Participant said:
Above,some members mentioned like 'there is no background check for card renewal.'
But,some more info' suggests the otherway, as it seems.
1)http://uscis.gov/graphics/formsfee/forms/e-photo.htm#I-90:
USCIS requires photographs and fingerprints for certain applications. The information below tells you which applications require photographs and **fingerprints** and how they are provided to USCIS.
E-Filing Form I-90, Application to Replace a Permanent Resident Card
If you are E-Filing Form I-90, you do NOT need to submit paper photographs. However, you will need to go to one of USCIS’ **Application Support Centers** for the electronic capture of a photograph, fingerprints and signature. See Scheduling An Appointment for Fingerprinting and Photographs.

You are confusing with two different kind of finger prints. In this case it's talking about just index fingerprint that is printed on plastic green card. Certain situation it's required to have fingerprinted or re-fingerprinted. For example, For children under 14 does not have finger print on card. If the child grows and wants to renew his/her GC, he/she needs to be fingerprinted.

2)For example ASC,San Jose :
http://uscis.gov/graphics/fieldoffices/sanjose/faqs.htm:
Q: What does the ASC do with my fingerprints?
A: The ASCs send fingerprints to the Federal Bureau of Investigations for a criminal background check.
The above may not project direct link but probably suggests the way it is done.

This fingerprint is about both-hands (ten fingers and two plams) fingerprints. This is different from index finger-print on plastic green card.

See, what if some one keeps on applying for replacement card for every 6 months by reasoning that physical card was stolen/lost/damaged.

According to your theory, USCIS will be busy doing background checks on that LPR All that time. :p

It also establishes that there were no checks previously (until Nov.)
It just shows that there changes are always possible.

Hi Joe


From that memo, it is apparent that renewing GC might be as wearisome as getting citizenship as they do alot of back ground checking. Next thing you know they will update I-90 applications to include same type of questions as in N-400 application where they inquire about past behavior and moral history.
 
The tendency seems to be --heading towards 'Zero tolerance' attitude
or in near future may tend fully to a 'negative tolerance'(?) attitude. !
(in the light some more immigration HR bills on the anvil).

That's right. USCIS/ICE are trying to catch so-called "bad" fishes by any means they can. Once something (I-90) that was nothing but a clerical procedure, now it became another way to catch people. :eek:

'Negative tolerance'! That already exists in some quarters - including many lawmakers.
