We were at my wife's biometrics appointment earlier today, and I wonder why they have it? If I understand correctly, biometrics are meant to verify the person's identify. If wonder if there is some sort of fraudulent situation the biometrics appoointment is meant to prevent? Just curious.

hi ya

the way i see it is ..the process is to prove that you are the person that entered the U.S. on the particular visa you received..

also this way they have an update of your fingerprints for future reference ...the only thing that bothered me with the whole biometrics thing was they didnt use the photo's I sent in for your GC but the one that was taken at the appointment..mine was not as good as the ones i posted in lol...

some other might give you a better answer but that is how i see it...

good luck in the rest of your journey
