Second Biometrics???

[GEOntificator 281]

We filed AOS concurrently. Mother is adjusting from B2. We went for Biometrics yesterday and just got a notice in the online account that she is scheduled for another biometrics?? Has this happened to anyone else? 

 

Here is what it reads.

 

"PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE NOTICE CAREFULLY. The FBI was unable to process your fingerprints. To continue processing your application, petition, or request, U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services (USCIS) must collect your biometrics again. This will be completed at no additional expense to you. Please appear at the below Application Support Center (ASC) at the date and time
specified."

 

This is kind of weird.

Yes, it happens occasionally. Nothing to worry about. They couldn’t get a clear image of the fingerprints, make sure she doesn’t put any lotion on her hands before the appointment. I did that and they had a really hard time taking my prints but ultimately it worked.

This ^^^  Usually the people fingerprinting can tell if the fingerprint images are good enough, but occasionally, it's not quite good enough.  Nothing to stress over other than it's an inconvenience.

Many Seniors don't have good fingerprints / they wear down

Thank you all! We went earlier than scheduled date yesterday and were let in since we have a conflict with original dates. We live across the street. We went in again just now and got it done. Hopefully that does it. I appreciate your info!

I forgot to add that folks at the application center were really surprised by how fast the USCIS requested new fingerprints. I though it was normal since biometrics is likely all automated unless something comes up that requires further review.
