Hi Everyone,

I sent my application on Jun 7 and on June 18,2013 USCIS sent my bio appointment. I'm current living in Brazil and working at US embassy.Im married to a US citizens and lived in US for the past 4 years. My questions is: it's possible to have my fingerprints taken at the embassy?? so i dont have to travel 3 times to US( fingerprints/ interview/oath)??? The crazy thing is i sent my app to Texas and they schedule my BIOmetrics appointment all the way in Wisconsin, how crazy is that? Please if any one can help me with this. I already tried to call USCIS but they give different histories, Once i called they said i can get everything done here in Brazil But the Oath, and today i called again and they said i have to be in the states for all 3 appointments?? so im getting confused....

Okay, first question for you: what did you put down on your application as your permanent address and your mailing address?

Did you put down a Wisconsin address or something else? I have no idea why they would arbitrarily assign you to Wisconsin if you had not noted it at any point on your application. If you have that state noted as your permanent or mailing address, they may have assigned the biometrics location closest to that.

I'm afraid I don't know if you can have USCIS biometrics done at the embassy. I know that many embassies take biometrics now, but whether they get to the immigration department is beyond me.

My permanent address i put the one in Brazil and the mail address i used family members address in Florida, but they got my brazilian zip code 54450-110 and matched up with as a US address and the nearest address to the zip code is in WI, they messed it up. I called USCIS and they said i can get it done at any Application Support Center in Florida, on that date and time of the notice. At the US embassy i work i have asked to the consular chief and she said they never got this done that they are not connected to USCIS....I guess i will have to be in States for all 3 appointment!!!!
