Biometrics appointment.

[newyorker123]

I went to biometrics appointment this morning, and they took only Pointing finger. I thought it would be all ten fingers, isnt it?

[gcformeornot]

your first appointment? I think only first one they do all fingers. Subsequent appointments they just do index.

yes, its my first biometrics appointment related to my I-485 application.

Couple of months earlier, I had fingerprint appt for EAD and they took only my index finger.

Pointing or index finger is the same.

So they only took fingerprint of your pointing finger or index finger again?

I thought in few cases they were reusing fingerprints from EAD biometrics appointment as needed. But in your case its the same.

no no I know Pointing and Index finger are both same.


My question is this is my first Biometrics appt (even though I applied I-485 as part July/Aug 2007 filers) but they just took the Index finger alone, when I asked the local office they told me according the receipt code its just the Index finger.

Now I am confused, do I need to call USCIS again ?

the Number is 1-800-375-5283

But I want to know exact extn/options to go directly to Cusomer support personal.

Can someone please provide the sequence to reach the TSC customer service agent?

On a lighter note:
this is the reason, since the wait time for GC is almost 10 years, they want you to go every year and give finger prints for one finger so finally 10 years = 10 fingers.
