When are you supposed to do the 2nd biometrics?

[profesori 0]

no notice received yet but the IO told that in the system seems like is Oct 31

BTW, how was the 2nd appointment? was it legit or they had no idea why you had to go through it again?

[apple21 953]

Its legit coz my previous bio was code 2 and that didn't require a background check. Now since what I did is code 3 they will conduct a background check on me.

appointment letter received - I do see code 1 on this one. I checked the first notice and that one was code 2 but the person who run the process first time hand wrote code 3...

My wife's Biometric notice has Code 2 in it and was done on Aug 25th. What a mess!

Biometrics Codes

Normally, an ASC Biometrics Notice would contain (in the top right area), a field named “Code.” The “Code” field is intended to indicate the type of biometrics processing to be performed. The possible values are:

• Code 1 – fingerprinting only (10 prints);
  
• Code 2 – biometrics (photo, signature and index finger);
  
• Code 3 – fingerprints (10 prints) and biometrics (photo, signature and index finger).
  

USCIS has indicated that the applicable code for each biometrics appointment is determined based on the type of an application and certain relevant case factors.

Its an unnecessary delay to entire process

What does fingerprints (10 prints) mean? If its taking the print on all your fingers from both hands, wouldn't they have it from POE or from the consulate where the applicant went for the interview or even from the VAC center from their home country?

The Immigration contact at my congressman's office just mailed me on Friday asking if everything was OK with immigration (Election time i guess :-)) and i replied back to her with the mess that USCIS had created with GC. She told me she will check with USCIS on my case and get back soon and for checking with USCIS she told me it generally takes about 15-20 days for them to respond.

Lets see how that goes.

They have it all, but perhaps lazy to get the info from other databases - unhappy with this process...

Hello,

Not sure if anyone has any info. or can help me out. I petitioned for my husband 2 years back. He was given a 2 yr gc because we were married less than 2 yrs. We reapplied to remove the conditions from his gc. Everything went good and received his 10yr card. However, his last name on the card was spelled wrong. We were told to submit an I90 with supporting documents to show that the error was NOT our fault. So we did. He received an appointment letter to redo his biometric. His appointment was on 09/18/14. We have not heard anything since. Does anyone know how long it is taking to hear back from them? How long are they taking to resend a card?

Takes about 5-6 months for them re-send the correct card.
