Do you think I can still be RFIE/RFE for me to mail to them the original PR card? So it looks I will have to do the Biometrics for sure? I want to get a good picture. Is it OK to tell them to re-take the picture if I am not satisfied with the initial one that they take because the updated picture will be used on the new card right?

It's possible to get a RFE at any time, for any application/petition while it is pending.

Yes.  They've already scheduled you into an appointment as your case status reads.

They will take a new photo.

I see an envelope in the informed delivery. Must be the biometrics letter.

I didn’t receive the biometrics letter. It was another receipt that had the billing info. All $0. Why would I get this in 2 different mails?

[Going through 5,671]

To show that you weren't charged for the replacement since it was a DHS error.  As for why 2 separate receipts, might be a clerical error/duplicate receipt sent out, might be that this is how they issue the i-90 receipt now---one showing submission of the application, one showing any billing details.

 

Either way doesn't affect anything, if just another receipt notice sent, nothing to stress out about.

I should get the biometrics letter by end of this week right?

 

How many re takes of photos can I do at the biometrics? I want a picture that I am happy with.

Realistically expect 1-3 weeks at least, if all goes as expected.

I suppose as many as the agent is willing to retake.  It's more about the photo satisfying their requirements, though, not your own.

What if I look angry or sad in the picture?

...Is this a serious question?

 

The biometrics agent isn't there to judge how your emotions come across your face during photo-taking...the agent is there to make sure that the photo and fingerprints is acceptable by USCIS requirements.

 

I guess my advice would be to think happy thoughts when facing the camera, then?

I once had a green card with no expiration date. After ten years, INS and then CBP get threatening me that there was a new law "coming any day" that would outlaw such green cards, and " I better do something about it." After each threat, I checked with the DHS web site and found that the CBP officers were lying (cops lie, who knew!).

 

After the straw that broken the camels back, I did the I-90 thing. And I when they took my photo at the USCIS office, I was angry, and the yes indeed the biometrics agent noticed, and asked me if I wanted a new photo. "Nope, I like it as it is." She looked at my old green card, and said, "wow, CBP must have really given you a hard time".

 

(The point of a fingerprint on a green card is lost on me if the thing expires every 10 years.)

 

Never had a problem with that new green card at POE again. Even worked for Global Entry. 

 

So I say, embrace the anger.

 

BTW, I am amused that your lawyer didn't send in your green card, and you didn't get an RFE. I guess lawyers are worth it some times. 😉
