I got my I-485 approved through WOM. Today I got the Welcome Notice from USCIS saying that my 485 was approved and should expect the physical card in 3 weeks. However, during my entire 485 processing period (4 years!), I was never asked to have pictures taken at the biometrics appointments. All my biometrics were just finger prints (Code 1). Is this normal? My lawyer said they could use the paper photos I submitted when I file the application, but I highly doubted that.. Is there anyone knows something about this?

BTW, my case is a really ooold case. PD March 2003, EB2 NIW. I-485 filed in May 2005. Filed WOM in Sep 2009, case got approved a month later.
