Fingerprint appointment notices in cases of already approved I-485 applications
As far as biometrics is concerned in many cases the fingerprints are still valid. However at the time the fingerprints are taken, it is possible that USCIS may not have captured the photo, signature, and index fingerprint. After the approval of the I-485, the USCIS may request that an applicant appear at an ASC (Application Support Center) for biometrics capture. In a case like this the reason will be for a photo, signature and index fingerprint only. Dependents under 14 years of age will be asked to appear at an ASC for biometric photo capture purposes only.
Applicants with newly filed I-485s and I-485s with print query results that are 15 months old or older are scheduled for the entire set of biometrics, including 10 prints, index print, photo and signature.

Dependents over 14 years of age will be scheduled for the entire set of biometrics capture. Dependents under 14 years of age will be asked to appear at an ASC only for biometric photo capture purposes. Upon approval of the I-485 at the Service Center, the adjudicator initiates card production, without recourse to ADIT processing at a district office.
Applicants should meet the terms of the ASC notices to complete the processing of the required biometrics.
The applicants must meet the terms of the ASC notices to complete the processing of the required biometrics. Applicants must go to the ASC's for both10-print and index fingerprints, signatures, and photos before an I-485 case is approved. USCIS finds that children under age 14 are not appearing at the ASC when they receive the notices or when they are scheduled for photo captures. Accordingly, USCIS is in the process of changing the notices to read simply "ASC Appointment Notice." Children under the age of 14 will go to the ASCs for biometric photo capture only.

. so there is no reason we can ignore any FP if it is issued.
