Biometrics - and then???

[tan88 0]

Hello,

so I receive this letter after I get back from my 2 weeks in germany christmas vacation thing...that I need to go to New Orleans (PUKE!!!!!!) to get my Biometrics taken. So here is my question...can I go there without my husband? He is currently in Afghanistan (when I send my pack I included his orders and a written letter from the commander that he is not here and wont be till November 2007). So does he need to be there for this?

Also, after tey get my picture and signature and fingerprints...what happen next? Does that still mean I might have to go back there for an interview? Or should this take care of everyhting?

Also I just dont understand why they have to be such f#$&(*$#%...I am only 3 hours away from the Houston Center...but no I need to drive 4 1/2 hours to go to great New Orleans to get shot (its still super horrible down there....they'll never get thmeselves straight again)! Why cant I go to Houston?

Thank you so much for all your answers and help once again!

Why would you husband need to go? The biometrics they need are yours, not his. At any rate, no, he does not need to go. You go, take your form, have your finger prints and picture taken, and off you go on your merry way, easy as pie.

Also, after tey get my picture and signature and fingerprints...what happen next?

You sit and wait - for maybe six months or so.

Does that still mean I might have to go back there for an interview? Or should this take care of everyhting?

You might. There is no way to predict in advance. You just wait and either you will get a green card in the mail, or you will get a notice for an interview appointment in the mail.

Also I just dont understand why they have to be such f#$&(*$#%...I am only 3 hours away from the Houston Center...but no I need to drive 4 1/2 hours to go to great New Orleans to get shot (its still super horrible down there....they'll never get thmeselves straight again)!

Whaaaaaaaaa!!! Life is not perfect. Sheessh.

Good luck.

Cheers!

No need for ur husband to be with you. Its a very quick evolution at least it was for myself. I was in and out in 10 minutes!! All they do is take ur fingerprints and ur pic, too easy. Then you wait for either the greencard to arrive, or notice to appear for an interview, too easy!!

As well the office I went to(Alexandria VA), would not allow spouses in the building. Cheers
