Immigration Forum / USA Marriage Base / September 2006Questions about Biometrics appointment...
I am a UK citizen married to a US citizen. Previously I filed for AOS and had the I-485 denied due to insufficient evidence, but had the I-130 Petition approved. I have refiled my I-485 and recieved my NOA. I notice that my biometrics appointment is now scheduled by USCIS, where before I had to call and schedule it myself. Is it now normal practice for USCIS to schedule biometrics? How long will it be before I recieve my appointment? Also when I file for work authorisation, I-765. Is this dependant on me having my biometrics done first? > I am a UK citizen married to a US citizen.

Regardless of what kind of AOSit is. I just went last week. > I am a UK citizen married to a US citizen.

It could be several weeks or more before you receive the letter. If you file the I-765 along with the I-485, you'll receive two biometrics appointments, one for AOS (full set of fingerprints) and one for EAD (1-digit fingerprint and photo). They may or may not be scheduled on the same day. If you end up with separate appointments, tge ASC office will usually accomodate you if you bring in both appointment letters, and do them at the same time. Rene Renee is correct. They do shedule your appoitments for you. Make sure you bring your appoitment notice with you. And yes, you need to have your biometerics done before you I-765 is approved. That is what they will use to issue your EAD.. > Yes, this is a change in procedure. USCIS now sends you an > appointment letter for your biometrics.

I may be as thick as a whale omlette for asking but if I get my EAD biometrics done first and don't get my AOS biometrics done until later, then will the lack of AOS biometrics slow down my EAD? > I re-read it twice and I don't see the answer to my question.

From what I hear, and based on our experience and that of everyone I know, both biometrics will be done at the same time. However, I do not see while the EAD should be delayed if you have not done your AOS biometrics, PROVIDED you have submitted your AOS application and it has been entered into the USCIS system. Granting of the EAD is dependent on having a I-485 in the system. > From what I hear, and based on our experience and that of everyone I > know, both biometrics will be done at the same time.

Elvira, His case is unique and he hasn't posted the facts in THIS thread. That's why everyone is confused. Basically, the OP had filed an I-485 and I-765, of which the I-485 got denied. Now he is refiling the I-485, but the 800 number told him it's OK to still use the previously filed I-765 and will be sending out the biometrics appointment for that. I am not sure if he has already filed the *new* I-485 yet or not. Toasty, just go to the EAD biometrics appointment. Then when you filed the new I-485 and you get another biometrics appointment for that, go get it done as well. You'll get the EAD whenever it gets approved and arrives in the mail. Probably that won't happen until you have a properly filed I-485 out there. You can expect to wait 90 days or more for your EAD. In my opinion, yes, the EAD would depend on a properly filed I-485 with USCIS. But who knows? Maybe your case will be different and you'll get the EAD sooner. My advice is to file everything, go to whatever biometrics appointments you have, and sit back and wait for the EAD to arrive in the mail. Be prepared to wait several months, just in case.

So...just go to both EAD and AOS biometrics appointments whenever they come up. Eventually you'll get your EAD. Even if the EAD is dependent on getting the AOS biometrics done (which I don't think it is), it doesn't matter because you are going to get the AOS biometrics done soon anyway (well, whenever they send you an appointment).

My Biometrics for both 765 and 485 was scheduled at the same time I dont know if that will help. ;). > My Biometrics for both 765 and 485 was scheduled at the same time I > dont know if that will help. ;). > > --- > posted via: > http://www.visaforyou.org/eng/ My AOS biometrics were scheduled at the ASC for this morning. I showed up with both my papers for AOS biometrics and EAD biometrics (which were scheduled for Tuesday). They did both and told me I didn't have to come in on Tuesday!!! As far as the I-765 from the previous AOS is concerned, so far so good. > My AOS biometrics were scheduled at the ASC for this morning.
