New biometrics appointment

[WannabeHuman 3]

Hey all, just curious about a few things again.

 

I just recently got my biometrics appointment in the mail for September.  I had my biometrics for my AOS done back in June of 2021. Is this a bad sign? Or am I stressing for nothing. I know I need to go anyways just wanted some input from people who are more knowledgeable than me! 

 

Thank you

You should attend the appointment. Not everybody gets AOS fingerprints reused. Some people get randomly selected to submit fingerprints again. It's totally normal. Nothing to worry about unless you've commited a crime.

While the reasons for why biometrics are sometimes waived is apparently SSI (Security Sensitive Information), I surmise it means your biometrics are changing faster than most or USCIS has randomly selected you.

You should always expect to get a biometrics appointment with EVERY petition you send in. It's only in recent time that it has become a little more common that they reuse biometrics, but the normal is still to have your biometrics taken for every single petition. Sometimes even more than once per petition.

It's fine. I had an appointment for my N-400, they just checked two fingers against the old biometrics and then declared themselves satisfied.

I had a biometrics appointment every step b1/b2, k1, aos, roc and n-400 🤷🏻‍♀️

I had to do biometrics for everything too, just the way things go sometimes. All of the petitions and applications I was a part of went well without any hitches or RFEs.
