What happen at the Biometrics appointment? What they do there? Fingerpoint? DNA? Blood draw?

They take your picture and do fingerprints. No DNA samples are taken (yet). It's quick and painless.

You also give them your signature

Don't worry about anything - it's the easiest part of the process.

Had my appt today in Newark - lined up for about 5 mins, a lady at a desk looked at my appt letter and passport, gave me a number and told me to wait in a room with about 50 people. I was waiting for about 10 minutes, my number was called and I went to a machine where a set of 'basic' prints of each finger were taken, and then a set of prints where I had to roll each finger across the small glass screen. I was asked if the details they had of me were correct, my photo was taken, my appointment letter was stamped as a receipt, and that was it. One more thing - when you are lining up you have to fill out a form which includes details such as weight, hair color, eye color, place of birth, and parents' names. Altogether a quick, painless experience.

I had a biometrics appointment today and it's exactly like this....

Oh...I was asked for something to prove that I'm allowed to use my husband's last name...she said like marriage certificate. I said I didn't have it with me (since the appointment letter says all I need are the letter and I.D.). I told her all I had with his last name was a credit card. She shook her head and said no. And she told us to wait a moment, because she would go & ask her boss After a few minutes, she came back and said "O.K."
