Good question, biometrics are taken at a sub office or District Office.

Iowa lists Des Moines as its Sub Office and Omaha NE as District Office

South Dakota there is no Sub Office, the District Office is Saint Paul MN.

So it is a toss up. Omaha, or Des Moines, depending on which the USCIS considers you to be closer to.

Shanny,

There is a list of ASC locations on the USCIS web site.

Yodrak

just wondering if there was a list out there of all the places that you could go to get your biometrics done.

i am in iowa, but am about 1.5 hours from sioux falls, south dakota.

where will my biometrics appointment be?

YuAndDan,

No, biometrics is not done at District and Sub offices. Biometrics is done at Application Support Centers.

Sometimes an ASC will be co-located with a DO or SO, sometimes not.

As per Yodrak's comments, here's the ASC's:

As it happens, it looks like you'll still be going to either Des Moines, or Omaha.
