Fingerprints Rejected Twice I-485

[TillyTilly 0]

Any information will be greatly appreciated.

I had my first set of fingerprints taken on January 15th 2008. No one told me they weren't good. After many calls to uscis costumer service and infopass appointments (where according to them, my case was in interview preparation), the beggining of July we got a letter to go gety biometrics taken. Again. So I went on July 21st 2009, and called the FBI yesterday. Surprise surprise rejected yet again. I have hyperidrosys and there is no way my fingerprints will show up. I called uscis and they said that to schedule another appointment or to ask for police clearance is to the discretion of my adjudicating officer. I read on some threads though that fingerprints twice rejected normally trigger an interview. Is that true? The customer service lady said my interview won't be schedule before my fingerprints can be cleared. I am panicking here. If it really does trigger an interview than normally how long after the second rejection? Pleeeeease help. I filed December 18th of 2008, got my ead but so far no interview notice.

Hopefully someone will have an answer...

ok, so since no one was able to help me I just wanted to give everyone an update. This might help someone in the same situation. So at the end of July we got another letter for a third fingerprint appointment. I walked in to the application support center and thankfully they let me in. I told the assistant there that something might be wrong, because I'm on my third set of fingerprint over a period of 6 months. (fingerprints normally expire after 15 months), so he took a look at my notices and realized that on my first fingerprint the person that helped me wrote it was done in 07 instead of 09, so it already got to them expired! So my third fingerprint was for them actually my second!!! So on august 1st I did my third (second on their view) set of fingerprints. That was a Saturday. On Monday I called the FBI hotline, and no surprises here, they were rejected yet again. However on August 7th (6 days after fingerprint I got a letter scheduling my inicial interview for September 3rd!! I can't believe. I've read that they normally schedule the interview for about 1 month and 3 weeks after the notice date, but mine was only less than a month a way. Anyway I am ready with the police clearance letters and hopefully everything goes ok!

Hi TillyTilly,

I got a second notice to take biometric/fingerprints again within 1 month.

Do you know why ?

Did you get an interview ? what did they say about ?

Please help me.

I do appreciate it

Sincerely,

Yofei

We also got a second request saying the FBI could not read them. My wife has dry fingertips and the woman struggled a bit, but you would think with these computer systems it could tell you if it worked or not before they make you waste another half a day and wait 3-4 weeks before you can try again. I hope it works next time.
