My wife received a letter from USCIS regarding her BIOMETRICS exam scheduled for this weekend
What exactly is this exam?
Will my wife need medical documents from her doctor in Russia?

Thanks for your help

Biometrics is nothing more then a photo and fingerprints. The info will be used to search the FBI database to see if your fiance is a "threat" with a record or something.

Bring your appointment letter with you, along with some form of I.D. (fiance). It is mostly painless.

Biometrics is a piece of cake. Photo and digital fingerprints. This will be used for her electronic records and the photo for her green card. The whole process should take about 1/2 hour depending upon how many others are called that day.

Remember to leave cell phones, cameras and weapons in the car.

I'm serious. My wife accidently had one of my pocket knives in her purse. They spotted it in the metal detector. I think the USCIS is much to paranoid.

Watch out for cuts or burns on your lady's index fingers! They will make you reschedule if she has them and it just prolongs the process!

Just be sure they have all your wifes info correct when they finish up. They screwed up my wife and daughters and had wrong spellings and A# wrong.
Had to go 3 different times before thay got it right! Grrrrrrrrrrr
They can't just correct it but have to do the trip again by computer.
Cost us an additional 3 weeks + getting GCs

We had ours this past Tuesday, I did all the cooking for the week prior to the appointment as someone mentioined burns or cuts on the fingers could be a problem. We got there 30 min early and were out of the building bofore the appointed time.

It is no biggie....

We had to wait in line for a little bit, but it was a pretty quick process. I only read one article in Cosmo Girl (beats Golf Digest any day!) before she came out from the back.
