Hello Vjers,

Happy new year everyone :)

We are going for biometrics this week and wanted to know what to expect when we arrive.

They take finger prints, photos, signature, and what else?

Is there a physical exam performed?

Do they interview us?

What happens next?

Thank you very much for the replies as always.

Also bring your appointment letter (NOA) and Green Card.

It generally is a fast and painless process. Our local office was empty both times we went, so we were in and out in less than 20 minutes.

No, they will just take your fingerprints :)

I believe you have to fill out a form so make sure you bring a pen, your Biometrics Appointment Notice and your Green Card ^_^

i did mine today, and i have to say

for k1 people

1. bring your marriage certificate if youre married, i dont remember seeing this on anywhere. its totally important if you have changed your name.

2. make sure you are there 15 minutes or so before your time so you can get out early, they wont make you wait..first come first serve

3. of course, bring your passport

4. there were no fees involved

5. make sure your hands are clean and free of dirt, oil , any cosmetic

6. the photo person isnt going to give you time to put on makeup or lipstick or fix your hair, so better do all of that prior to the photo shoot. i thought i had time to put on lipstick hahaha..oh well.

the uscis here in orange county was kinda busy, overall took me about 30 mins or something. people seem basically friendly.
