biometrics before green card ?????

[lilblimp]

just received a letter from the texas service center ." a review of your packet indicates your biometrics are missing or incomplete. we can not complete the processing of your immigrant visa packet without the biometric data ". have talked to uscis . but they were not much help . have already made appointment on infopass . anyone else have this problem . we just went to wichita yesterday to fill out paperwork for her s.s.# card . everything going great . had a article in our local paper about us [ i mentioned how candle was a great help ] valentines week . hope the best for everyone

Ya - somethings fishy - you should have gotten something in the postal mail about a biometrics appointment.

 

IIWY , I'd call USCIS and tell them about the f*up - Tell them to set up a biometric interview appointment.

 

Of course, you can get this set up at the InfoPass Appointment (which is better, actually)... But don't expect to be fingerprinted during InfoPass.

 

Sorry for your plight - your paperwork got lost in the reshuffled data bits on the USCIS computer.

What are you applying for? The Welcome Letter (mentioned in your signature) says that the green card should be arriving any day now.

 

Maybe the biometrics weren't taken in GUZ?

You need to look more closely at the letter. Are they asking you for anything? or what?

 

It is for your CR-1, or is it??

 

Of course, follow through with the InfoPass appt

no not asking for anything in letter. just saying that biometrics are missing or incomplete. would it be her x-rays ? yes cr-1

No - perhaps something is missing from her packet, or the fingerprints didn't take. They should notify you if anything is needed, but go to the InfoPass appt

 

the x-rays are inconsequential unless something else indicates she may have TB

i have to assume this was a k-3 visa, cause you have no nvc data bits in yer timeline (ds-3032, I-864, etc etc) prior to GUZ interview.

 

So - you filed the I-485 for AOS, and you got this back.

 

Somethings wrong, you should have gotten a letter for biometrics appointment. Biometrics = FINGERPRINTING.

 

Usually, a k-1 and k-3 are fingerprinted twice - ONCE in GUZ, ONCE in USA (after the I-485 is filed).

 

So, if I've missed some data bit here, please, enlighten me.

 

THANKS !

 

EDIT - OK - I've read through all of your posts -

 

In serveral of them, clearly it was a CR-1 visa granted at GUZ, and NOT the K-3.

 

Somehow, USCIS/DOS/GUZ has lost her biometric data, or the numbers got crossed up somehow.

 

Suggest you get this all sorted out at that InfoPass appointment. Worst case Scenario - they'll get her fingerprints one more time from a Biometrics Appointment, then wait a bit more for the GreenCard Processing.

 

Best Case Scenario - her electronic fingerprints taken at GUZ somehow got lost in the image database, they can find them if they look - but you'll need to suggest to them that they actually LOOK in their computers.
