Just as a heads up:

on the biometrics letter it specifically says under documentation to bring the letter and 1 piece of identification and it lists out a variety of valid forms of ID. 

 

It doesn’t specify which one it needs but MAKE SURE you bring your green card with you. Even though it’s not necessary based on the instructions on the appointment letter.
