Question regarding biometrics for Removing Conditions

[one...two...tree 2,762]

We just received our I-751 Receipt Notice in the mail.

The notice states...

In order to further process your petition, you will be receiving an Application Support Center (ASC) appointment notice with a specific time, date and location to capture your fingerprints, photo, and signature. You MUST wait for your appointment notice before going to ASC for biometrics processing.

NOTE: Conditional resident applicants... WILL NOT RECEIVE an ASC appointment notice. To complete biometric processing, these applicants must submit the required items on the I-751 form instructions.

......

So my question is, since we already submitted the required items with our orginal I-751 submission, do we go ahead and get our biometrics as a walk in? The notice is confusing because they're saying we will not be given an appointment for biometrics but doesn't say that biometrics is not required for conditional residents. I apologize if this has been asked many times before, but the USCIS could do a better job of clarification.

HMM I have to look at my husbands, however pretty sure we still get an ASC appointment as most locations will not take you without the paper.

I would just wait for the biometrics letter and then go to the appointment. Don't worry, you will get the appointment soon.

This is weird brother. Like I told you --- I have heard about walk-in biometrics; but I am not sure... The letter is indeed confusing

It is not as confusing as you think, read it again,

The note in the receipt notice completely says,

"Conditional resident applicants, including conditional resident dependents, residing overseas pursuant to military or government orders WILL NOT RECEIVE an ASC appointment notice. To complete biometric processing, these applicants must submit the required items listed on the I-751 form instructions."

If you do not reside overseas on military/gorvernment orders this does not apply to you. Expect to receive the ASC appointment notice for your biometrics and you need the notice to enter the ASC or do a walk-in.

But according to the notice, we will not receive an appointment.

Further down (last paragraph) makes it all the more troubling:

Upon receipt of your ASC appointment notice (which according to them, we won't get), you can find the status of your case on-line at www.uscis.gov.

This notice was poorly thought out as it leaves conditional resident applicants hanging as to what they should expect from this point on.

This is like a contradiction. Who would be filing to remove conditions that wasn't a conditional resident?

At least we got it cleared up!

I think the "NOTE: Conditional resident applicants... WILL NOT RECEIVE an ASC appointment notice. To complete biometric processing, these applicants must submit the required items on the I-751 form instructions." means that you need to submit your I-751 petition in order to receive the appointment. If you did not, you will not receive any appointment notice.

I read that some people did walk-in for the biometrics and had any problem. If you live near the place, go ahead and try. It never hurts to try! But if it is a long commute, I would just wait for the appointment letter.

Yeah, that's what threw me a curve ball...I glanced over it quickly and locked onto the words "conditional resident."

It would have been clearer for the notice to say, "All conditional resident applicants will receive an appointment, except the following..."

I did a walk-in for my AOS but they required my letter. I cannot imagine they would take someone without one because they require the reference information and they attach things to it.

Sorry you are right! The people who did a walk-in for the biometrics had the appointment letter.
