Biometrics Questions?

Ok, so I filed my I-485 a while ago, I got my notice for Biometrics ASC Code 3.

I went for Biometrics, no problem.

Then, I filed my I-765 about 10 days ago. I got my NOA and it mentions that I will have to get Biometrics ASC Code 2.... USCIS will schedule my appointment... etc.

My MAIN question is... Do I need to get Biometrics taken again for the EAD? if so, Why?

My secondary questions are:

And then when it will be time for me to file my I-751, I will have to get Biometrics again?

Then when I apply for Naturalization, I will have to get Biometrics again?

Why do I need to get fingerprinted 4 times... do my fingerprints change with time? :p :rolleyes:
 
Please research previous threads regarding this question. It's been posted many times before.
 
Hi Praetorian!

Usually when someone submits together the i-485 and I-765, then both fingerprints are done in the same moment. If you didn't applied together, then yes you will have to go again to do your fingerprints. And I think (but I am not sure), that when lifting condition (I-751) you need again to be fingerprinted!

I hope that helps!
 
The funny thing is they already have my Biometrics, with ASC code 3... why take them again for the EAD... and when I file i-751... and naturalize.

Fingerprints do not change, do they? :confused:

i filed 765 and 485 separately so too I had to go for two different biometrics. Venenzualan :D , when you finally get there you will realize that the biometrics are different from the ones you had the first time. This time they will fingerprint only the index finger (also called the digitus secundus) lightly and take your picture and you are DONE.

I understand they are valid for a specific time, so the would ask for a new set when you do your 751. I am sure the govt would love to save money time and resources, if your prints never changed.
 
Oh well, it is all good. Except for making my wife take time off work again :p...

By the way, it is V E N E Z U E L A N :)

Thanks for your responses.
 
PraetorianXI, I noticed in your signature that you had an RFE for I-693/W2/1099. I would think you definitely had to to turn in your civil surgeon medical examinations result and copies of W2. But isn't 1099 for self-employed people? If you are self-employed, I understand. Also, didn't you send the tax info when you submitted your Affidavit of Support, I-864?

Final question, was the RFE for only your tax documents or also for the sponsor's? Thank you!
 
You asked this already.

Only my wife's (sponsor) income was counted on the I-864, so we sent her W2s and 1099s.

1099s are miscellaneous types of income, all kind of them.

But anyways, the RFE was for my wife's tax papers. Not mine.
 
praetorianXI I think the reason u need to get a new fp every time is because it will take them a long time to find ur old fp and reference it to the new application. Remember when you took the fp they scan the msc# to ref. the application. I'm not sure if I'm making sense but I hope I am. lol

This seems to be a persisent myth on this forum! The most common reason someone gets a 1099 is for the bank to report interest received on a U.S. bank savings account. Other reasons would be if they have a brokerage account, mutual funds, etc. It's very common to receive one or several 1099s each tax year, depending on how many interest or dividend generating accounts one has. Some countries, such as the one where I'm from, tax this kind of "passive income" directly. In the U.S. it's included in income tax.
