Will they take photo? I have FP appt. on 1st Feb. Until now I thought they will just take the finger print.

Code one = All 10 fingerprints
Code two = Index fingerprint and photo (for EAD and physical GC)
Code 3 = Both of the above

Did my 3rd FP on Monday

Fingerprints and photos done for EAD,AP, or the physical Green Card.

I noticed one thing different, they took picture of me which they didn't the last 2 times i went to get FP done. Why are they taking pictures? Is that a new process or EAD or GC?
How long to get FP cleared? Who should i call to check on FP clearance? FBI or INS?

Thank you...

HK.
