Mital: You don't need the stamp if you have the NOA1. You are confusing that with people who did not get NOA1 at all.

BenAna: You can smile... my husband is smiling in his You have to have a natural expression (no big cheesy grins I suppose), but that doesn't mean you can't show teeth, like in other countries. Of course, there is a chance the photo taker is strict and says otherwise...

Here are examples of photographs that are good http://travel.state.gov/passport/pptphotoreq/photoexamples/photoexamples_5300.html Note some of the "good" examples are smiling. The requirements for GC photos and passport photos are the same.

I was told in Phoenix that I was not allowed to smile; can smirk, this and that....but NO teeth. soooooo sat there like an unsmiling dude. I would have preferred a nice big smile......not sure if it varies or what but the guy specifically said not to show teeth .....

Completed biometrics today; very simply and easy . But I was told specifically NOT to smile. Oddly I was able to smile for my first green card; not allowed to smile for a Canadian passport; my wife smiled on her USA passport. So no smiling for this green card. And I briefly saw the picture. ugh, love a redo oh well

bring on the rest of the case !

Oh wow. I will ask them. I hope my photo will be better this year because my 2-year GC one is just HORRIBLE haha

What did you bring to the appointment???

Hi lol too funny.....well my first two year green card had a decent picture of me actually. I'm not groovin on many pictures I take but this was ok. And I got to smile.....this one, looks like a guy staring into a camera....hate that. oh well.

Best to ask them at the time. I sat and started smiling for the picture and he said uh uh, no smiling; no teeth at all, they don't let you do that for green cards. Then i said funny my current green card has me smiling, and no problem there.

Anyway.....i brought my passport, letter for the biometrics apopintment, green card and all my normal ID. I went through security, then into the main waiting area. Keep in mind this is the Phoenix location.... then went up to the front where they had me file out a form (quick and easy ie name, color of hair, eyes, height, country of birth, country of citizenship etc.) then they gave me that form plus attached my biometrics letter (he wrote things on the letter) then attached my green card plus a number ....then you wait for the number to be called and go in. it was fast.

he asked for my passport and to see my greend card, plus bio letter.

pretty smooth process. when is yours??

This week has been a great week for many of us!!! Hopefully, we are going to see more Bio Appt schedule for the rest of the week and next week

Go May Filers!!!

[Harpa Timsah 13,258]

So I get an email from USCIS saying they are sending me an NOA1 as a courtesy because I've not received one.....go figure. Well I take back everything I said before hahaha

Yay!

It's too bad the photo person was so strict. Like I said, if the person taking your picture says no smiling, then I guess you can't smile. But I still think it's allowed, technically speaking Like you said,you are smiling in the first one.

Ya who knows...maybe he is using old policy and thinks you can't and others say go ahead. it'll be interesting to read posts about whether people smiled or not just to see . you say your husband smiled

[LA&MA 24]

we got a Bio Letter today Dated:06-25-2012 for 07-23-2012

[Zydrune 0]

Hello!

I finally got form I-797C, Notice of Action! After i called them twice, because my GC expired on June 22. It is funny as notice doesnt even have a date it just have received date and priority date. oh, it also has a notice: Repalcement Receipt note its like they have sent one before...

Please could somebody update Zydrune in CSC. I would think NOA date should be 06/26 as that is when it was sent from California.

No BIO letter yet.

And one more question - on the same letter there is written "If you have not allready done so, please provide supporting documents..." and it just list documents that we have allready sent them. So i suppose that does not mean RFE? RFE is a separate letter, asking for additional documents, right? I think I am getting parranoid :/

[HappyKnappy 30]

After a 80-90 minute wait, we were able to go through with the biometrics process.

Luckily the newly opened Tampa field office, which by the way is pretty nice, takes walk-ins without asking questions. The staff is also very friendly, even the security guards were in great spirits (quite frankly, with those new facilities... Who wouldn't?)

The waiting begins, wishing all a smooth, RFE-free ROC journey.
