Biometrics Again?

[celiothrkn 0]

My spouse arrived in the US three years ago (May 2010) as a CR-1. After two years (May 2012), she was able to remove conditions and become a 10-Year Green Card. To do this, she had biometrics done (in NJ where we lived at the time).

According to naturalization laws, she's eligible to naturalize after three years of marriage to myself, a USC. As I'm preparing to file her N-400, I have a question. Does she need to redo her biometrics? Biologically not much has changed since she had biometrics done last year so I question the need.

By the way, soon after she removed conditions, we moved to CA. Not sure if that makes any difference. Thank you.

First, she isn't eligible to naturalize after three years of marriage to you...she is eligible to naturalize after three years of becoming a PR. And yes, she will have to do biometrics again...everyone does.

Biometrics happen at every stage of the game: adjustment of status, renewing conditional green cards, naturalization. They want to make sure your fingerprints continue to match up and other details are correct. A bit frustrating for the 3-year marriage filers, but it's all for a good cause (preventing fraud).

Thank you all for the replies!

English Muffin - My mistake on the OP but it's okay. We've been married for 4 years, and as of last week, she's been been a LPR a full 3 years. I will be filing my N-400 this week.
