Hello friends.

I have jut come back home from my biometrics appointment.

The person was having such a hard time to get finger prints of my pinkies.... :wacko:

He said that some people's finger prints are harder to read because they get worn out.

Also, he told me that some people genetically have finger prints that are hard to read. :blink:

They did their best, so I just have to hope that my finger prints meet FBI requirements.

I guess if they cannot read them, they will send me a letter and make me go and get my finger prints taken again.... :crying:

I am wondering whether anyone have received a letter explaining that since they could not read finger prints, you

had to go and have your finger prints taken again? Also, if you did, could you please tell me how long it took for you

to receive the letter after your biometrics?

I really really hope that they can read them.....

Thanks

Nao

Yes, my wife did. She got a letter about (2) weeks after biometrics that they were rejected by the FBI and to go in for a 2nd set. Then we didn't hear anything. About 3 months later I called the FBI fingerprint check line to see if the second set was good. The FBI fingerprint check line is 304-625-5590. They can tell you on the phone, with your A number, if the fingerprints were rejected or not. They told me that hers were rejected the 2nd time 2 days after they were taken.

So, luckily, I found out that my wife's prints were rejected twice. They don't take a 3rd set, instead, if they are rejected twice, you are guaranteed an interview (read the USCIS Field Adjudicators manual and it tells you what the classifications are for interview)

So we scheduled an infopass appointment to see what we were supposed to do. What they made us do is go to the local police station and get a police certificate (I'm not kidding, we had to go to police headquarters in Houston, get a $3 certificate saying that my wife had no record for the 5 whole months she was in the US and that $3 certificate replaced the entire fingerprint analysis of DHS and FBI). We brought the police certificate to our interview and were approved same-day.

Hope that helps. If you do not have the certificate at the interview, they give you an on-the-spot RFE and you have to go get one.

 

i don't get it.

Hello himher.

Thank you so much for your valuable information.

I will call the number you gave me for sure. It is great that they can tell us whether finger prints are accepted or not.

It is such a hassle to go to the police headquarters to get a certificate..... Since Houston is a big city, I bet there was a long wait for you.... I live in L.A., so if I have to go to LAPD, I may have to spend an entire day waiting in line there.... :wacko:

But, it is great to know that the police certificate can replace poor quality finger prints after the second trial. :star:

Thank you

Nao
