Fingerprints

[dalegg 143]

In reading the instructions it says two fingerprint cards must be sent in with the application and these cards can only be received at a USCIS office. Is this true-? Does this have to be sent in with the initial application or is it part of Biometrics?

That has to do if you are living overseas, they will fingerprint at biometrics, no cards needed to be included with the paperwork unless you are living outside the USA.

The guide spells out exactly what to send with the I-751 form.

Exception: Those who reside overseas pursuant to military or government orders, including conditional resident dependents residing overseas and listed under Part 5 of the form, must submit the following items with Form I-751:

1. Two passport-style photos for applicants and dependents, regardless of age.
2. Two completed fingerprint cards (Form FD-258) for applicants and dependents between the ages of 14 and 79. You must indicate your Alien Registration Number (A#) on the fingerprint card and ensure that the completed cards are not bent, folded, or creased. The fingerprint cards must be prepared by a U.S. Embassy or U.S. Consulate, USCIS Office, or U.S. Military Installation.
