Biometric

[sugarplum 0]

My application to removed Residence condition is outside processing time. Now, I received a letter from USCIS to re-take my biometric again. I took my biometric last Jan. 14, 2011 and my another biometric schedule is on July 8, 2011. Does anyone know why?

Does anyone here has the same situation like mine? I'm confused why it taking so long to process my application. I don't received any RFE if they think I need one.

It happened to someone who applied in April but their appointment was rescheduled about a month after the original one. I believe the reason they were given was that the FBI was unable to process the fingerprints. They didn't explain to you in the letter why you need to redo biometrics?

it's possible that the finger prints did not show up enough on the FBI LAB FOR YOUR BACK ROUND CHECK, and that they want you to do it again,

..... the first time they took my fingerprints, the USCIS staff said that they can submit my fingerprints but they are not sure if FBI would accept (my fingers were dry)...... i asked them for their advise, and they asked me to buy a specific lotion (they had photocopies of the brand) and be back to have my fingerprinting again after few days....... i did apply the lotion religiously, and after 4 days, had a successful biometrics...... obviously FBI accepted since i got my EAD/AP card now.....

In the letter it only stated that my finger print card on file is expired. That's it. I called USCIS today and asked the reason . I talked to 3 different customer rep and they have the same answer like a scripted answer. They cant give you a definite answer. It was all scripted.

If you want to get through to someone who doesn't read from a script you need to request to talk to an immigration officer, they refer sometimes to it as 'tier 2'. It seems odd that your prints have expired already, maybe they can explain it better?
