If you're expecting a USCIS biometrics appointment based on your USCIS application, this video will calm down any worries you might have about this stage of your application.

First of all, if you've got to this stage of your USCIS application, Congratulations! Getting to the biometrics appointment is an important stage in your immigration journey.

But at this point, some people worry about what is involved, especially when they hear the word "Biometrics".

But don't be scared about the word "Biometrics".

All this means is that during your appointment, you will be asked to provide information that would be used to verify your identity. This identifiable information to be collected during your appointment will be your fingerprints and your photograph.

By submitting your biometric information, you will be giving USCIS permission to perform a criminal background search on you. And the outcome of this background search will be used to either approve or deny your application.

So now you know about what will happen let's talk about what you should bring to your appointment.

TIPS ON THE BIOMETRICS APPOINTMENT DAY

On the day of your appointment, you will bring the following:

1. Original Biometrics Appointment Notice that USCIS sent to you
2. A valid government issued ID - like a driver's license, passport, or green card

Also, you should plan to arrive at the USCIS Application Support Center 15 minutes before the scheduled appointment time shown on your appointment notice (or Form I-797C).

Due to health and safety precaution, the application support center may not accept walk in appointments. As they need to limit the capacity of visitors within the building at all times.

Overall, the appointment lasts for about 20 minutes. So, you should be on your way out in no time.

You should also plan to bring a face covering to your appointment, just in case it is required for you to have one in order to enter the building.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU GET TO THE APPLICATION SUPPORT CENTER (ASC)?

At the Application Support Center (ASC), you will not be allowed to use any electronic devices. If you must enter the Application Support Center with your cellphone, you should turn this off.

When you arrive the ASC, you will meet a receptionist who will review your Appointment Notice (Form I-797C) and your valid ID.

After the receptionist confirms your identity and your appointment schedule, you will be given a ticket number and a processing form.

You will then be asked to take a seat and wait for a biometrics officer to call you by your ticket number.

When the biometrics officer calls your ticket number, you will walk to the biometric officer's station and hand in all your documents. The biometrics officer will then review your documents and would enter your information into a computer.

Depending on the code number shown on your appointment notice (Form I-797C), you will be asked to scan some or all of your fingers, provide an electronic signature, or have your photo taken.

Once these are done, the biometrics officer will stamp your appointment notice, marking the end of the biometrics appointment.

The biometrics officer will then return your photo ID and your stamped appointment notice (Form I-797C), and you may leave the Application Support Center.

Went yesterday, I checked the website of the office I had to go to make sure everything was okay. For biometrics there's no dress code and shorts were fine. They just took a picture of my face and scanned all my fingers. It took 12 minutes since the moment I walked in until the moment I returned to my car 😊

Someone needs to pick me up for my biometric appointment in Honduras, i live in Tambla Lempira 💓

Hi there, my husband has a biometrics appointment. We did a K1 visa and he’s here in Hawaii and we already got married. Do we need our marriage certificate for the appointment? It does not specify on the paper to bring that but he’s freaking out because other people who post “help” videos are saying to bring your marriage certificate. I have ordered another one since the first one was mailed to USCIS for the filing of a green card. I don’t think the copy of the marriage certificate will arrive on time as the appointment is on January 30th and I ordered it 12/17/2024. I just need to know if it is absolutely needed for a marriage certificate at his biometrics appointment. Thank you. 🙏🏾

Hi sir, so what if you received your ASC notice appointment while in another city, and get the notice mailed to where you currently are, and can't reschedule because the notice came on Friday evening in the mail and the appointment is on the following Monday, can you do it at another location same date and time? Thank you.

[adibstory]

Hello and Thanks for your video. I did not reiceve the actual paper notice for biometrics on my mail, but I received it as a pdf in my USCIS account. Is the print of that enough? Or should it be the one they send in mail? Thanks again.

Hello, I would be grateful if you answer my question. I filled the information of biometrics with two pens. My first name I wrote it in Black and the another one was written in Blue because the black pen damaged. Should I worry about that or not? Thank you
