Hello,
Can anyone tell me where Biometrics are taken? Is that always at the local office??
My local office is in Anchorage AK, i.e. about 8 hours by car from where I am going to live in Fairbanks, so it is a very long way just for fingerprints...

Thank you!
Faustine

Yes, biometrics are taken at your local office. It will be quite a drive...... Sorry, but it will be worth it at the end, I'm sure. Good luck!

Nearest field office or support center.

In my case we were directed to our field office to the west, but a friend of mine living in the next county east was sent to an application support center located east of here.

USCIS shows that your Application support Center is in Ancorage:
