Interview notice without FP appointment

My Dad who filed an N-400 in early September 2008 just received a notice that his citizenship interview has been scheduled for early Feb 2009. But he never received a fingerprint notice!!!!! Why is that? I called the INS and no answer was given.

My Mom filed her N-400 same day as Dad and received her FP notice promptly after that. Why the difference? I am sure that my parents have not been fingerprinted for several years, since they got their green cards.

Is there an age limit on background checks? Dad is 80.

Thank you

Hi, Natasha.

I hope someone has an answer on that one or has gone through that experience. Sounds interesting.
I also mailed in my application in September and to this day no FP letter.
I'm really disappointed.:(
 
On page 35 of the M-476 Guide to Naturalization you can read the following: "If you are 75 years or older at the time you file your application, you do not have to be fingerprinted".

That's why your Dad never received a FP appointment.
 
Oh, yeah! that's right I remember that statement.
If I remember correctly, they don't even have to pay the biometrics fee.
right?

EDIT** That is right. Anyone 75 or older does NOT have to pay the biometrics fee.
