Collecting biometrics twice
USCIS received my case on July 2nd. They sent a letter to collect biometrics on July 18th and my appointment was on August 5th. Everything was great until I received a letter on August 10th telling me to go there and collect biometrics on August 22nd. What’s up with that? 😅
Few points to consider:
1- I applied for AOS and WP only, I didn’t apply for travel permit;
2- My WP was denied because of a little mistake, which I fixed, sent back, and they accepted it;
3- On the first biometrics letter, in the “case type” section, it says “I-485 Adjustment of Status”, on the second biometrics letter, in the “case type” section, it says “I-765 Employement Authorization”.
Is it possible that they are making me collect biometrics for AOS and WP separately because my WP was denied at first?
I have never ever heard of anyone needing to collect biometrics twice.

yes Sabrina I did 2 as well the one for the i485 they collect your picture and prints and for the i765 just your picture

Interesting! Do you know why they do that?

yes you have to do two separate biometrics
one for each form.
like @Shan Shan said difference is the fingerprints for the I 485 n no fingerprints for i765

Yeah, I got that. I just wanted to understand why. Thank you though!
