Timeline for Fingerprinting
Dear Community I will file my I485 application in October. I will be traveling for a week and I am afraid that I may miss my fingerprint appointment. Can anyone please let me know how long is between the time we receive the mail with the appointment details to the actual date of appointment? To reiterate I need to know how far in advance to our fingerprint appointment we receive the mail where it says when is our appointment. thank you all

it’s usually 1month after the 485 has been received. however, it varies for so many people. I received the appointment notice 2 weeks before the appointment. if you recently had your biometrics taken by them, e.g for change of status, they will reuse the biometrics.

@Ale Moha, based on timeline to receive your receipts, I belive you should be fine.

@T. G. thank you very much. I haven’t had my fingerprints taken recently. if I get 2 weeks time I should be fine but if they give less than 5 days I might miss it.

@Ale Moha , it’s based on different categories, however if you’re given finger print before, in most cases they use it, no worries

is there any limit of using old biometrics ? like 1 year etc...i applied i-485 last year; it has been almost a year, my case was in "the case was received" now it says "case has change a new center and jurisdication" so do i need to have a biometrics ? or they bypassed; since the application stayed a year. @M K @T.

@M K thank you very much I haven’t had my fingerprints taken before. Do you know how many days are between the day you receive your appointment letter to the actual day of appointment?

@Al O the biometrics is usually valid for 15 months. But it’s not the actual data but FBI check. USCIS doesn’t store the biometrics data but transfer those to receive a report. I had to repeat the process because my previous one was expired
