Help??

Hi everyone,

First of all, I posted this in another section of the site, but only got one response (thanks for that by the way!) Just seeing if anyone else has any other insight on this? Basically what I'm trying to figure out is if in fact I do have to get my passport in order to get my biometrics done (which is going to add another two months and $$ to my process), or if there is ANY other route? Thanks again for any help/comments!

I have a question about getting issued a "new" passport. To TRY and make a long story short, I came to the States in 1985, on my mother's passport (as I was only five). Due to my father's work, we ended up staying here, however he never went through the necessary steps to continue our Visa, or have us become permanent residents, therefore, I'm now stuck in a bind trying to figure all of this out on my own (which has been great fun, let me tell you!!). Anyway, I'm now stuck. I recently married, my husband filed the paperwork for me, and I filed the I-485 and I-765. I received my notice to go to my biometrics on 7/20. I do NOT have a government issued ID because of all of this, so they would not allow me in to the exam. I have been told by a few people that I need to get my British passport. It seems that it's considered a new passport for me since I never held my own, and I was born before 1982, and a citizen, I shouldn't have an issue getting one. Because of the headache and the continuous let downs that I've been through in the past few months, I figured I would ask if anyone has been in a similar situation before I fork out more money to get the passport and then find it's not the resolution? Thanks to anyone with any information, it's greatly appreciated!!!!!!

If you have no US government photo ID then you must use your passport so you will need a passport.

Government photo ID is required to get into the ASC center for biometrics or any other reason.
