Biometric Appointment after Visa Appointment?

[JayFromTexas 69]

My wife had her Visa interview back in July and entered the US on a CR1 Visa in August. Last week, she received an I-797c notifying her that she has a Biometric Submission here in Texas. I've searched here and see some messages that say Biometrics are required prior to some visa interviews. Should we be alarmed that it is happening now or is this normal?

Please post a scan of the notice with the name covered.  No, this does not sound normal, but there may be a clue in the actual wording.

That's not opening for me.

OP - It isn’t unusual for someone who entered on an immigrant visa to receive a biometric notice after their arrival. This happens when there’s an issue with their previously captured prints or picture (from the embassy), which makes them unusable for the GC production. Their GC cannot be produced without their biometrics being recaptured. This is what is going on with your wife’s capture, there’s nothing to be alarmed about IMO.

Makes sense. Thank you

@JayFromTexas Can you share the exact date in August your spouse entered the US? My husband entered on September 11 and we’re still waiting to hear from the USCIS about his green card. He said they didn’t take any biometrics at his POE.

Absolutely makes sense and is explained in the first paragraph.
