I just received a notice for my wife's biometrics appointment as well.

Excuse my ignorance Spidey, what these biometrics appointments are for ?
thanks in advance ..
Totally agree with you.. Fancy/New name for fingerprinting, photos and signature(why signature I dont have a clue)spidey said:GS
They are for the 485 application. Just a fancy term for fingerprinting etc.
gp1975 said:Hi rrdrai
Just wanted to check if your 140 got approped????
Did you try inquiring with VSC about the 140 status.....
please respond
--------------------------------------------Nirvan said:I have seen many postings here which says that they got Biometrics (finger print) appointment notice from USCIS. But in my 485 receipt notice, it clearly says to call USICS and set up Biometrics appointment immediately. So, I called USICS and set up appointment instantly on the day of receiving Receipt notice. I don't know why others are not folowing this procedure or may be this is a new procedure.

Whattt dddaa !
In my case, after 15 days of sending 140/485/EAD/AP cases, I got a letter and it has a specific date and time for FP i.e of Aug 16 ... I didn't have to call even USCIS... so why few guys have to call for FP ...or I am missing some very critical things here ...
some body pls throw some light here on this !!
spidey said:I dont mean to single anyone out, so GS dont mind my posting a reply to your post... but this entire process is already mined with so many irritations / frustrations and unfairness...
this one is such a minor technicality. In the end, if your biometrics are being collected and transmitted.. what does it matter how we get that appointment...
I do not mean to offend anyone. I noticed we were getting ticked off by this apparently trivial and ultimately inconsequential detail (inconsequential in that our GC process is not really affected by how our biometrics appt is scheduled)... so I thought I'd share my thoughts.

LaborBadhi said:Hey Friends - I see LUD on my I-140 with no message. Dont know what will happen now.
May I see approval by tomorrow
ajakster said:Nirvan,
You will also get separate notices of biometrics with CODE....
if you still dont know why others are not following your procedure is because of that.
wait for couple of days before getting that letter and then go for that appointment......
