Hey guys...

Just wanted to drop a quick note to let you know that everything went smoothly on my biometrics appointment, got there a lil bit before the time assigned, and was out of there in less than half an hour. They took my picture, and fingerprints, even asked me if I liked the pic, cause they could change it if I didnt like it....

Also, when you get there, they make you fill out a form, just to know what you're coming to do there, there is a space for the applications that you have pending. As most of you, I had a Code 3 letter, which means that I was getting biometrics for AOS and EAD. In that form that they gave me I also checked the I-131 (AP), and the guy asked me if I had the NOA for that, which of course I had brought. They included the AP in my biometrics. Im guessing that this means that I'll get my AP approved with my EAD now. (Hoping anyways).

Everyone was really nice, and polite. Was a good experience overall.

Congratulations!

I have my biometrics appt in a week. I was not aware I had to bring my NOA for the AP; although I sent AOS/EAD/AP docs, I got a biometrics notice for the first two only. Do I need to bring the original NOA for the AP or a copy will do? Am I supposed to bring new passport photos for the AP as well?

Thank you.
