Last Tuesday was my biometrics appointment. It took almost 3 hours!! They wouldn't let me in until it was exactly 1 pm. So no walk in at Tampa. It took so long because there was a new girl on the job of receiving the people and processing each case.

Being there I noticed that my Biometrics appointment only mentioned my AOS an EAD! I asked if this also covered the AP and they said my AP recepit number wasn't in their system. And when I mentioned I am supposed to get a combo card, they didn't know what I was talking about. They said I shloud get another appointment for the AP?!?!?

Should I worry about this? Can someone that has alreedy had their biometrics and filled for AOS, EAD and AP at the same time tell me if they had the same situation on their appointment letter?

Thanks!

Alex and I have been friends for 23 years. We met in Mexico City and kept in touch as our friendship grew.

No worries. They only take the biometrics for the ead and gc, not Sure why but I'd say it's because it's most likely a combo card and if AP is sent separately it's only a letter and not actual card, therefore no need to take biometrics specifically for AP

Hey everyone, been a while! Gearing up for biometrics tomorrow - going to drive the husband to Hicksville, Long Island for his appointment. I'm sure it will be smooth sailing.

Also everything is once again up to date on here! :)https://docs.google.com/document/d/12IkPw_JzOrXWONUmGQf8J5c6hG-Tq45ceH0-y1qrrYs/edit

Thanks p-ana! Makes sense what you say. I thought about it too, but got surprised by the USCIS guy's answer.

So blessed to have this forum to check things up with others doing the same process!!
