hit third round, which may take more than a year.

USCIS is scheduling the interview after receiving o.k. for both fingerprint and namecheck as far as I know.

Would only make sense, as in some places, you do the interview/oath the very same day

Thanks everyone that makes perfect sense!

While I read on the USCIS site, they may not take a third set of fingerprints if your last ones were done in 15 months. Due to a late date with the I-751 and an early appointment for the N-400, only 11 months passed for us for yet another 430 mile drive. Asked the fingerprint guy, why, he said, I don't know, I just work here. Emilio told congress, will still cost 80 bucks, because they have to store and retrieve your last set of prints from their database. So to make that trip worthwhile, did request a copy of that civics book with the CD. But had to ask for it, they didn't offer it.

Interesting observation, while your fingerprint shows up on your green card, no where to be found on your certificate, least not on my wifes', so why did we make that trip? A why did we have to resubmit all of that evidence again, when they already had it? She didn't get that green card out of a Cracker Jack box. Wife said at her interview, saw her three inch high folder.

The old questions, this was last April, ha, we played in the car driving home, did put my wife to sleep, and almost put me to sleep while driving, so put something a bit more lively on. The best way for her to learn was to ask me the questions, and see if I gave the right answers, you can actually learn a lot more by teaching.

Firing back the names of the 13 original colonies was the only bad question on there, don't have to answer it in any specific order, so the asker can get tripped up as well, ha, had fun with that one.

I think that question is now give THREE of the 13 original colonies.

It appears they do not have a CD with the new questions which is bad cos I think they would be useful in the car...but oh well.
