United Nations - What are your thoughts on second FP?

[greatgc]

Hi,

Will you kindly help undestanding what MIGHT be the reason for folks for getting mass FPs.

Is that possible to get the 485 approval notice w/o PD being current?

Dude, you are making too much of a big deal for FP...
If your PD is not current, then FP means nothing...U are worrying too much for nothing...

For 485 - only key thing counts ...your namecheck clearance and PD to be current. If you meet these two criteria, one can expect approval...

Sometimes, FP notice comes when namecheck cleared....or every 15 months...So, the first thing, one should do, after FP notice, is enquire about namecheck...If namecheck cleared, well, may be your 485 approval is coming soon...

may be you are right!

banta..

Ya -may be u r right about making big deal!
But am so sick of this hide and seek with USCIS, there is no particular pattern that one can conclude any thing.

Some got code 3 second time, some got code 1 second time, some with PD current did not get second FP. so I guess TSC is going crazy and before I go so, I will try to stay away from the related readings

UN,

I have been trying to send you a PM, but it wouldn't go through. Can you please send me a note saying where I can send you the details on which I need your input.

Thanks a tonne!

Everybody seems to be looking at any sign from uscis as if they are going to get a greencard right away.

Fingerprinting is just standard procedure that they expire after 15 months.

Getting a new notice for fingerprints is just routine procedure. USCIS wants to make sure cases are adjudication ready once priority date becomes current for you.

Second reason is that although they can't approve acase until priority date becomes current; they can deny at any time. Any inadmissability issues they want to deal with sooner rather then later. If a person gets a criminal record after first fingerprinting well they want to flush that out early to see if they can deny 485 and get person out of the country.

Thanks Un!!!

Thank you very much UN.

I applicaition is 17 months old so FP expiration probably could be a good reason.
I have scheduled for immigration office appointment via infopass, same day before giving second FP.

BTW my FP2 and the appointment are tomorrow!

I will share IF there will be any news/info. from my meeting with the immigration officer before my FP2.

I have scheduled appointment in such a way that I will meet the officer before FP2.

Completed Second FP2

Hi,

I just completed my second FP2. As of writing this no change in LUD on my USCIS online account.

Before completing second FP2 I had appointment with the immigration officer and I am told by her that my name check is not yet complete. I did not expect as I think my application is comparatively newer.

Also, I just accross this link saying this second FP is for taking FP of all 10 fingers. Today I have FP for all 10 fingers!

So, this second FP bussiness seems "bussiness as usual".

Also from www.immigration-law.com/Canada.html, here is another latest for FP2.

05/04/2007: State Department Notice of Biometric Finger Scan Changes for Visa Applications
The State Department has announced change in the standard for fingerscans of the Biometric Visa Program from two fingerscans to ten fingerscans. This notice does not have any substantive changes in the biometric collection issue. We believe that the USCIS has already launched the ten fingerprint scanning at the ASCs. Read on.

Probably getting second FP might be an indication of going things in order in a reasonable time frame.

I am not sure why they can't just run my fingerprints they already have on file through the system to check my criminal record instead of dragging me 180 miles to the nearest USCIS office every 15 months or so
