Two FP notices

[GC-062004]

Got two FP notices yesterday and the day before yesterday. Followed are details:

1st one (scheduled Mar. 9th), “ to process your application, the U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS) must capture your Biometrics…”

2nd one (scheduled Mar. 25th), “ to process your application, INS must take fingerprints and have them cleared by the FBI….”

My attorney suggested me asking the officer while the first FP whether I should take the 2nd one.

Just wonder if anyone here can tell me why there are two FP notices for me, and whether i must take both of them.

Thx,

Hi,

All that the FP officers need is your Social security # and your Alien # in the form. Rest procedure will be same.

You may take both of them and show them any one to get the FP done. You may not really need to do two FP's.

As your Attorney suggest, it is good to double check with them while you are there.

I am guessing thet collecting "biometric identifiers" is slightly different from fingerprinting.
It probably includes taking a picture in addition to fingerprints (similar to what is done at airports).
