Did you have the biometrics done for your AP? My wife and step-daughter didn't get their AP's until that was done even though it said it had been approved online. They needed a photo for the AP because it is copied onto the AP documents that you receive.

There are no "biometrics" for AP -- they use the pictures you are to send in with the AP application.

That's not what happened with us. When we went for my wife's biometrics for her AOS, we were told both her and her daughter would have to come back and have photos taken again for the AP. My wife went the next day and then received her AP in about one week. We couldn't get her daughter there again for about 3 weeks and she never received her AP in the mail. Once she went and had her photo taken specifically for the AP, she received her document in a week or so.

Don't know what the process should be, I'm just saying what we had to do in order to get the AP. We specifically asked the folks when we were there if we had to come back for that and were told that we did.

so how do i know if i have to go back in for my AP ? I dont think I do ive never heard of any cases needing photos ? So what should i do ? Should i make an INFOpass appointment ... ? im very worried

The folks at the USCIS in Pittsburgh were very nice and helpful. I would just walk in and ask them what you need to do to expedite things. Can't hurt to try and it is better than waiting for an appointment.

so just go into my local USCIS ... the stupid thing is i have a lawyer and i have rang her 3 times in the last week to help the situation and nothing... could it be possible that she has the AP since she filed my AOS case ?

You could stop in and inquire about your case. They will be able to tell you if your case is at least in their system. Also, if you call the USCIS number, they can also tell you if your AP is in the system, even if it doesn't show online yet...from what I understand, they are different databases.

Or you could just wait couple of more days. AP tends to take a few more days from approval to the day people get it in the mail (I have no idea why...) You AP is probably in the mail, and you should get it any day now. And also I never heard of biometrics AP.
