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.

When you apply for a benefit from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) — such as a work permit, citizenship, green card, or even a green card renewal — a standard part of the process is a biometrics appointment (also known as a biometrics screening).

If you are 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.

During your appointment, you will be asked to provide information that will be used to verify your identity. This identifiable information to be collected during your appointment will be your fingerprints and your photograph. A biometrics screening is not an interview. Therefore, you can expect this process to be quick.
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.

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

1. Original Biometrics Appointment NOtice USCIS sent to you Form I797C, a notice of action for case type: I485 AOS application and I765 for EAD application. It will include information about the date, time, and location of your ASC appointment.
2. Valid Passport

You may notice that your ASC Biometrics Appointment Notice includes a code in the top right part of the letter. The code is intended to indicate the type of biometrics processing to be performed. The possible values are:

Code 1 – The appointment is limited to collecting fingerprints for all 10 digits. USCIS forwards the fingerprints to the FBI for a background check.
Code 2 – Personnel will collect a photo, signature, and index finger press print. This type of processing is typical for beneficiaries who receive a card like a permanent resident card or employment authorization document (EAD).
Code 3 – Personnel will collect a photo, signature, index finger press print, as well as fingerprints for all 10 digits. Code 3 is a combination of Codes 1 and 2.

Once the biometrics screening is done, the biometrics officer will stamp your appointment notice, marking the end of the biometrics appointment.

The biometrics officer will then return your Valid ID and your stamped appointment notice form I797C and you may leave the Application Support center. The appointment itself takes most people 15 to 30 minutes.
