Could you get your passport stamped the day you go to get fingerprints?

My husband has to go downtown for his fingerprints for his Naturalization application soon. Could he also ask for his passport stamped while he's there, or is that a different person? I'm thinking he can't, that the fingerprinting people just handle fingerprinting. And that when he does make his InfoPass appointment to get his passport stamped, that it's in an entirely different room on a different floor.

I just want to make 100% sure that he can't kill two birds with one stone. I'm thinking the answer is NO though.

I guess technically he could try to get an InfoPass appointment for like an hour after his fingerprints are scheduled, but I wouldn't trust that because what if for some fluke they run really behind that day and his fingerprints take longer.

Not entirely sure about Nebraska, but here in Boston those are two different places. We had to get an Info Pass appointment to get the Passport stamped. The Boimetrics place is in a different part of the city, and they seem to be just contractors that only handle the biometrics stuff. I'm sure they will look cross-eyed at you if you ask for an I-551 stamp for your passport.

Our Service Center is actually pretty good about InfoPasses being open, I would try and schedule on the same day as the biometrics appointment. Again, not sure how Nebraska is, but if there is enough time before hand it should save you the time of making yet another trip into town.

Both the biometrics and getting your passport stamped should take about 15 minutes each.

Good luck!

The ASCs/fingerprinting offices are more flexible than the field offices as far as appointments go. If the ASC is indeed in the same location as your local field office, you might want to set up the InfoPass appointment before the biometrics appointment -- the ASCs have been known to be flexible enough to take people who show up without an appointment, so I can't imagine they would turn your husband away if he showed up, say, a half hour late (because the InfoPass ran late or something).

Thanks, we are in Cleveland! And it's all in the same building.

He won't be able to leave work any earlier so he'd have to do the fingerprinting first. I wonder how late the InfoPass appointments run, his fingerprinting is at 3pm. Or what would happen if he didn't make it to an InfoPass appointment, that might look bad or have a consequence? The other times he had his biometric appointments, he got there early and pretty much got taken on time with regard to his appointment time, but you never know. I think this does clear it up though, that it's on another floor. I think it's where we had our AOS interview actually, but yes it's definitely all in the same building.
