I-751 Do we send fingerprints w/ application or not?

[girlafraid7 0]

I've read the guides and instructions, but I'm getting conflicting information for filing the I-751. We have not had fingerprints taken thus far in this process. Do we need to make an appointment for fingerprints to send in with our application (per the application instruction)? I also read something on the USCIS as of 2/27/07 that says an update to the process says that you will be sent a notice AFTER the I-751 is filed to appear at a USCIS office to have your biometrics captured. WHICH IS IT?

anyone know?

If you are currently living outside of the US (ie military base, etc.) then you include fingerprints with the I-751. If you are in the US, then you don't. After you submit your application, you will receive an ASC Biometrics appointment letter. This isusually comes about a month after the NOA receipt for your petition. It will have a date, time and place where you will go to have both your fingerprints taken digitally (pun intented) as well as a photograph.

How is it that you did not have to do biometrics for your AOS to get your conditional green card? Or did you mean you didn't have to submit fingerprints with your application but did the biometrics appointment?

We had to do the medical test for the green card approval, but neither of us remember doing fingerprints. We were living in Spain at that point. Now we live here. It sounds like we just submit the application and they will send us a letter with our biometrics appointment.

Thanks!
