Just received another Biometric appointment notice - already went and have receipt from January

[shira 4]

My wife had her biometric appointment on January 19, and we have the stamped receipt showing this. But today we received another Form I-797C for a biometric appointment. It's identical to the previous notice in every respect.

What's going on?

Thanks!

It's either a 1) mistake or 2) that her fingerprints could not be read and they need to try again.

Thanks for the reply.

Well, we'll go in first thing on Monday. It's too late today for me to call the USCIS number. Would they be able to explain this, or will they just say "show up?" In other words, is there any point in calling?

Anyway, we're December, 2015 filers, with her green card extended one year to early March. I sure hope this foul up on their part doesn't push us past her extended expiration date.

Phone is generally useless.

If her extension letter expires she can get a I-551 stamp in her passport, which is proof of LPR status. So you're covered there.

It happens and we received 3 biometrics letters. Just keep the appointment and go, they won't be able to tell you why.

Maybe the code letter was wrong, who knows.

Oh, something my wife just reminded me of: About three weeks ago, she cut her left index finger while preparing food. It's not completely healed, and the print made by that finger probably won't be perfect. Does this require re-scheduling?

That is best discussed with the person taking the prints.

My wife had whacked herself with a meat cleaver at the age of seven (she has a minor, but permanent, scar). The FBI was okay with her prints, but the City of Houston was not, even after two re-takes. We had to go in person to the downtown Police Dept. to acquire her police report for her AOS application.
