Fingerprint appointment notices in cases of already approved I-485 applications
As far as biometrics is concerned in many cases the fingerprints are still valid. However at the time the fingerprints are taken, it is possible that USCIS may not have captured the photo, signature, and index fingerprint. After the approval of the I-485, the USCIS may request that an applicant appear at an ASC (Application Support Center) for biometrics capture. In a case like this the reason will be for a photo, signature and index fingerprint only. Dependents under 14 years of age will be asked to appear at an ASC for biometric photo capture purposes only.
