What is a biometrics?

[wakeywakeup 1]

Hello, I've been seeing this "biometrics" as part of the adjustment of status process. What is it and how much does it cost?

Also do you know if this is still true or does anyone have more current details on medial transfer of vacinations to I-693. It was in a post from Dec 07

Sometimes the medical gets "lost" during the transfer. It is entirely possible that you may receive an RFE for the vaccination supplement (Form I-693), and possibly even for the full medical (Form I-693), even if the medical is current. Here is a helpful post from someone who was able to relocate a lost medical.

To find a Civil Surgeon in your area you can link here to use the USCIS Civil Surgeons Locator.

To have your vaccination information transcribed to Form I-693, the following Civil Surgeon will do it by phone and fax for a nominal fee ($10 at time of writing):

Dr. L. E. Arnold

4534 Westgate Boulevard, Suite 106

Austin, TX 78745

Tel: (512) 444-3131

Fax: (512) 447-4699

Biometrics is when you have to go to the USCIS office to get your fingerprints taken. The price is included in the $1,010 AOS fee, $930 for the I-485 and $80 for biometrics.

Also, if you had the medical done back home, all you need to send with the AOS packet is the immunization records the doctor gave you since the medical is good for one year.

The LPR will have their biometrics done over and over again during their lifetime.
