We filed our I485 three months ago and have never received Receipt Notice but just received an appointment to take biometrics. Anybody know what this appointment is for? Biometrics infomation are already filled out on G325, what else info do they need?

What you fill out on the G-325 forms is the BIOGRAPHIC information. The BIOMETRIC information is a metric (measurement) of your finger prints.
Typically, you will get a Code 3 FP which is Prints of all 10 fingers plus the Digital Photo.
BIOMETRICS is used for FBI checks, Criminal checks, and Background checks.
 
We did not submit a G-325 Biometric application for our 11 year old as all applications indicated this was not required for children under 12.
We received our Biometric appointments and they are requiring he be fingerprinted.
Do we now have to do the G-325 Form, pay the NEW fee, and take this with us???
Appreciate any experience or feedback.

Uscis lives in ultra-secrecy. Does anyone have a contact email for the Portland, Maine USCIS Field Office??
