FBI privacy requirements for USCIS biometric collection mean that fingerprints, photos, and signatures gathered during immigration processes are strictly protected under federal law and the FBI. These rules ensure data is encrypted, accessed only by authorized personnel with a proven need-to-know, and used exclusively for identity verification and background checks.

USCIS is informing you that your fingerprints and personal data are being shared with the FBI to run a mandatory background check.
