Does everyone receive Biometric appointment?

[bigley 0]

A question. I applied for I-751 my wife and stepson who is 19 received their biometric appointment letter but we have not received anything for my other stepson who is 13. I read somewhere that if the child is less than 14 they may not need a biometric even though we have to pay for it. Do you think this is what is going on and I should not worry about it or should I inquire further. The appointment is on Dec. 28th. for both my older stepson and wife. Thanks for any input.

Your information is correct. Under 14 will not receive a biometrics (but some cases might be different) although the fee is required. Just make sure you are clear on what you need to do when your child turns 14 - you should ask about that although he might be approved before then. I think there is a requirement for every LPR-child who turns 14 to submit something to get fingerprinted.

He will not be 14 till next November so everything should be approved by then. So I guess no need to call USCIS and wait on hold for hours to get the explanation?

Yes - that's correct.
