Still waiting for my FP notice, NOA from AZ 3/11 (DO Portland, OR).

I was wondering if they may skip biometrics as it's been less than 1 year (4/16) since I did my FP for removal of conditions for greencard through marriage.

your fingerprints are not necessary as you have done them less than a year ago ....
With USCIS, Biometrics expire in 15 months ... and since it hasn't been that long yet... I don't think you will need to redo them again ... if they did ask u, just mentioned that USCIS usually keeps the fingerprints for 15 months ...but they might ask u to come in for a picture to be taken as they issue the citizenship certificate now with a digital photo on it not a hard copy ..

Good Luck
 
All applicants for US citizenship are finger printed and name check is done, unless an applicant is over the age of 75 in which case finger printing is not done nor the biometric fee payable.

Since when did they start taking photograph for US citizenship applicants during biometrics?

USCIS Started taking applicants photos for the Citizenship certificate in November, 2010
The previous Certificates of Naturalization featured hard-copy photos of the candidates. The redesigned certificate features the naturalization candidate’s digitized photo and signature embedded into the base document. Eliminating the requirement to affix the hard-copy photo and hand-stamp the USCIS director’s signature cuts cost in man-hours and improves security.

Fingerprints are good for 15 months, if an applicant had his or her biometrics taken less than 15 months ago with any application submitted at USCIS office, DO NOT have to take them again. but they need to talk to an Officer to look up his/her file for the set of fingerprint taken ... But the applicant still has to pay for it though.
 
Hi All: Has anybody have the same thing happned????

Call the 800 number to correct your name on the application before USCIS sends out a biometrics notice .. .. once u talk to them over the phone, another NOA will be generated and sent to you to use instead of the one with the Typo ...

Good Luck

That's an automated letter sent out to all applicants, and it means, you will be scheduled for an interview upon receipt of your fingerprints results back from the FBI ...

No worries there, it's normal ...

Good Luck
 
Hi Folks:

Today, I called that 800 number and the customer representative suggested me to send a letter to the NBC related to my name typo. I did mail the letter.

About 2 hours later, I received my F/P appointment letter. My name is also not correct in this one too :( The funny thing is that this time they give me a 2-letter middle name :)

Real Name: xxxxx xxxxx
Notification of Action Receipt Name: xxxxx N. xxxxx
F/P Appointment Letter Name: xxxxx NA xxxxx

Just do your fingerprints as scheduled until your name get corrected .... You should NOT stop the Application process just because of a name typo, it will be corrected as you go a long ...

And even if USCIS couldn't do it in time and u received your interview letter with the typo still on it. Once you meet with your immigration officer, you will have the chance to correct your name right there and then as the officer goes through the application line by line asking questions ..

Good Luck
