Have Interview first Biometrics later?

[patricia313tw 0]

I had my interview back in Feb and the officer said he didn't have my finger prints and pictures so told us to finish it after our interview, he said within 3 weeks I should get my green card.

After 3 weeks he called us and told us that my fingerprints were unclassfiable so had to go back and redo it. The officer said if it didn't work, he would call us and we might need to meet him again. He sent us a notice for redoing fingerprints but we also got one from INS stated the same thing, just with a later appointment date. Anyway, my husband and I went to the same INS and redid all that.

Again, 3 weeks later, we got another notice said that we need to proccess my BIOMETRICS or my file will be abandoned. My husband call to immigration and talked with one of the officer, unfortunately he said he couldn't help because he is not the local officer, he didn't know what happen to my case or why we got a notice like that.

We are really confused now, we don't know if INS made a mistake and sent another notice or I have to go back and redo everything?

Does anyone have the similar situation like ours? Is it normal to have the biometrics first? We are really tired of going back and making up the mistakes other people made.

I would schedule an infopass appointment to get it all sorted out. INS loses stuff all the time, I wouldn't be surprised if it was lost or just mixed up somewhere.

I already did it twice, the officer told us the 3rd time we should apply a police record and he would call us about it. Never heard from him though.

Thanks for the info... but what exactely is an infopass appointment...? We tried to find out the number at the local office but they said they don't put the numbers in public, when my husband called to the 1-800 number on the notice we got today, the officer told us the only way is go back to INS and ask them. He said he COULDN'T help.

It will be great if we can make appointment or get in touch by phone with INS first... I just want to know what is going on with my case since it's approved verbaly.

p.s. I had my interview in Houston, went to the same INS for biometrics twice, I have to say the INS they sent me sucks.

They lost my husbands fingerprints as well, and he had to have them redone. I would schedule an infopass appointment. You can go to the USCIS website, (www.uscis.gov) and it's right there on the home page. You can go in and pick where you want to have the appointment, what day and what time. I hope this helps. Good luck!

Thank you... I have another question... what is the form look like told you that you need to redo your finger prints? I got one before and got it done, but the form I got this time looked different, it's a "ASC Appointment Notice", is this the form that they should give me before I had my interview? They knidda messed up my procedure, I had my interview first without having my fingerprints done.

Hi Patty,

In the Turkish section (K1 Turkish and All Turkish under Regional) Debra&John ( a member) had the same problem. You can refer to that page and the member.

I hope everything goes smooth for you.

Patricia,

My wife's fingerprints were also not readable, so we too got a notice to appear. And yes it did look different then the usual biometrics notice or AOS interview notice. She will go in again Thursday.

Just to be on the safe side, for others who have had to re-do fingerprints, did you have any problems with AP? We did have a successful interview, but approval is pending due to the fingerprints, but I am assuming this would not affect AP? We had used AP before the interview and before we found out that her fingerprints were not good enough.

That's good to know that the notice I got on Mon (ASC notice) is different from others. That might mean we don't have to redo anything. We had a successful interview as well, and also had problems with fingerprints. What is AP btw....
