Biometrics Appointment for Minor Child

[Ken1 0]

Hi Everyone,

We recently submitted our AOS packages for my wife and her 9 year old daughter (who entered the US on K1 and K2 visas). I am very happy that we received a notice pretty quickly for Biometrics appointments for December 17th, but I was surprised to receive two Biometric appointment notices - one for my wife and one for her daughter.

I thought that only my wife would need Biometrics as her daughter is only 9 years old. Am I wrong about that? Do they both need Biometrics?

If they do both need Biometrics done, a slight annoyance is that my wife's appointment is at 3:00pm and her daughter's appointment is at 9:00am the same day!

So, if we do need to get Biometrics done for both of them, is there anyway we could get them to change one of these appointments (without delaying it to a later date) so we would only have to go down once that day?

If we don't in fact need Biometrics for my wife's daughter, what do we do about that? On the letter it says that if we don't show up our application will be considered abandoned!

Thanks!

First just take her daughter at the same time as moms.

Second they will take daughters picture for the GC and do a thumb print. Not the whole hand like mom. At least that's what they did with my wife and daughter. K3/K4 but should be the same trip.

Do you think there could be be any problem with me going with both of them to just my wife's appointment time, which is scheduled later in the day than her daughter's (but is at a much more convenient time of day for all of us)?

Shouldn't be any problem at all. You can even go a day/week or 2 before and do a walkin.
