Did you need to give only picture and signature at the biometrics apptmt, or also fingerprints? Did you also need to get the passport stamped at the apptmt? How much time did it take you?

What did you tell them? Is your I-485 approved?
 
On June 12, 2006, after approving your application, we ordered you a new card. Your card will be mailed to you as soon as it is ready.

Almost there!!

Why did you need to get your passports stamped? Isn't Code 2 biometrics enough to get your cards? Or is passport stamping the part of the process?

Infact our appointment (Code 2) was for Photo's and signature. but at the ASC they took all our FP, Photo & signature just be sure( Code3) . but in relaity you really don't need to do your FP in our case we gave our FP last Jan.let me know if you still have any questions.
 
In case we needed to travel out of the country...

Sometimes it can take 2-3 months for the cards to be produced, if the Biometrics were not done earlier during FP process. Hence to be safe, we had gotten our passports stamped.

Hope that makes sense. If not, let me know.
