Quick question-

We filed for AOS and the EAD... we recieved a letter for a biometrics appointment, and went. We just got an appointment for a 2nd biometrics appointment.

Is there any way to get out of going for a second appointment? We already went!

We called the USCIS line and the person said.. no you have to go.

... why?

It's inconvenient, but USCIS must have a reason -- maybe the fingerprints weren't up to standard, or something.

... That's certainly possible. My husband has worked with chemicals and hot objects for many years and has a lot skin damage on his right hand. All right.

We'll have to reschedule for now- its scheduled for 9AM and its many hours away and I can't afford a Manhattan hotel! but, that's what we'll do.

Go.

Thanks guys! You are all completely awesome. :thumbs:

One is for EAD and one is for AOS... if go to the first appointment with both notices and get it all done in one visit other wise you need to go a second time

We brought both notices WITH us (and added it on the paperwork), but apparently USCIS scheduling is different. Oh well.

That sounds odd..but what can you do? Good news is you should be able to walk-in before your appointment day and get it done early (or more to your convenience). :thumbs:

So they did biometrics for both? If so, then you should be complete unless as someome else suggested that the prints did not "take"
