N-400 Fingerprinting

[epate86 0]

I submitted my wife's N-400 the other week. I got an email/letter from USCIS saying that they require her fingerprints on an FD-258. My problem is that the embassy in Seoul doesn't do finger printing. I am stationed in the Air Force here in Korea, wife is here with me as well. The letter stated to go to an Embassy or even a military installation to get this done. I've called around and no body at Osan can really help me and the guy who might do it at Camp Humphreys is on emergency leave and he is the only person in that office. My other issue is they gave a deadline on the letter but I will be on leave when the deadline expires in the Philippines. So I guess my question is does anyone know where I could get fingerprinting for her here in Korea and also in the Philippines while we are visiting?

I would think any Military Police, or base security officer would be able to do fingerprinting.  Did you talk to the head of your local MP group?

Yes, I talked to the Law desk, the base security office and they said they couldn't do it. I have one possibility with another office with the MP's but with Christmas time people are off or just not answering their phone. With my limited time before I go on leave, I was wondering if anyone had any other ideas. I've looked online at the US Embassy in Manila and they don't say anything about fingerprinting there.

Is there a USCIS field office still open somewhere? They would usually do it and I remember that they even would come out to military installations.

Sadly the one in Seoul closed in Sept this year. The Embassy does come to bases but, they will be coming out my way when I'm out of country. FML

Is this acceptable?  Will the Korean National Police proved fingerprints on an FD258?  Considering your situation, probably worth asking.

 

 

Fingerprints

The Korean National Police Agency informed the U.S. Embassy that many larger police stations in Korea should be able to provide fingerprint services without charge.  Please call your local police station to verify hours and procedures.  You may have to go to another police station if your local police station does not have the necessary equipment or staffing.   Alternatively, a good resource for fingerprints is the local immigration office in your city/region or the nearest local government office (“gu” office).    Please visit the Korean National Police Agency’s official website to find a local police station closest to your residence.

Ok. I'll have to check this out.  Hopefully they can speak English and/or have done this before. Not sure if they can do electroniclly, or if it talks to the FBI's system or not but, I'll take the wet prints if I have to. Thanks
